Beautiful location for a getaway weekend for me and my family

The Barn is a gorgeous home with very sophisticated art and furniture. The home is really comfortable, eight of us easily fit in the living areas and the beds were super cozy. We took a short drive to the town of Litchfield and had a fun time exploring the shops and restaurants there. Perfect place for a relaxing weekend.

Great for a relaxed stay

We were a group of 10 , a mix of family and friends. The house is bright and airy and we had a great time hanging out in the family room with the eclectic selection of books and watching the stars on the deck at night . Would work great for four couples .Liked the set up in the kitchen and the coffee was lovely.

Excellent Place for Family to Gather

We rented this lovely home to stay while we attended a family wedding in the area. Our adult children and two grands enjoyed being together in this comfortable and clean home. We were grateful that each family had its own bathroom. Our granddaughter loved playing ping pong too. Highly recommend!

A BEAUTIFUL AND PEACEFUL HOME

The house was amazingly clean, beautiful and spacious. It was very well decorated and orderly. The bedrooms are spacious and plenty of bathrooms. Its surrounded by woods so very nice and peaceful thru out the day and night. It was very well accommodated. There is only one TV in the house but plenty of books, puzzles and games. We enjoyed the grilling and hanging out on the deck. It's a 5 minute car ride to Lake Waramaug which was nice. A two car garage was nice too. Overall a nice beautiful house. A

Big Chill 2023

Four college friends and spouses in our 60’s spent a relaxing 2 nights in Alicia and Harry’s beautiful home in the mountains of New Preston. The accommodations were clean, up to date and spacious and impressively equipped with all we needed. The kitchen was perfect for too many cooks to prepare a gourmet dinner. When in the home we spent most of the daylight hours in the living room and most of the evening hours in the family room downstairs. Our ping pong matches were fun. All the bedrooms were spacious and had full bathrooms. We would not hesitate to return.

A great stay for eight friends

We loved staying in your beautiful home. There was room for all eight of us to sleep comfortably and hang out together. The home was clean and well stocked, and there was nothing more that we needed to make our stay perfect. The hosts were responsive and lovely to deal with. They answered every question in good time. The only problem is that we left 2 gray raincoats--possibly in the closet near the front door. Please let us know if you find them. We will pay for the shipping. Thank you again, Alicia and Harry

Such a nice Property!

The photos don't do this property justice! It is more spacious and the decor is more upscale than depicted. Plus you just can't capture "CLEAN" or "comfortable beds" in a photo. It's in a very rural area, but the nearby town is sooo quaint. Unfortunately, we weren't here on a pleasure trip but we'd love to come back to explore the town. We did get pizza at The Owl, which is not your usual pizza joint, their pizza's are gourmet individual pizza's. The cocktails were interesting and the ambiance and service was worth the visit. Thank you so much for opening your home to us. It was much appreciated!

New Years Eve Get Away

The Barn is a comfortable and welcoming property. It was our first visit to the area and we found there to be a range of interesting options. The property is well appointed and very spacious. It is generally well maintained and in keeping with the website photos. We were disappointed with a few issues that were either not working properly or broken but they were not showstoppers. As frequently is the case with VRBO rentals, the property could go from very good to great with a few modest investments, attention to details and modest improvements, particularly at this price point. The hosts, or property manager, was very responsive and helpful to our requests. All in all, a very positive experience. Thanks!

New Preston, A Weekend Away We'll Soon Never Forget

Well, what can I say about Alicia and Harry's home? It's THE BEST! I've rented many a VRBO and this one might be my all time favorite. My NY girlfriends and I met up with our MA girlfriends right in the middle, in New Preston, CT, for our annual "ladies cozy weekend." And boy howdy am I glad we did! The house is a dream, so spacious, we each had our own bedroom which was a lovely escape from our relentless families at home. Every bedroom is lovely, the beds are super comfortable, the bathrooms are nice. It is SO CLEAN, maybe the cleanest VRBO I've ever encountered. The fireplace is a real treat on a cold winter's night. We didn't even use the downstairs lounge area and I'm not sure why we never made it down there but it's just as nice as the upstairs. We had Nespresso's every morning and gathered round the dining table for breakfast. We ventured out into New Preston which is the CUTEST most quaint little town and we're charm snobs. We went on a hike to the pinnacle which was glorious and we ate at Community Table and to whoever is reading this, I can't stress this enough, GO THERE! None of us wanted to leave we wished we had booked another night and almost two weeks later we're still talking about how much fun we had. Thank you Alicia and Harry for your lovely lovely home!
