YOUR LITTLE SLICE OF HEAVEN...SWIM, KAYAK, FISH, PICNIC, or just lie by the beautiful shore - Our waterfront retreat is on Connecticut's 76-acre Park Pond in the foothills of the Berkshires, offering four seasons of scenery and outdoor activities. Swim, fish and boat in the spring and summer, leaf-peep, nature and bird watch in the fall, snow shoe, ski, skate and ice fish when the pond freezes hard in January. Hawks and eagles nest in the trees and turtles and beavers can be seen in the coves.
The great room offers a stunning view of the water. Sliding glass doors lead to a large deck with dining area and barbeque grill. The lawn below ends at our small beach and dock.
In addition to the great room on the first floor there is 1 bedroom with a queen bed, a lovely new bathroom with tub/shower, and an eat-in kitchen. The second floor has two more bedrooms one with twin beds and a water view and one with a daybed and mountain view. There is a brand-new bathroom with generous sized-shower on the second floor. Good airflow and ceiling fans in every bedroom maintain a comfortable temperature throughout the house. There is no air conditioning.
Our guests are encouraged to go "green" by being conservative in the use of water and soap. For this reason, the property is not appropriate for large parties. There is no dish or clothes washer. There is no television reception or cable, but you can watch DVDs on the color TVs in living room and downstairs bedroom. A telephone is available for local, emergency and calling card calls.
Children are always welcome but their adults must understand that this property is on the water. Children must be watched at all times. We cannot accommodate pets or smokers.
This is a rural area. There are a few other homes and two summer camps on the pond. Four state forests are nearby and every drive is a scenic one. In winter, the pond is used for cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, snow shoeing and ice fishing. Downhill skiing is 15 minutes driving distance from the house.
The town of Winsted three miles away offers many activities including antique and curio shops, festivals and community events, restaurants, wineries, go carts, batting cages, a free-public skate park, a multiplex movie theatre for everyone, and a dinner movie theater for the 16 and older crowd. |
