Beautiful Northwest Connecticut Property

Excellent home on beautiful property. Perfect for quiet stay in a country setting. Picturesque "old New England" area. We stayed in January and house is warm and comfortable. Fire place in living room was awesome. Wood burning stoves in each bedroom is also a nice feature. Plenty of seasoned fire wood provided by owner. All needs were met. Owner was very flexible and accommodating and even checked-in with us during our stay due to impending snowstorm to reassure us driveway would be plowed timely and he was available for anything we may need. Would highly recommend this home.

Windows to nature

This was our second stay at this delightful house that brings the scenic masterpiece of nature from every angle through the multiple windows throughout the house. The large windows in the kitchen/dining room area were designed to capture the setting sun over the beautiful country landscape Serge, the host, is very hospitable and very responsive to communication The house is exceptionally clean , comfortable and equipped with everything one needs to prepare meals The surrounding areas are very picturesque and we had an excellent dinner at The Woodland in Lakeville where we have eaten a few times over the years and dies not disappoint. We also ate in Le Gamin fir lunch which was also very good and comparable to authentic Parisien fare We plan on returning next year as it keeps calling us back.

In nature

Wonderful place for a WINTER stay not summer as the downstairs of the house (kitchen, dining room and living room) is not air conditioned. The terrace is small and in full sun. We absolutely loved our stay in the winter. As a matter of fact we are staying there this winter again!

Perfect home away from home!

We were charmed by the view and the serene setting in a glade alight with fireflies at night and wildflowers by day. The house had every amenity, well stocked kitchen with many extra touches. Air conditioning in bedrooms made our stay really appreciated in the humid heat of July. Our family loved it and will come again!!! Great location for local wedding attendees 🥰

All around great stay/experience

We had an amazing stay in Sharon, CT! The house was beautifully arranged, clean, inviting, and cozy, just as described. Lannyl and Serge are great hosts and were very helpful and friendly in their communications, especially as we needed to adjust our dates. They even reached out when they found our daughters slippers which we left behind, and offered to mail them to us. We will definitely try to stay there again on future trips to the area.

Nature bathing in Sharon

The moment you walk into this charming home, you are transfixed by the setting. The house is secluded in a serene and picturesque pastoral setting with a view of the mountains in a beautiful meadow brimming with birdsong, deer and rabbits and a bird ‘s eye view of the sun. All the large windows throughout the house capture the view in its essence. The house is airy and well lit by the light that filters in through all the windows Every amenity is thought of from quality appliances, pots , dinnerware, comfortable bedding and accommodations for whatever cooking utensil you could possibly need. The barbecue grill is new and has a large capacity This home is exceptionally clean and Serge and Lannyl were very responsive and gracious The four poster bed in the upstairs bedroom has a breathtaking view and a perfect way to be lulled to sleep. The photos on the website don t do it justice but it s always a nice surprise when a house surpasses your expectations. I plan on returning n the Fall for another spectacular nature show. Rosemarie M

Super property

While the house itself isn't notable from the outside, it is wonderful inside, and the view is incredible. The 2 main bedrooms, dining and living areas are large and pretty; there is even a separate wardrobe room off the main bedroom. Pretty patio overlooking a meadow and ,mountain, as do the common areas and main bedroom.The hosts have thought of pretty much thought of - and stocked - everything, (Including coviid self-tests, which we unfortunately needed.) We would definately use again.

Great place with an amazing view

A really great NorthWest CT home that we loved spending our holiday in visiting nearby family. The owner helped us coordinate our arrival (which is not easy with a toddler) and we enjoyed our stay throughout the two weeks. The West/SouthWest mountain views never get old and the home felt cozy even as the temperatures dropped. A great stay.
