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.

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.

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.
