We had a mixed age group and this was the ideal holiday place for us. Lots of activities onsite, from the pool to the toy room. Great inside and outside group eating options. Then everyone could retire to their separate sleeping quarters. Perfect! Diligent thoughtful owners. Would recommend.
This house was the perfect place for our super fun reunion. It has a couple of wings, so each group had their own space, some including their own little family room. In addition, the main family room is large and cozy with a great couch and a ping pong table which we thoroughly enjoyed.

About the host
Hosted by Cori
Family from Manhattan that spends weekends exploring Litchfield County with their two Bernedoodle puppies.
Why they chose this property
Cori spent her early childhood in Washington, CT, before her single mother, a local antique dealer, relocated the family to New Jersey to be closer to her parents. In the years that followed, Cori's mother would always say that leaving Washington was her biggest regret. Years later, Cori's boyfriend Dean proposed and surprised her with a weekend getaway to Washington, only to instantly fall in love with the area. After Cori's mother passed away a few years ago, the couple stumbled upon the listing for this beautiful getaway for their two children, just a mile down the street from the home Cori grew up in. Furnished with her mother's antiques, Professor Plumb serves as a family compound for, not only Cori and Dean's family, but their children's cousins, remaining grandparents, aunts, uncles and close friends to enjoy the beautiful outdoors and small-town charm while escaping the hustle and bustle of Manhattan.
What makes this property unique
This home is truly a home, and not operated as a business. Very few weekends are offered for rent, as the family enjoys spending time there with family and friends whenever possible. There is a warmth and coziness that is hard to replicate in a short term rental.
