About this property

The Doctor's 1781 House on the Litchfield Green

Welcome to the Doctor’s 1781 House on the Green in the Litchfield Historic District, a registered lamdmark. We are thrilled to share with our guests this beautifully preserved 1781 house and gardens in Connecticut’s quintessential colonial village. Located among historic homes and buildings and across the Green from Litchfield's charming restaurants and shops, walk in the footsteps of Washington, Tallmadge, Rochambeau, Henry Ward Beecher and Harriet Beecher Stowe and other luminaries of America’s beginnings. Litchfield County offers several charming tourist features. Known for its scenic beauty and historic significance, Litchfield attracts visitors with its picturesque countryside, fall foliage, colonial architecture, and cultural attractions. You can explore the charming Litchfield Green, a historic village green surrounded by well-preserved 18th-century houses and churches. The town is also home to the Litchfield Historical Society, which showcases exhibits on local history and offers informative tours. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy the natural beauty of the area by hiking in (or getting married at!) the nearby White Memorial Conservation Center or exploring the rolling hills and serene lakes. Litchfield hosts various cultural events and festivals throughout the year - art, jazz, flowers, vintage cars - adding to its vibrant charm.

Clean and comfortable. Great location to town. Easy check in and welcoming host. Would go again. A little bit of road noise in the front bedroom but worth it to be so close to all the town spots. Easy parking too.

This historic home is perfectly located, tastefully decorated, well appointed and oozing with New England charm. We loved the convenience of off street parking and walked across the street to wonderful shopping and dining opportunities. The host was very helpful and responsive and willing to accommodate us if we became stuck by the winter weather. Highly recommend!

This is a beautifully kept colonial home. Walking the path to the entryway is full of lush plantings, adding to it's charm. Our host provided everything we could need from coffee to iron and ironing board. The rooms are wonderfully furnished in keeping with the period of the house. There are ample places to sit and chat, and a lovely little patio.

This was a wonderful place to stay for 4 nights while we were in town for my mother's funeral services. Having grown up in Litchfield I wanted something in the center of town so I could walk to restaurants and the coffee shop. It was clean, luxurious, and eccentric. Loved it!

Amazing stay!

This property is wonderful! The location is ideal both for shopping in Litchfield and visiting other towns. The property owners are absolutely amazing. Our flight got in late so we arrived late and Hal met us at the walkway with a lantern to make sure we could find everything. He gave us the complete tour and history of the house. He and his lovely wife made us feel like family throughout our stay. We wish it had been available for our whole Christmas holiday, as we would definitely continued our stay! We would love to come back and stay here again. Great place for a family!!
