Overview
Kielwasser 5BR is a luxury, smoke-free five-bedroom country rental in Washington, Connecticut, designed from three barns and a silo on a private six-acre apple orchard. The home sits in a historic walking neighborhood adjacent to Averill Farms Apple Orchards, with views over farms toward surrounding hilltops. It’s positioned as an easy rural retreat within about a two-hour drive of New York City, close to town restaurants, shopping, and area land preserves.
Bedrooms & Bathrooms
The layout includes 5 bedrooms (three kings, one queen, and a twin bedroom set in the silo) and 3 full bathrooms plus a powder room. Bedrooms are described as “elegant,” with plush down pillows, featherbeds, comforters, and fine cotton linens. Bathrooms feature marble finishes, nickel fixtures, and Frette towels and bathrobes, along with Bigelow bath amenities.
Kitchen & Indoor Comforts
A chef-oriented kitchen is equipped with cookware and silver flatware, a 6-burner Viking range, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator, plus a microwave and oven/stove. Comfort features include central air conditioning and heating, multiple wood-burning fireplaces, free Wi‑Fi, cable TV, and in-home laundry (washer). Additional in-home systems noted include central vacuum, alarm, and central sound.
Outdoor Space & Recreation
Outdoors, the property offers landscaped grounds with flagstone terraces and a patio, plus a poolside setup with a gas barbecue for outdoor cooking. Recreation centers around an 18' x 44' gunite in-ground outdoor pool (heated per listing title). The orchard setting and nearby preserves support a stay focused on fresh air and scenery.
Location & Nearby Highlights
The home is about 1 mile from town, around 3 miles from Lake Waramaug State Park & Beach, roughly 15 miles to skiing (including nearby Mohawk Mountain/Sundown areas), and about 1 mile to hiking. Nearby dining options include The Smithy Cafe at 9 Main (about 2.4 km), G.W. Tavern (about 2.6 km), The White Horse (about 3.35 km), Community Table (about 4.79 km), and THE 202 TAVERN (about 3.79 km).

Best for
This property best suits groups and multi-generational families who want a high-end countryside base with space to spread out, thanks to five bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and a full chef’s kitchen. It’s also a strong fit for seasonal getaways centered on outdoor time—pool days in warmer months, lake trips to Lake Waramaug, and skiing within about 15 miles.
Travel tips
Plan to arrive by car: the home offers free parking, and most nearby dining and outdoor attractions (town restaurants, the lake, and ski areas) are easiest to reach by driving. For flights, Tweed New Haven and Bradley International are the closest listed airports, each roughly an hour-plus away depending on traffic. The home is about 1 mile from town, so you can quickly access restaurants like The Smithy Cafe at 9 Main and G.W. Tavern.
