About this house rental
My clean and sanitized home is available for longer stays. Please contact me for more details. My home has all the amenities for your perfect family/friends getaway. It's one that you'll want to return to and stay longer. This antique and sculpture filled, light-splashed two story 4 bedroom / 2.5 bath home on Connecticut's Antique Trail has big indoor and outdoor lounging areas on a beautifully landscaped one acre garden setting just three minutes from Woodbury's town center - "Connecticut's Most Charming Small Town!"
This historic district home has been enlarged and updated. It has been properly prepared for you, with a minimum two day interval between guests. Its been thoroughly cleaned and disinfected following guidelines based on recommendations from the CDC.
Comfortably sleeping a maximum of eight guests, this rambling 2,800 sq. ft home was a former bed and breakfast property and has upped the level of care and comfort for a perfect friends or family getaway.
The ground floor includes: a big, airy Eat-in Kitchen with a Skylight (the full moon's light is my favorite); a large Dining area with seating for 8 persons with patio doors leading to the large three season porch at far end, more patio doors to the covered porch at the near end, and a cozy lounging area in a large bay windowed alcove overlooking the garden (It's hard to Twitter with all of the bird feeder activity goings on just outside the windows); a lounging Living Room with a second set of patio doors to the three season porch; a cheery half bathroom is near the front entrance; a ground floor Bedroom with a queen sized bed, patio doors to the private rear garden, a large walk-in closet, and an en-suite bathroom with a double sink and walk-in shower; and, a large capacity washer and dryer in the pantry off the kitchen.
The three bedrooms upstairs all have noise blocking window attachments, black out roman shades and red oak floors. The beds are super comfortable. The cotton linens, comforters and pillows are all soft and clean, laundered with free and clear detergent. There's a large bedroom with two twin bed,s Danish modern cabinetry and Japanese artworks. The twins may be converted into a king bed upon prior request. The other two bedrooms have queen sized beds. The upstairs bathroom is sunny and roomy with good lights and mirrors.
The Sky Light in the kitchen area makes getting up in the morning a good thing with fresh brewed coffee and the opened patio doors to the herb garden. Alternative eating spots include outside under the covered porch where you may have a leisurely enjoyed brunch party at the table that seats six or the adjoining three season room where inside the perfect afternoon light filled venue is ready for hosting afternoon drinks or evening cocktails as the setting sun may be dappled by the big daddy sugar maple outside.
Your Host lives in the attached garage/ air hangar which is a working artist's live/work studio with its own and separate road access, private entrance and parking.
The home has excellent high speed 303 Mbp WIFI internet accessible throughout the house. (It's Netgear's ORBI RBK50 Tri-band Whole Home Mesh WIFI System.) There is no cable service; but there are two Roku smart TVs to sign into your favorite streaming accounts.
The home has new energy rated, noise reducing Andersen windows and noise reducing attachments on the upstairs bedroom windows.
The home has central air conditioning.
There is a absolutely no smoking/vaping of any kind inside the home.
This home is one that you'll want to come back to often as some do.

We were 3 generations in town for a family wedding. Beautiful grounds and lots of common places to hang out before and after events. Doug couldn’t have been more responsive and helpful.
5.0 / 5.0
Doug's property was absolutely beautiful, both inside and out. The location of the property is right near the town center, so shopping options were conveniently located. This property perfectly accommodated our party of 6 adults, a teenager, and a toddler. Doug was excellent with communication and was very accommodating to our needs. We will definitely consider this property again if we come to this area.

We enjoyed our stay last summer so much that we came back again this year. The house is beautifully decorated, spacious, immaculately maintained, and well stocked. The host is very responsive but maintains privacy. I'm sure we will be back again!

Douglas is a fantastic host who is attentive, responsive, and went above and beyond with friendly hospitality. We rented for a weekend family bday celebration and had a lovely time grilling, playing board games, antiquing and relaxing. The home is comfortable and spacious for 8 people. Douglas has a wonderful collection of artwork as well. We hope to stay again in the future!

We had a wonderful time. Everything was “just so” - a gorgeous garden landscape and well appointed home with many thoughtful touches. The place is immaculate. It’s like staying at an 5 star inn , only better!
Our groups loves to cook, so we enjoyed the cook’s dream kitchen.
If you don’t cook, Woodbury is full of good restaurants at all price points.
Enjoy!

