Sleeping is arranged across a king primary bedroom, three queen bedrooms, and a twin room with a trundle bed, supported by three full bathrooms.

The home is stocked for at-home time with cable TV and free Wi‑Fi, plus a full kitchen with an oven/stove and microwave. The game room highlights include a full-size air hockey table, a cocktail-style Pac‑Man machine, and a record player for a vintage record collection. There’s also an on-site fitness center noted among amenities.
Outdoor Space
Outdoor living centers around a patio, a screened-in porch, and a fire pit for evening gathering. Cooking options extend beyond the kitchen with an outdoor grill plus both gas and wood-burning grilling. Free parking supports multi-car groups.

The home places you close to local Connecticut towns and outdoor attractions: about 10 minutes to Washington Depot, 8 minutes to downtown New Preston, and 12 minutes to downtown Kent. Nearby recreation includes Lake Waramaug State Park (~12 minutes), Mohawk ski mountain (~35 minutes), and Kahn-Nostrand Preserve hiking trails (about a 12-minute walk or 1-minute drive). It’s also positioned for event weekends, with multiple airports within roughly 60–71 km and access to Metro-North (about 20 minutes away).
