Best for
This home is best for groups and families who want a private, rural Connecticut getaway with a year-round hot tub, outdoor grill/BBQ, and room to spread out in a 4-bedroom house.

Travel tips
Plan to have a car: the setting is rural and most dining, shopping, parks, and ski/beach outings are reached by driving. If flying, Tweed New Haven Airport (~48 km) and Westchester County Airport (~65 km) are closer options than the NYC airports. Consider mapping out day trips in advance (e.g., Lovers Leap State Park, Steep Rock Preserve, Mohawk Mountain, Lake Waramaug) to match the season and weather.
