Cottage rental in Darien, Connecticut - Romantic Cottage on the Shores of Tokeneke Park - Property 146146

What I LOVE The Most About 'Eden Rock': Eden Rock is located in a very serene and peaceful setting within the heart of an private estate association, Tokeneke Park. I love hearing the various types of birds, the wildlife, and watching the baby bunnies hop about. I look forward to walking to boat laden Five Mile River just two houses away, fishing off the lagoon bridges and beach pier, watching the seagulls strut about the beach to finally rest on one leg. All the seasons are beautiful each providing their own brilliant colors. Tokeneke Park is rich with color. Brilliant greens of the trees, grasses and pachysandra and yellows and purples displayed by jonquils, daffodils, forsythia, and crocus in early spring changing to whites, pinks, reds, corals from flowering trees and shrubs. In the fall, deep yellows, oranges, maroons and white are evident by the multitude of hardy mums, daisies and changing leaves. Winter is characterized by white, the whiteness of snow, smoke from the chimneys & barren birch trees.
