Guest rating: 5.0 / 5
Overview
MOOSEHORN is a large, single-family, six-bedroom luxury retreat in rural Litchfield County, Connecticut, positioned as an easy getaway from New York City (about 1.5–2 hours by car). The home sits in a quiet Roxbury-area estate neighborhood surrounded by land preserves, overlooking a pond and set on a scenic dirt walking road near the Washington town line. It’s intended for peaceful stays, with house rules emphasizing no parties, events, or large group “share” use.
Space & Interiors
The property is approximately 4,300 square feet with high ceilings, two fireplaces, and two kitchens including a large eat-in kitchen. Comfort and finishings are a focus, with Frette pressed cotton linens, bathrobes, and down featherbeds/comforters/pillows, plus smart TVs and Wi‑Fi. In-home conveniences include a washer, heating and air conditioning, and a smoke-free interior.
Amenities & Recreation
A key highlight is the heated outdoor pool alongside outdoor living space such as a patio (the wider PoshPadsCT portfolio is described as featuring landscaped grounds and flagstone terraces with a gas BBQ). For longer stays and self-catering, the home includes a full kitchen setup with an oven/stove and microwave, plus essentials like an ironing board. Free parking and free Wi‑Fi are provided, and the home is noted as kid-friendly and pet-friendly.
Location & Things To Do Nearby
The setting is well-placed for exploring Roxbury and Washington, an area known for restaurants, shopping, and rural scenery. Outdoor and day-trip options cited nearby include Lake Waramaug State Park & Beach, nature preserves and the Shepaug River, and winter access to Mohawk Mountain and Sundown ski areas; other regional draws mentioned include Lime Rock Park and Quassy Amusement Park. Dining options within roughly 6–12 km include G.W. Tavern, Zaza’s on Main, The White Horse, Cowboy Butter, THE 202 TAVERN, Filos Latin fusion, and Housatonic River Brewing.
Best for
This home is best for travelers who want a high-comfort, low-distraction country retreat near Washington and Roxbury, with a heated outdoor pool, fireplaces, and a large footprint (six bedrooms) for spreading out. It also suits self-catering getaways thanks to two kitchens, laundry, and a full set of in-home basics (Wi‑Fi, AC/heat, parking). Guests looking for a quiet stay in a preserve-surrounded estate area—rather than events or party-style weekends—will be the best fit.
Travel tips
Plan to arrive by car; the surrounding Litchfield County towns and restaurants are best accessed by driving, and the home includes free parking. For air travel, Tweed New Haven Airport is about 50 km away, with Bradley International and Westchester County airports each about 65–67 km away. The property is on a scenic dirt walking road, which may be slower-going than paved routes—allow extra time when navigating locally, especially in winter.