The house is immaculate, spacious and furnished and decorated with care and attention to detail. It is well appointed with anything you could need making it the perfect welcoming setting for a relaxing vacation. The huge kitchen island and the screened in sunroom were our favorite places to hang out - modern, light and with views of the gorgeous garden. Douglas was an extremely gracious and helpful host. We will definitely be back!

This home was beautiful inside and out. Each room was carefully curated with lovely furnishings and artwork. The gardens in the back made you want to spend all of your time outdoors. It is a house that is clearly loved.

This was our 2nd time staying at this lovely property. It is the perfect place for us 4 gals! The kitchen is perfection and the linens are fabulous. Close to everything too! Our host could not have been more accommodating and generous. We hope to have our reunion there again next year 👍🏼

It's a great vacation when the lodging actually adds to the experience, instead of just being a place to sleep at night. This house was in perfect condition and in a great location for anyone visiting Woodbury or Southbury. The house is filled with great art and interesting furniture and may be the cleanest house I've ever stayed in. We plan to be back in the future!

Wonderful Woodbury
This home is absolutely wonderful and is beautifully and functionally appointed, and immaculate. We had a great stay. Well stocked kitchen, beds extremely comfortable. Grounds are beautiful and interesting. At check-in, Douglas took us on a brief tour and was quickly responsive to any questions. Lots of great restaurants, shops and open country (but you don't need to leave the house if you just want to hang out). We were sorry to leave and we want to come back!

We were so thrilled with this Woodbury home. It is all it promised and more. The beds were beyond comfortable the kitchen was beyond well stocked.

Home away from home.
This property has been the very best property I have ever stayed at using VRBO. It was large and spacious, spotlessly clean, and it was beautifully decorated. The kitchen was stocked with everything imaginable. The local area is as pretty as a postcard too. Plenty of lovely restaurants and antique shops to explore. Many in our party took a day long hike nearby too. When we visit family in CT again, this is where you will find us.

Relaxing Stay, Comfortable Home with Luxe Amenities
What a lovely time we had in this warm, comfortable and tasteful Connecticut retreat. The art, furnishings and interesting sculptures placed throughout the home were a wonderful bonus. I almost called it a farmhouse, however with the modern amenities such as large walk in showers, viking stove and the bright airy atmosphere, this is really a luxury stay. The house was immaculate, the mattresses and beddings were new and of high quality. The owner is attentive and available but also mindful of your privacy. Also very close to antique shopping, persian rugs, home decor and restaurants. This house is gem.

Mini Getaway Paradise
We wish we could have stayed longer. Douglas our host was very nice and readily available for anything we needed. His house was beautiful and the beds were comfortable. The shower in the downstairs bathroom was a wonderful retreat after a long flight from Seatac to Bradley Airport. The leather chair in the sitting room was my favorite. There are several unique touches throughout the house that give it character. We would stay with Douglas again.

Doesn't get better than this!
What a great weekend! Douglas was such a great host! The house was beautiful, comfortable, had all the amenities and was the perfect place for a girl's weekend get away! Great location, close to many shops and restaurants. Quaint little town. And there are walking trails through the woods just a bit up the street from the house. The pictures of the property are true to life! We spent time in each room with our favorite spot being the cozy alcove opposite the dining room table. There were 5 of us. We pulled up additional chairs to enjoy the sun shining through the windows,sharing conversation be it over morning coffee or afternoon happy hour. A couple of the girls brought their own pillows, but ended up using the ones on the beds because they were great pillows!! Beds very comfortable! Again, love, Love,loved it! Can't wait to go back!
Thank you so much Douglas! It was so nice chatting with you and getting to know a little bit about you, the house and the area!!

Paradise
Douglas’ home is absolutely magnificent! I had a wonderful and completely relaxing stay and Douglas could not have been more accommodating. He has taken a great deal of thought, care and pride into making his guests feel as comfortable and welcome as possible. The house was spotless and everything you could possibly need has been provided. I’ve already put in a request for a repeat stay next year!

Artistic paradise in historic New England
This home was everything you would want it to be in a VRBO rental. It was a perfectly restored New England home, yet full of modern features and perfect warmth and comfort. The home serves as an artist’s gallery so you are surrounded by beautiful pieces of artwork and impeccable interior design. The home is functionally ideal with a very spacious working kitchen and connected living areas for wonderful entertaining. The rooms are large and well appointed and the bathrooms are excellent. The home is perfectly situated in the historic main street of Woodberry close to many antique shops, restaurants and natural and historical activities. Overall an outstanding property that I highly recommend to anyone visiting Woodbury area.

