We loved everything about this place. Private, secluded, kitchen had all the essentials, great gas stove, beautiful home and furnishings, comfy beds. The pool and deck area was our favorite feature, along with the nice back yard and fields. We hope to come back here again soon. It was amazing and wish we had booked more days! Host was terrific and accessible, however there was no need for any contact.

This house was perfect. Had everything we needed. Kent is a great town, the falls are cool. We spent all day in the pool, which was great and had great fires at night. Had tons of towels sheets, cooking equipment….we will def go back, amazing secluded getaway perfect from Westchester. And the owner is very nice and responsive, checked in w us while we there to see if we needed anything.

We had a wonderful stay-- the house is beautiful with tons of light on the main floor, a lovely pool, deck, yard and everything we needed for a glorious week in a magical corner of the state. It was delightful to just hang out on the property, but we also enjoyed several nearby adventures-- rafting on the Housatonic, driving/ hiking to the nearby sandy beach river bank, going for long bike rides in Kent and on the harlem valley rail trail, hikes along the river and AT, and enjoying some delicious meals at nearby restaurants. There are so many other local adventures that we weren't able to squeeze in, but the house is in a great location to experience it all! Thank you!

Relaxing getaway!

We had a great time at Ruth’s house! It was a great space for families with kids and dogs. The house was very comfortable, the pool was super relaxing, and the nearby areas of Kent and Cornwall have cute towns and beautiful parks. Ruth was an excellent host and communicator. Would love to come back again!

The LA home in Litchfield County

What an open, hospitable space; interesting as a museum but comfortable for ages 2-70. Everything you can possibly think of is there - from soda stream to dog crate, to crib, swing, beautiful clean pool and deck, TVs, projector, grill, fire pit and more. The setting is quiet and stunning.

We love visiting Hudson valley area and staying at Cornwall Bridge property each year. We have been visiting this home for the past 8 yrs. So this house feels like our second home. We visit Macedonia Park,visit Kent Waterfalls etc. Thank you for sharing your warm and cozy home with us.

Lovely property by the river

This house is beautiful and warm and is surrounded by a striking natural landscape. We enjoyed the proximity to skiing at Mohawk and the coziness of the Grand Room with its view of the river and large yard. You can tell her family actually uses the house and it's not just a rental as it has everything you could need. Ruth was very responsive to any questions we had. Highly recommend!

absolutely stunning!!!

We have been visiting Cornwall Bridge for the last 7-8 yrs and always have a great time staying at this property. The house had a "facelift" this year with lots of positive changes and improvements including new appliances, new mattresses etc. The house was spotless and clean. Even our dog was excited staying at this property. Thank you again for sharing your home with us. See you next year.

The perfect retreat

The house is gorgeous. Clean, slightly funky in the best way (colors, interesting art, amazing books on shelves, really interesting furniture). The pool is a gem. Everything is comfortable. Ruth responded to inquiries immediately. Beds were super-comfortable. Everything was pleasing and relaxing and stimulating. View off of back deck is other-worldly gorgeous.

Great House and Beautiful Location

Our group of 4 adults stayed at Ruth's house for 3 nights. With the heavy rain and snow keeping us mostly indoor for our stay we got to enjoy the house's open space, cozy fireplace and well-equipped kitchen. The area is quiet and the view of the river is amazing. The house is close to the beautiful Kent Falls and its charming town, an orchard and many good trails, parks. Communication with the host and check-in/out were smooth and she promptly addressed all our questions. I would definitely stay there again, hopefully when the weather is warmer so we can get a chance to enjoy the pool! Thanks Ruth!

Nice but...

This property was ideal for some much needed rest and relaxation. Quiet! However, the linens provided were filled with holes. Upon stripping the bed found a gross stained mattress cover (blood and other unknowns). Definitely a turn off. Would book again but the place needs a little TLC.

Sun, Swimming & Seclusion

This property is fantastic. It is tucked away, off the main road, in a perfect nook of CT - Cornwall Bridge - with a home, pool and everything else you'll need for a killer family/friends trip. Our family of 4 plus pup brought kayaks intending to hit some of our favorite lakes but with the pool we never left the property! Lots of open space inside for eating, conversation, playing games. Aesthetic is kinda industrial meets shabby chic...a trendy 3 bedroom Tribeca loft, spiral staircase included, on the hillside banks of a beautiful river. Here are just some of the things we did in our week-long stay here... Pool, pool, pool! Frisbee tosses in the yard with Cookie Started up the Fire Pit and made S'mores in yard at night Swung from a swing suspended from a 100-year-old tree. Coffee on the terrace overlooking the Housatonic River Enjoyed bees, birds & butterflies in the beautiful gardens Watch Olympics/Play games in the lower level living room Cooked and ate a big communal dinner with friends Rocked in a rocking chair (covered) while enjoying an amazing downpour into the woods and river. We did leave a few times...to get food, thrifting/shopping, grab coffee, get ice cream, enjoy top-notch breakfast sandwiches from Wilson's and JP Gifford in Kent, get more ice cream (Fudgie's and Arethusa). Kent Falls is down the road. Kent Package Store too, for local brews and wine. It was like staying at an old friend's place! We loved it and hope to be back!!!

Dormitory in beautiful setting

First, let me say the location and views were beautiful. We enjoyed the deer and chipmunks as well as the birds and starry night skies. The property is far off the road and was very quiet. The pool was great for those hot afternoons. The kitchen was well stocked with necessary pantry items. The problem is the property is not well maintained. There were multiple plumbing issues and the overall feel was run down and dirty. Spiders have taken over the exterior and webs were all over the windows. The furniture is stained, worn, and uncomfortable. There is no TV in the living room; the black orb of a fireplace is the focal point and completely in the way. There is no art on the walls anywhere except for a moldy photo in the basement bathroom. The owner has her junk all over, on the desk, in the medicine cabinet and stuffed into the linen cabinet shelves. The curtains in the bedroom and downstairs bathroom are mismatched and look like sheets hanging on warped rods. Towels are old and stained. The beds are futons and not very comfortable. The outdoor furniture was no better. Rusted through chairs surround the poolside table. We were stuck here for 4 weeks, next year I will research better.

Whatever you do, don’t rent your property to these people. They are disrespectful and lied to me about the fact that they had driven up from Florida to CT when Covid was exploding in Florida which had spooked all of the people who worked on the house. They were inconsiderate to all of the kind people and vendors who service the house to point where they refused to go to the house during their stay...which was why the house could not be tended to in it normal way. For example, when I tried to get a plumber over there to fix a toilet seat that said was cracked, they tried to keep the plumber from entering the house. Both the cleaning person and the handyman said that the wouldn’t do their normal chores during their stay. They lied about how many people were using the house. They represented an aesthetic that was totally incompatible with local aesthetic. And their behavior was rude and antithetical to the area...look at the other reviews of the house and you can see the differences in behavior.
