Perks for the Parents

This serene woodland retreat has everything you need for a family stay and is set within 6 acres of total privacy. It sleeps up to 11 (6 adults and 2 children in beds). The house is tucked away and set back far from the road so the kids can roam free. Walk down the path to the river for a swim or take the little ones to hunt for crawfish. The chef’s kitchen is well equipped with premium appliances including a Nespresso machine for your morning cup. Nearby, there are wineries to visit including Hopkins Vineyard and Sunset Meadow Vineyards for wine sampling and vineyard views.

Why Kids Love it

The hosts have young children and the house is perfectly set up with childproof baby gates at the stairs and playrooms. There are tons of toys and books for little ones and babies. The nursery features 2 twin / single beds and there’s a Pack ‘n’ Play available if required, and 2 highchairs. Each bathroom features a large tub for bath time. Outdoor toys include a water table, baby pool, hammock and playground. Meanwhile, older kids will love the free-range aspect with nature to get stuck into including the forest and the river.

Things to Know

Minimum stay: 7 nights. For those with allergies please note that the owners of the property have a dog. Safety notes: There is a baby gate at the bottom of the stairs, but older kids could climb between the rungs on the banister and get past the gate with little effort. For parents who like to keep fit, a WaterRower rowing machine and weights are available for guest use. A travel crib is available for an additional baby or toddler and a double airbed and single airbed can accommodate an additional 3 guests.

About the Location

This woodland residence is about 10 minutes‘ drive to shops and wineries in Litchfield, Connecticut and approx. 2 hours’ drive from New York City. It’s set back about 1/4 mile into the woods down a long private driveway. The drive opens to a clearing where the house sits atop a hill that slopes down to the Marshepaug River. Swim in the river or at one of the nearby public beaches in summer or drive 15 minutes to Mohawk Mountain for skiing in winter. Litchfield is a picturesque town with a great farmer's market, cute shops and restaurants. Bantam, Washington Depot, and New Preston are close by.

Style Notes

Modern rustic. The space exudes calm with pale oak floors combined with white walls and contemporary furniture. The décor is simple and elegant with a pale pink sofa and white armchair in the living room in front of a large picture window with views of the trees. The bathrooms are modern with white or pink vanities and black taps. Neutral colors and wood furniture don’t detract from the natural beauty outside. We love the open living space with large windows, the cozy fireplace for curling up next to in the winter, and the fabulous playroom that little ones will adore.