Perfect spot for a CT getaway
Douglas’ home was comfortable, exceptionally clean, well-stocked, and offered a one-of-a-kind immersive experience in the art world, too! My husband and I stayed in the home with our two young boys (7 and 2) in the days leading up to Thanksgiving. We had plenty of room, and the house was better supplied than our actual house back home! The bedrooms were spacious and immaculate, and the beds were a dream - the mattresses, pillows, and covers felt like they came from a luxury hotel.
Our kids loves having an expansive backyard to explore, and my husband and I enjoyed drinking coffee while looking out onto the serene back garden as they played. We were all fascinated by the artwork on display throughout the house. Moreover, Douglas was the consummate host. He communicated repeatedly prior to our arrival, made check-in incredibly easy, and greeted us warmly upon our arrival and showed us around. He also graciously left us some edible treats to enjoy - something we very much appreciated after a long travel day! Douglas checked in with us throughout our visit, and was readily available to answer questions about the house or the areas of the state we planned to visit. He could not have been a more inviting host.
As for the area, we found plenty of activities for the kids, as well as good restaurants, bookstores, and museums that gave us a better understanding of the area.
In sum, we feel so fortunate to have found this home to rent, and are very grateful to Douglas for his warm hospitality and welcoming home.

Vacationing in an Art Museum
Upon arriving at the house in Woodbury my family was struck by all the amazing artwork both on the walls and in sculpture form. The owner came over and gave us a wonderful tour, and shared some of his work with us. The house was beautiful and had large rooms and excellent lighting. The beds in each room should be mentioned, they were wonderful. Between the pillows, sheets and great mattresses, sleeping was a dream. Each morning we had coffee and enjoyed watching birds and other wildlife in the flower garden. The weather was nice and we also spent time on both outdoor porches daily. The kitchen boasted a skylight and a chef's stove, that was big enough to prepare family meals. We also enjoyed using the grill outside near the garden most evenings. The grounds were as beautiful as the house itself, and our family had a great vacation.

Great summer rental
My family and I stayed at this property for a week in July for a family reunion. We were there during a heat wave and the air conditioning worked great! Overall the house was very clean and the pictures were accurate. Upgraded kitchen and bathrooms were very nice. The garden in the back is beautiful and we enjoyed drinking our morning coffee and watching the animals coming to the bird feeders. There are some good restaurants about a mile up the road and a large grocery store 3 miles away for essentials. I would definitely recommend the property to other travelers.

Comfortable and relaxing home
Our family of four (grandma, mom, and two children under 10) stayed at Douglas's home for a week in June 2019. We had a wonderful experience. When we arrived after a long drive Douglas greeted us warmly and graciously showed us around. His home is comfortable, relaxing, and inviting. There are many comfortable places to sit and the beds and linens were high quality. The Roman shades in the bedroom did a good job of blocking both light and sound from the road, and the artwork throughout the home adds a special touch and was a pleasure to view during our stay.
We especially enjoyed spending time on the three-season porch and outside in the lovely yard and gardens. It was so peaceful sitting at the kitchen island eating breakfast and watching the birds and other wildlife in the back garden. The artwork extends to the outdoor space, and while it takes up a good portion of the side yard, there was still plenty of the space for the kids to run and play.
The location of the home was ideal as it provided easy access to surrounding areas including Woodbury, Middlebury, Southbury, and Watertown. A sidewalk that extends for 2.5 miles through downtown Woodbury is just a short walk from the home, as are a number of restaurants and shops. We found the pricing of the home to be more than fair given its condition, amenities, and location.
To top it off, Douglas was kind enough to offer our family an Ikebana floral designing session as a special gift toward the end of our stay. We all greatly enjoyed learning about this relaxing and intriguing art form and getting a chance to experiment with it ourselves.
We are grateful to Douglas for his hospitality and highly recommend this property! Thank you Douglas!

Weekend getaway
A couple of friends and I stayed 2 short days at Douglas' place for IMConnecticut 70.3. We would have loved to stay in this beautiful house longer. It made the weekend relaxing. From the beautiful garden in the back to the amazing outdoor porch. Douglas had the place spotless and was very attentive if there were any questions. We highly recommend his place.
