About this property

Charming and Relaxing 4br Farmhouse - Ski + Hiking

We are thrilled to share our idyllic country home with you and hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Built in 1882, set on a hill with ample indoor and outdoor space (two kitchens!) overlooking the Housatonic River and the famous West Cornwall bridge, our fully stocked house is close to hiking, fishing, kayaking, skiing/snowboarding. Set in gorgeous Litchfield Hills near the Appalachian trail, wineries, breweries, farms, rivers and lakes, waterfalls, antiques, casual or fine dining.
The space
Step into the comfort of our beautiful 4BR/ 2.5 BA farmhouse . We like to describe the decor as modern farmhouse. There is plenty of space for everyone and sleeps 8. It is steps away from the Housatonic River & West Cornwall Covered Bridge. It offers a relaxing getaway close to hiking and fishing and the quaint village of West Cornwall. The house is located across Rt 7 and an easy walk through the bridge across the river and into town. There are many places to hike around the area and explore the countryside. A lot of farm stands, breweries, wineries, pick your own fruit and pumpkins, antique stores, and amazing restaurants within a short drive away.

Amenity List:
✔ 4 Comfortable BRs
✔ Fully Equipped Kitchen (and another kitchen upstairs if you have a large group!)
✔ Plenty of space to hang out - Family room, living room, dining room, front porch, screened in back porch
✔ Outdoor Areas with fire pit
✔ Smart TV
✔ High-Speed Wi-Fi
✔ Free Parking

Plenty of natural light comes through the large windows, making the home very bright during the day. The fully equipped kitchen and adjacent dining area are where you'll get to prepare and enjoy delicious meals with your loved ones before relaxing in one of the many communal rooms , setting the stage for memorable evenings.

Retreat to four comfortable bedrooms, which allow you to rest after an exciting day of outdoor adventures (or more rest ;)

But wait! The best is yet to come! Step outside to one of the inviting outdoor spaces (first floor porch, screened in back porch, or second floor back deck) where you can catch a breath of fresh air, listen to the river and enjoy a beautiful sunset. You can also enjoy a family corn hole tournament or game of bocce.

When you've had enough of the great outdoors, you'll be able to retreat to the second-floor rec room and have a fun movie/board game night.

There are numerous options in this cozy and spacious home. We are looking forward to you experiencing them all.

★ LIVING ROOM(S)★
It immediately feels like home! Find your place on the comfy sofa, cuddle up with a good book, watch a movie, or discuss your plans for the day. We have a second floor family room and a first floor lounge (if not using the twin mattresses and as an extra bedroom).

✔ Comfortable Sofa with Pillows
✔ Smart TV
✔ Board Games
✔ Comfy Chairs
✔ Puzzles and Games
✔ Record Player with random and FUN record collection


★ SCREENED IN PORCH ★
Come down to the screening in porch (not heated so probably not in the winter) on the first floor to discover another large table to play games and have a meal al fresco.

★ KITCHEN(S) & DINING ★
We have two kitchens!
First floor kitchen - It is fully equipped with cooking appliances that make it suitable for preparing any meal, whether a simple breakfast, quick snack, or a three-course gourmet dinner.

✔ Microwave
✔ Stove
✔ Oven
✔ Toaster
✔ Coffee Maker/grinder
✔ Refrigerator/Freezer
✔ Kitchenaid Stand Mixer
✔Food processor
✔ Glasses

✔ Pots & Pans

Second floor kitchen - The house was divided into two units and converted back into a single family, and we still have two kitchens. The second kitchen is not stocked, but has working oven, stove, fridge and you are welcome to use it. The room has great light and I like to do yoga in this room ;)

Have a few drinks on the porch while the food is getting ready. Once it's done, serve it on the dining table and enjoy a tasty meal with your loved ones.

✔ Dining Room Table with Seating for 8
✔ Screened in Porch Dining Table with Seating for 8

♛ Bedroom 2 Second Floor: Queen-Size Bed
♛ Bedroom 3 Second Floor: Full-Size Bed
♛Master Bedroom 3rd Floor: King-Size Bed, Ensuite Bathroom
♛There is also a lounge on first floor with a door that closes and two twin mattresses (in the closet) and linens (in window bench). You could put the mattresses on the floor and sleep two more in this room.

★ BATHROOMS ★
Besides the ensuite bathroom of the master bedroom, the house features an additional bathroom that caters to the remaining bedrooms and the living area on the first floor off of the kitchen. There is a half bathroom on the second floor and another sink in the second floor kitchen. All are stocked with fresh towels and essential toiletries to ensure you have a carefree stay.

★ OUTDOOR AREAS ★
A fantastic home like this would not shine in its best light if it did not have private areas where you can relax and enjoy the breathtaking views. Step out onto the front porch, the backyard or second floor deck offering a serene oasis perfect for relaxation and outdoor activities.

✔ Upper Deck (Sitting Area)
✔ Lower Screened in Porch (Dining Table with Seating for 6) - We love to eat and relax here during the summer evenings
✔ Spacious Yard (Cornhole, Fire Pit)
✔ Front Porch - The front porch is one of our favorite places to drink coffee

We look forward to you finding your happiness in this charming house. This could mean unplugging for a while, watching a movie, playing games, or enjoying a glass of wine anywhere you like!

✔ High-Speed Wi-Fi
✔ Self Check-In

Other things to note
★ COVID-19 SANITIZATION and CLEANING★
Heath, safety, and well-being of our guests are of utmost importance. For this reason, we use a thorough cleaning process after each check-out. Our home is over 140 years old and, though greatly cared for, shows its age in some places. Expect to find some loving wear, quaint aging and charming patina both inside and outside.

★WATER TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE★
There is plenty of water from the well and plenty of hot water. When there is a very full house, the water pressure and temperature can be affected if many people try to use the water at the same time.

★ NO SMOKING ON PROPERTY ★
Smoking/vaping/incense are NOT allowed inside our property. Violation of this rule incurs a $500 fine. Thank you very much for your understanding.

★ NO PARTIES/EVENTS ★
We kindly ask you to treat our home as your own to preserve its pristine condition for future guests and your return visits. Thank you very much for your understanding.

★ SMALL DOG POLICY ★
Must send request. Less than 35 pounds. Can’t be left alone in the house. Will use Security deposit and add additional cleaning fees if any mess.

★ Ask me about discounts on fall and winter non-holiday weekday rates! Stay longer!

Let us know if you have any questions; we have the answers. Happy Travels!
Guest access
The house is exclusively yours without interruption during your stay, so relax, unwind, and make yourself at home.

Lovely setting, BUT
This is great for fit younger adults and older children but it proved daunting and dangerous for this active, nonetheless frail, elderly person. Both tub-shower arrangements were inaccessible (too high) for me due to my physical limitations. There are no railings up the front steps. That would have been OK except for the gap between the steps that "grabbed" my cane and nearly sent me tumbling. 20 years ago--even 10 years ago--this would have gone unnoticed by me. Also not recommended for fearless young children unless constantly supervised. That said, the place is cheerful, comfortable & cozy. I just wouldn't encourage frail elderly people to stay here.

We love our house in CT and want to share with you

Why they chose this property

We live in the city and need a relaxing spot in the country near some of our favorite hiking and friends

What makes this property unique

This was the farmstead for the entire area and has a lot of historic significance. I also love all of the woodwork and historical details. Walking through the bridge into town is my favorite.
