Best Ski Cottage, Restaurants, Shops 2 FPs, 2 Hrs NYC to WASHINGTON! PoshPadsCT
If you are searching for the perfect country setting within an easy drive to wonderful local restaurants, spas, shopping, antiquing, skiing, water activities, hiking, historic homes and museums, then Country Cottage is for you. Wonderful family activities such as apple picking, farm stands, country fairs are also only minutes away. Relax on the deck or pool side or enjoy an outdoor barbeque dinner of fresh local produce, meat and fish. The cottage is wonderful for sitting back and relaxing while enjoying a book by the fire with a glass of wine or for family activities of games and puzzles. The home features a country eat-in kitchen, living room with fireplace, dining room with fire place and three bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms. The yard is fully fenced in if you have a pet.
Flat screen tvs, wifi, central heat and air conditioning, down feather beds, comforters and pillows, Frette cotton sheets and bathrobes are just a few of the luxury amenities you will enjoy.
The location is on a scenic dirt road - a great walking, running and biking neighborhood in the town of Washington in historic, rural Litchfield County. The home is within a few miles of the Relais and Chateau Mayflower Inn and Spa and Winvian Inn and Spa - perfect for enjoying the best fine dining in New England and the Gunnery Prep School and Washington's historic green. In addition to numerous other popular restaurants, close by are antique shops, wonderful boutiques, art galleries, farm stands, golfing, hiking, fly fishing, canoeing/kayaking/tubing, Mohawk Mountain Ski Area and Lake Waramaug.
Within an hour are the cultural centers of Lenox MA, Hartford CT and New Haven (Yale).
Washington and Roxbury are an easy low traffic 1 3/4 hour drive from NYC or Boston.
Maid service ($25/hour), catering, baby sitting are available for an additional charge.
Pets are welcome.

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. The town's website ExploreWashingtonCT and WashingtonCT have the best listings of area amenities and event calendars. (Note that VRBO-HomeAway's map needs to be zoomed to really show Washington and Roxbury listings only and not homes 30 minutes away in less desirable locations.)
All of my PoshPadsCT homes in Washington and Roxbury are beautifully landscaped with flowering shrubs, flagstone terraces with gas bbq. And heated pools. They are furnisged with Frette pressed cotton sheets, plush towels and bathrobes, down featherbeds, comforters and pillows. Optional maid and catering and massage services are available. All homes have Central heat and AC, WiFi, flat screen televisions with dvds, cable and movie channels, and central alarms.
A car is necessary to enjoy rural Roxbury, Washington and Litchfield County.
The nearest bus station is Southbury, 15 minutes away.
The nearest train stations are in Amenia and Wingdale NY or Danbury or New Haven CT – all about 45 minutes away.
