What Our Guests Are Saying About Their Stay in Connecticut
“Beautiful home with plenty of space to spread out. My whole family stayed here for just under a week, and we had a wonderful experience. The property is peaceful and filled with natural light. We also loved the wood stove.
“Yes, this place looks exactly like the pictures, and it truly is that stunning Connecticut getaway with a picture-perfect lawn view and a sleek, modern pool. What the photos don’t show you is how it feels: like you’re staying at your impossibly chic friend’s house while they’re away traveling (probably in Paris for Fashion Week and staying at Costes).”
“We spent Thanksgiving weekend at this Cornwall home and absolutely loved it. The kitchen was equipped beyond our expectations, and there were plenty of extra linens and pillows in the closets. The whole place was so cozy, we felt right at home all weekend. Highly recommend! We would love to be back.”
“Gorgeous property. Wonderful peaceful location with plenty of hiking and natural beauty. I would love to go back.”
“An absolutely wonderful stay. The house was beautiful, well equipped and very conveniently located close to Mohawk Mountain! We would love to return again soon!”
Explore Connecticut
Connecticut is perfect for a quick escape that feels like a real reset. From small towns and scenic drives to hiking, museums, and cozy spots to eat and drink, it’s easy to build a weekend that matches your pace. Whether you want to stay active or take it slow, you’ll find plenty of ways to make the trip feel easy.
For a quick escape in the Litchfield Hills, start at Lake Wononscopomuc, stop by Kent Falls for an easy waterfall visit, and add a golden hour loop around Lake Waramaug if you have time.
For a simple culture day, choose one: The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum in Ridgefield for modern exhibits, Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven for a top museum stop, or the Florence Griswold Museum in Old Lyme for art history in a scenic setting.
Keep it light and wander. Lakeville and Salisbury are great for antiques and small town charm, Kent is perfect for a walkable Main Street, and Redding or Ridgefield make an easy Fairfield County day for browsing and lunch.
For flexible trails with river views, go to Steep Rock Preserve in Washington. For the quickest big scenery, choose Kent Falls. In Fairfield County, Collis P. Huntington State Park is a calm option for wooded trails.
Pick one or two stops and keep it relaxed: Hopkins Vineyard on Lake Waramaug for wine with a view, Sunset Meadow Vineyards in Goshen for a polished afternoon, Kent Falls Brewing Company for a casual beer stop, or Litchfield Distillery for a local tasting.
For skiing and riding, base your day at Mohawk Mountain, then keep the rest simple with a coffee stop, a scenic drive, and an early cozy night back at a beautiful Red Cottage home.
For a truly special night out, book Arethusa al tavolo in Bantam for an elevated experience that feels celebration-worthy. In Kent, The Fife ’n Drum is an enduring icon when you want a lively, traditional evening. For a polished dinner in the Litchfield Hills, try West Street Grill. And for a more relaxed but still destination worthy meal, add Kingsley Tavern in Kent.
