Washington is located in historic, rural Litchfield County, within a scenic 2-hour drive from NYC and is exceptional for its excellent restaurants, spas, antique shops, art galleries, boutiques, farms, historic homes, gardens, vineyards, distilleries, and orchards. The Gilmore Girls creator modeled Stars Hollow, the perfect Connecticut town, after Washington and the Independence Inn after the Mayflower Inn. It is the current or former home to many artists, writers, actors and Wall Street executives – referred to as "more Vermont, than Vermont" and "the un-Hamptons". Nature preserves, Lake Waramaug, and the Shepaug River offer extensive hiking, biking, and water activities. Mohawk and Sundown Ski Areas , Lime Rock Raceway, and Quassy Amusement Park are all a short drive. ExploreWashingtonCT and PoshPadsCT have the best listings of area amenities and event calendars.

Summary: We were a family of 14 with 8 adults and kids from 8-17 years old. Our VRBO that we had booked for New Year’s Eve canceled on us the night before we were going to check in. While this was incredibly unfortunate, Steve and his beautiful home came to the rescue last minute. Steve was so incredibly responsive and accommodating. He responded within minutes of requesting this property and ensured that the home was ready for our large family under incredibly short notice (6 hours to be exact). Upon arrival we were blown away. This home is modern country, beautifully decorated and unbelievably spacious. Each living space had its own charm and offered room for people with many different tastes and interests to enjoy. The property is stunning. We were there in December/january, and there was so much nature to explore and beauty to soak in. The pool house is a great escape for a family or two with little ones, or group members who just want a little more privacy. Far enough away from the main house, but close enough to be able to join in the fun. Conveniently located only 9 minute drive from grocery store and cafes. Hiking, rivers, lakes, all within 5-10 minutes away. Cannot say enough good things about this home and Steve.if you’re looking for an extremely private retreat in the quintessential Connecticut countryside, this is the place. Thank you so much Steve!!!
