Ah, the Connecticut countryside. Is there anything better? The quiet greenery of our small towns and farmland areas looks so quintessentially New England that it could be straight out of a Norman Rockwell painting. If you’re looking for a perfect countryside getaway in Connecticut, Preston is a great option. This little town in the southeastern part of the state has a population of just under 5,000, and the primary industry here is agriculture. It’s a beautiful little area that just so happens to also be only about 15 minutes away from Mohegan Sun, one of just a small handful of casinos in New England. Whether you’re looking for a quiet stay surrounded by farmland or you want a peaceful home base from which to enjoy the non-stop action of the casino, we’ve found a unique place to stay in Preston, CT that fits the bill. Check it out:

While Preston may be quiet, the rowdy atmosphere of the casino certainly isn't!

Mohegan Sun is filled with options for those who love to gamble, from cards to slots to horse racing and more. There are also plenty of opportunities to wine and dine the night away at the on-site restaurants.
Once you're all done at the casino, it's nice to have somewhere quiet to go back "home" to. This Vrbo is only about 15 minutes away from Mohegan Sun, and it's a tranquil farmhouse that makes for an incredible stay.
