Nestled between the quaint towns of New Milford and Kent, we are in the heart of antique shopping, such as the famous Elephants Trunk flea market and delicious restaurants such as the Old Oak Tavern that is within walking distance. ▶️ Watch our video tour here: https://vimeo.com/1164975070?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci Although not visible from the house, the sounds of the Housatonic River can be be heard from the front covered porch and you can find fishing spots by simply driving down the scenic dirt road or one of the local hiking spots. The home is also conveniently located 30 minutes from both Mohawk and Thunder Ridge Ski Mountains and numerous trails for snowshoeing and cross country skiing. Inside you will find a well appointed home with cozy nooks and space to spread out despite its smaller size. A large kitchen with island seating and plenty of storage is a pleasure to cook in. A designated dining table comfortably sits 4-6 with extra chairs available if needed. Although the downstairs fireplace is not functional at this time, there is a large soaking tub for relaxing. The living spaces and primary bedrooms are heated and cooled by a split system and the spare bedrooms by fans and space heaters as needed. This home has four sleeping spaces and two full baths. The four bedrooms upstairs include two queen bedrooms and two singles, one which is currently set up as an office with a day bed but could certainly be used as a bedroom. A pack n play can be provided upon request but please bring your own bedding. The upstairs bathroom includes a large soaking tub for relaxing. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace ### Outdoor areas - Balcony ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Property does not allow children - Unit size: 1,400 square feet ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/78000000/77190000/77186600/77186537/04fbcde1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### PLYMOUTH MOTOR LODGE Terryville - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi - Air-conditioning - 24/7 front desk 7.6 Good 180 reviews £63 includes taxes & fees 26 Feb - 27 Feb [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-26&endDate=2026-02-27&selected=77186537&PinnedHotelID=77186537&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![House (3 Bedrooms) | Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/102000000/101830000/101821500/101821479/e9969d7f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Charming Connecticut Retreat Near Museums & Hiking Waterbury - Kitchen - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi - Microwave [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-02&endDate=2026-03-03&selected=101821479&PinnedHotelID=101821479&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![House (3 Bedrooms) | Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/119000000/118050000/118040300/118040284/b982f7ca.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 3 Mi to Kent Falls: Nature Escape w/ Deck & Garden Cornwall Bridge - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-02&endDate=2026-03-03&selected=118040284&PinnedHotelID=118040284&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/68000000/67540000/67535400/67535368/74b4ddd1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 2nd Floor The Inn at Highland Lake Winsted - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Free Wi-Fi 9.6 Exceptional 17 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-02&endDate=2026-03-03&selected=67535368&PinnedHotelID=67535368&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Desk, WiFi](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/125000000/124240000/124230500/124230490/w1416h960x24y0-3b37d4e9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### #43- Modern Luxury Log Cabin Retreat | Fire Pit Prospect - Kitchen - Washing machine - Pet-friendly - Air-conditioning £309 includes taxes & fees 19 Feb - 20 Feb [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-19&endDate=2026-02-20&selected=124230490&PinnedHotelID=124230490&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/109000000/108030000/108024800/108024756/f1f3687a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Charming renovated 3-bedroom house in serene Winsted Winsted - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Free Wi-Fi 8.0 Very good 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-02&endDate=2026-03-03&selected=108024756&PinnedHotelID=108024756&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/83000000/82820000/82813300/82813223/8cdb3a8b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Charming 3BR Hilltop House, Newly Remodeled with Arcade Plymouth - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Free Wi-Fi 10 Exceptional 35 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-02&endDate=2026-03-03&selected=82813223&PinnedHotelID=82813223&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![1 bedroom, free WiFi, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/106000000/105800000/105792700/105792603/e79fab41.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Secluded Mountaintop Retreat – Rustic Luxury & Panoramic Views at Freedom Farm New Milford - Pool - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Free Wi-Fi 8.0 Very good 1 review £144 includes taxes & fees 17 Feb - 18 Feb [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-17&endDate=2026-02-18&selected=105792603&PinnedHotelID=105792603&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/96000000/95650000/95643100/95643005/2303364f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lakeview property in private community.
