About this house rental

Perched on a rise in the beautiful lower Berkshires of Litchfield County, this house is your ideal escape from city life! A modern house with a New England farmhouse feel, surrounded by lawn and flower beds, with green views from every window of this sun-filled cottage. Situated in the tri-corner region of NY, CT, and MA, it sits on a breezy rise overlooking hay fields, and is surrounded by gardens featuring a stand of pines and butternuts. The west-facing deck, living room, and master bedroom, overlook the sunset beyond the hay fields, with Indian Mountain defining the horizon. The trip from New York City is either by car (1.5 hours), or by rail. Wassaic station is 20 minutes away and it is the last stop on the Metro-North Harlem line.

In the fall, the autumn foliage and sparkling blue skies of the season are in full display at this location. This listing is ideally located for visitors to the Hotchkiss School. For the intrepid, the Appalachian trail is very close for a pleasant day hike. Apple picking and berry picking or any local day activity is punctuated by cosy evenings at the fireplace or flatscreen TV in the living room.

Winter at the house takes "cozy" to another level. Enjoy resting indoors by the fireplace, while watching the snow fall all around. If you are a skier, within a 20-minute drive you will find skiing at Mohawk, and if you head north, Butternut, and Catamount are also a great weekend choices in nearby southwest Massachusetts.

Besides Hotchkiss School (5 minutes), Kent (20 minutes) and Indian Mountain school (10 minutes) are also nearby. This home could not be more convenient for parents up for a weekend to combine rest and visiting with a son or daughter.

Lion Rock Farm and Hotchkiss Farm, popular wedding venues, are less than a mile away.

The house features a kitchen with modern stainless appliances, granite counters, and a 30 bottle wine cooler. Anderson windows are everywhere, wood floors and marble tiled baths. Cable service, broadband internet and WiFi keeps you connected, ... if this is what you must do.

Wildlife is everywhere, birds of all kinds, owls, hawks, ducks, geese, turkeys, foxes, bobcats, deer and black bear. Yes, black bear, so we urge our guests, especially those with small children, to avoid getting close if one appears. They are most active in early spring.

We hope to hear from you!

Busy running back and forth to Lime Rock for a car event, but able to enjoy a peaceful stay upon returning to the house. Highly recommend this house, but really don’t want to so I can have it all to myself, when needed.

Excellent home on beautiful property. Perfect for quiet stay in a country setting. Picturesque "old New England" area. We stayed in January and house is warm and comfortable. Fire place in living room was awesome. Wood burning stoves in each bedroom is also a nice feature. Plenty of seasoned fire wood provided by owner. All needs were met. Owner was very flexible and accommodating and even checked-in with us during our stay due to impending snowstorm to reassure us driveway would be plowed timely and he was available for anything we may need. Would highly recommend this home.

This was our second stay at this delightful house that brings the scenic masterpiece of nature from every angle through the multiple windows throughout the house. The large windows in the kitchen/dining room area were designed to capture the setting sun over the beautiful country landscape Serge, the host, is very hospitable and very responsive to communication The house is exceptionally clean , comfortable and equipped with everything one needs to prepare meals The surrounding areas are very picturesque and we had an excellent dinner at The Woodland in Lakeville where we have eaten a few times over the years and dies not disappoint. We also ate in Le Gamin fir lunch which was also very good and comparable to authentic Parisien fare We plan on returning next year as it keeps calling us back.
