As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.

We love unique places to stay in Connecticut. After all, if you’re planning a getaway (or staycation) to the Nutmeg State, you want your overnight accommodations to be just as spectacular as the rest of your trip. Sure, you can stay in a boring chain motel, but why would you want to when there are so many great alternatives? One spot that we think is a pretty unique Airbnb in Connecticut is the listing for a barn room at Southwood Alpacas. That’s right, you can spend the night right on a farm surrounded by some of the cutest animals around.

This tranquil spot is tucked away in Woodstock. It's one of the largest towns in Connecticut's northeastern corner, but the population is still only around 9,000 people.

This area is called Connecticut's Quiet Corner due to the fact it's less busy than areas closer to the shore.
This lovely region with beautiful pastoral landscapes is a great part of the state for some peace and quiet.

You'll find that this is one of the best places to stay in Connecticut. The renovated two-story guest unit features a kitchenette, living area, bathroom, and queen bed.

... plus a bathroom and a queen bed. And for entertainment, there's a television and Wi-Fi.
But honestly, we'd rather just disconnect and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
Jeff/Airbnb
The views encompass some of the most beautiful sunrises in the state.
The alpacas are just outside your guest house.

You can observe these cute fuzzy creatures from the bedroom window or one of the two decks.
You won't get much more of a country living vibe than this.
Jeff/Airbnb
The property is great because you aren't too far from local restaurants and stores if you'd like to go into town, but if you prefer to stay on the farm, it's pure peace and quiet.
We could all use a little rest and relaxation every once in a while...
