Beech Tree Cottages - Madison, Connecticut

We had our wedding at Beech Tree Cottages on 10/4/2024!

Beech Tree Cottages for starters, is beautiful. We loved the massive trees and the 1930s cottages that, with the proximity of the beach, really reminded me and my husband of both our hometowns in Cape Cod and Upstate NY. We loved how they only had one wedding per weekend, and having all the cottages filled with our guests made it feel like a larger event rather than just a day.

Beyond that the real selling point was Amanda. Other venues had point people that represented the venue’s interest, but at our first meeting it was clear that she represented our interest as well. She walked us through all of the rental and food options, and was very flexible in working with our vision. On the day she worked with all of our vendors, and was always available to email about questions, concerns, freak outs, advice, and suggestions.

The family and larger Beech Tree Staff were also great to work with. They did a great job with setting up all the decor I had accumulated, and the tablescapes looked better than what I had imagined. Everyone was complimenting the bartenders. They make their own in-house BBQ solely for weddings, and it was worth the hype. Multiple people have said to us it was the most fun they’ve ever had at a wedding!

Just perfect for my daughter's wedding party on August 10th. we had 6 cottages. clean and comfortable as well as private. I personally want to thank them for all their help and patience and professionalism putting up with me. Great staff as well.

Stayed early August 2024. Location is nice as it is a short drive to the beach and to town. However was very disappointed by how run down the cabins were. There was wood rot which had not been addressed. Toilet had difficulty and the shower head was the oddest I had ever seen.
I was also frustrated that although the map makes it appear it is possible to walk to the beach that is not the case as there is a rather large camp, with large fences between the cottages and the beach.

What a gem! We come back year after year! The cottages are absolutely adorable, very comfortable, and clean. The location is fantastic, so close to Hammonasset State Park, the beach, and shoreline dining. The owners are the best, they are kind, accommodating, and they remember us every year. We've stayed in several different cottages (both small and large) and have been happy with every visit! A perfect alternative to a crowded hotel. Easy parking, beautiful grounds. You won't be disappointed!

Poor value and in need of major work. No fridge in the cabin. Poor lighting. Musty smell. No coat hangers on hanging rack. |Road noise. Parking about 150 metres away not adjacent to cabins if have heavy luggage. Very dated.|Beware that there are mosquitoes outside. |Bed was comfortable.

What a wonderful place to stay! We were visiting our son in New Haven and wanted to stay near the ocean so we found this place online. It was perfect for our needs and incredibly close to Hammonasset State Pak which was a great place to hike and breathe in ocean air. Great restaurants nearby. Our cottage was simple but not rustic, and very comfortable and beautiful. The customer service was excellent, especially squeezing us in before the official season began. Loved our time there and would highly recommend!

Very nice, cozy, clean and charming hideaway. Tucked away behind tall trees and schrubs off of route 1. A minute from Hammonasett Beach and cute Madison.CT town. The large cabin was roomy with a couch and chair and the bedroom had a comfortable bed and closet. Both rooms had a window a/c unite as well as ceiling fans. The kitchenette was nice with a great coffee maker and microwave.||Recommend it highly||||Definitely will return.

Went to the cottages this weekend (5/21/21-5/23/21) and stayed in large cottage #9.||||It was amazing. The room had adorable beachy decor and comfortable furnishings. It was spotless, you can tell the owners take covid-19 very seriously. Check in and check out was socially distanced too.||||The bed was comfortable and the ac worked well. The mini fridge was large, which I appreciated because I brought pre-made food that could be reheated in the microwave. Tea, coffee, sugar and creamer was provided as well as very nice soaps and toiletries. Even the towels and blankets were soft and cozy.||||Only negative was the spotty wifi, however they were up front about it so I wasn't that annoyed. It was actually good to disconnect for a weekend.||||The area is also super cute. Madison and nearby Guilford are full of cute shops and restaurants.||||I will definitely be coming back.
