House Rules
Additional: ARRIVAL
Check-in is at 4pm unless otherwise agreed to in writing.
DEPARTURE
Check-out is by 11am unless otherwise stated in writing. The cleaner will be arriving shortly after to begin preparing for the next renters.
AGE REQUIREMENT
Primary guest booking must be 25 years or older. The person booking should also not have any negative reviews.
PETS
Well-behaved dogs are allowed with prior approval (and $75 fee per pet, per stay). Please clean up after your pet both inside and outside the house. Sorry, cats are not permitted. Failure to disclose any pets in advance may result in additional fees or penalties.
SMOKING
No smoking is permitted inside the house. If you must smoke, please do so outside and dispose of butts properly. Any violation of this policy is subject to a $500 fee.
EXCESSIVE CLEANING FEES
We kindly ask that guests treat the home with care and respect. Should the property require cleaning beyond the standard turnover—due to excessive mess or incidents involving bodily fluids such as blood, vomit, or waste—a $500 fee may apply. Any linens or furnishings damaged beyond repair will also be subject to replacement charges. These situations are considered outside the scope of routine housekeeping and require specialized attention to ensure the safety and well-being of our team.
ACCURATE GUEST COUNT
The number of guests must be accurately disclosed at the time of booking. While we don’t charge extra for additional guests up to the home’s maximum occupancy, this information is essential so we can properly prepare and stock the home. Please note that penalties may apply if guest counts are inaccurate or intentionally misrepresented.
SEPTIC
Please be mindful of the septic system and do not flush anything down the toilets or drains other than toilet paper. This includes any and all personal hygiene products, baby wipes, bleaches and strong chemical cleaners.
BUGS
To avoid unwanted bugs and critters, please do not leave food out or doors open. As well, lyme, a tick-born disease, is a concern in the Hudson Valley and Catskills regions. Please be mindful by wearing long pants and sleeves while hiking or playing outdoors, and remember to check yourself, kids, and pets daily for ticks.
WINTER WEATHER:
In the winter, we recommend a car with four-wheel drive that can handle the snow and slippery roads. While we have someone that plows and salts the roads, weather in the area can be unpredictable so please check and plan accordingly.

The Home
Mohawk Mountain Retreat is set amidst the picturesque New England tableaux of Litchfield County, Connecticut, and has the outdoor pursuits of the foothills of the Berkshire Mountains on its doorstep. Elegantly-designed and spacious, the home presents a classic pitched roof, dormer windows, exposed beams, and a striking red brick chimney.
Enter through the front door into a cozy sitting room with a gas fireplace which leads into an open concept kitchen, dining and living area with a TV and wood burning fireplace. Head to the large sunroom (our favorite space in the house) or grab a book or a cup of coffee into the lounge and start your day appreciating the serene garden views.
One guest bedroom is located on the main floor with a queen size bed looking out through the floor-to-ceiling bay windows with a view of the front garden. Another guest bedroom is located above the garage offering a king size bed and ensuite bathroom with a tub/shower combo.
Upstairs, there are three bedrooms including the master bedroom which offers a king size bed, TV, ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower and views out to the gazebo and pond. One guest bedroom has two twin beds that can be converted into a king while the other offers a double bed. A shared bathroom with a clawfoot tub & shower combo is conveniently located on the landing between the 1st and 2nd floors.
The grounds feature delightful stone walls, perennial plantings, a children’s play area, a fire pit and include a sweeping bluestone patio with comfy seating, an umbrella for shade, grill and dining table making this the perfect place for al fresco meals or evening get togethers. Gather in the gazebo for some additional shade on a hot day, or take quiet time to sit by the ornamental pond.
Mohawk Mountain Retreat is a dynamite year-round destination - an ideal spot for families or groups seeking a peaceful countryside escape with plenty of space to relax and entertain.
