About this farm stay rental
Our farmhouse was built in 1793 and renovated early in the 21st century. It offers all the modern amenities, but in a historic setting. The house has 5 bedrooms, including a master suite, and ample common spaces, including a huge kitchen with a six burner stove and two ovens, an enclosed porch perfect for meals on a summer evening, a pool, a large pond, and 10+ acres of well-maintained park. Please note, our house sits close to a highway. There is plenty of greenery to maintain privacy, but traffic is sometimes audible.
The house itself is filled with lovely 18th century details – wide-timbered wood floors, exposed beams, tiny nooks – but it's also roomy and comfortable. There are five bedrooms (one in the attic) and many common spaces – a living room, sitting room, open kitchen/dining area with a functional fireplace, enclosed porch, home studio, and large patio. The house sits on a sixteen acre plot, and much of that land is ready to be explored. There's also a pool next to our historic barn. The house sleeps ten. We recently installed solar panels on the barn, because we're committed to making Sweetbrier more sustainable.

Beautiful farmhouse - our family stayed in February of 2024 and there was a lot of snow - this house was perfect - held up to the elements magnificently - comes with a strong central heating unit that warmed the entire house and an awesome fireplace in the family room. The garage was full of firewood and we needed nothing. The driveway did get frozen over and caked with snow. We unfortunately rented a rear wheel drive Ford Explorer and had some difficulty getting out of the driveway, but then a hero appeared and scraped and salted the driveway. I was so thankful and he said "all part of the service" he works for Harmony

This is the second time we’ve stayed at this property in a picture perfect setting. We had another beautiful stay with everything we needed. It’s the perfect setting to cozy up and cook with everything we needed to quickly reset and spend quality time with our management team to connect, cook, and relax. The fireplace helps provide a warming backdrop to a perfect setting with tranquil views of the sprawling backyard in a historical home, we highly recommend and will likely return for a third time in the future!

This old farm house was everything we expected and more. Just beware you may get lost in the house a few times when you first arrive, lots of rooms and areas to explore. Larissa one of the cleaners was there when we arrived and she was friendly and beyond helpful. They definitely went above and beyond paying attention to details, from the furniture and decor to having everything you may need during your stay. If I could give this property 10 stars, i would! Thank you for such a wonderful stay!

The property was well stocked and perfect for our needs. We had enough space to spread out and yet felt close enough to enjoy everyone’s company! We will stay here again!

My family was absolutely impressed with the view, size and authenticity of this home. It was so homey yet like living in another century. Too bad the weather didn't allow us to appreciate more of the outside. It was rainy and cold. Words cannot express how happy we were. Thank you!

We came out to Connecticut to spend time with our son and grandchildren that live here. I wanted a place that would allow all of us to have room to be together. The house and property was perfect for our needs. Such an amazing home and the grounds are beautiful! I'd highly recommend a stay here!

Short stay, planning to return
Enjoyed a 2-day stay here for business. We all talked about what a great place it would be for a large family gathering. Could imagine it being the right spot for a small outdoor wedding. The house is full of interesting architectural details and furnishings. Nice grounds with good views. There was also a great wifi connection in the house--something we haven't had in other Litchfield County homes.

Family wedding weekend
We spent two nights at this wonderful home. We wish we could have spent an entire week here. The property is beautiful, and the house itself is very interesting. We loved exploring the unique features of the home, that was very comfortable and well stocked with all the amenities we needed.

1757 Farm House with modern amenities!
The house and property are both amazingly well maintained. The home feels like you’ve taken a step back in time some 250 years, but is also very comfortable. It was hard for our family and, two young kids to leave. Looking forward to another stay at Sweat Briar Farm!

Stunning View in Historical House
Our stay at Sweetbrier Farm was rejuvenating. Amazing property with tons of rooms to share space, or spread out for peace, or both. Great kitchen with ample supplies and powerful gas stove where we cooked a lot in our short stay. Beautiful, historical rooms were a trip back in time with newer rooms mixed in for a unique feel. We would happily come back to stay or recommend this home to families or groups. Litchfield and Sweetbrier Farm is a wonderful place to find some reprieve.

Great weekend getaway!
Everything was so easy! This house looked exactly like the pictures and the home has clearly been taken well cared for over the years. The indoor and outdoor space were plenty. The house had everything we needed and was in working order. The yard is beautiful and provided additional space for us to enjoy the outdoors. We will come back when the pool is open!

Great place for a family or work retreat!
We loved our time at Sweetbriar Farms. It was quintessential Litchfield! We found ourselves spending all of our time in the kitchen/family room space. The property was perfect for our work retreat. Plenty of room for everyone. Great getaway.

A great weekend home in Litchfield!!
We were attending a wedding close by and the location of this home was perfect! The home was the epitome of CT rustic charm. Everything we needed was provided and offered a stress free getaway.

A magnificent old country farm house beautifully restored.
This rambling country home is situated on a lovely setting with nearby pond. Lots of room for guests, an incredible spa/bathroom off the master bedroom, roaring fireplace in the dining room and great working kitchen. I would have liked more working fireplaces in the other two sitting rooms, but, otherwise, our Thanksgiving week rental was most satisfying and the owner could not be more helpful.

This home is beautifully situated on top of a beautiful piece of property - with a pool and a pond
The house was built in 1793. It has a lot of original charm of a house built in that time period and yet many features are renovated - new kitchen and new master bath. It is about a five minute drive outside of the town of Litchfield. One negative is it is located on a busy street where people drive by at 50 mph

Amazing property!
I stayed here with some friends for our Taft reunion and it was perfect. It's very spacious and comfortable throughout the house, and the screened in porch and stone deck were perfect for BBQing on a spring/summer evening. Working with the owners and caretaker was very easy and they are very nice.

Absolutely Beautiful!
My family and I stayed here for the weekend, we had a family wedding nearby and honestly can't wait to come back! The home and property are beautiful, the view is breathtaking and peaceful. The house is off a main rd...but did not find that an issue at all! The house itself has an old cozy charm to it ! The pictures are exactly what every room looks like! The kitchen was great to gather while we made breakfast and chatted then ate in the sunroom! It was perfect for my family of 10 ! Elizabeth is great to work with and very accommodating and Laura who helps take care of the house was a doll! ! I have to say that when booking something online you are never sure what your going to get but you will not be disappointed with this house!!! Its a gem!
