Guest rating: 5.0 / 5
Overview
6-Acre Luxurious Country Home with Goddess Point Lookout is a Cape-style vacation home in Woodbury, Connecticut, set on six private acres and surrounded by a 700-acre land trust. The setting is designed around big views of the surrounding hills and valleys, with a named sunset viewpoint at “Goddess Point” Lookout. The property is smoke-free and is positioned as a spacious retreat for families or groups of friends.
Layout & bedrooms
The home is arranged as a 4BR/4BA (plus a main-level half-bath) with generous common areas and large windows. The main level includes a king bedroom with an ensuite bathroom, a queen bedroom, a full bath with tub, and a half-bath—useful for guests who prefer to minimize stairs. Upstairs are a double bedroom, another queen bedroom, a bathroom with shower, and a large home office.

A well-equipped kitchen supports full meals and group cooking, with an oven/stove and cooking basics plus small appliances including a blender, coffee machine, juicer, and waffle maker. Comfort features include central heating/air conditioning, two indoor fireplaces, cable TV, Smart TV, free Wi‑Fi, Sonos sound system, and in-home laundry (washer/dryer). Practical extras include an ironing board, hair dryer, toiletries/essentials, and a crib.
Outdoor space & recreation
Outdoor living centers on a patio/terrace with an outdoor grill (BBQ) and an outdoor fire pit, plus a backyard and the property’s scenic overlook. Nature access is a key draw: guests have access to eight miles of hiking/walking trails at Flander’s Whittemore Sanctuary Preserve, with walking access to Lake Quassapaug. The combination of land-trust surroundings and lookout views makes sunset time a signature moment here.
