we were very pleased w/ our stay - the inside of the home was clean and up to date, the property is beautiful w/ a very charming pool area. working w/ the host was very easy - no issues to speak of. thank you
The host was more than helpful with his properties. Very communicative with all the staff we were putting up for the week. This and his two other properties we rented for our stay were in top shape and easy to get in and get comfortable.
We had a very pleasant stay and will be sure to visit the area again for the charming towns, shops, and scenery. The house was very comfortable for a casual week away. My only negatives were there was a funky odor in the upstairs twin bed where the washer and dryer is, and the TP and PT supply was sub-par. Otherwise, it was lovely - plenty of firewood and the ping pong table was a blast. Beautiful walking area.

Response from VrboOwner on 18 Jan, 2021
Thank you for staying! I will check and clean fully the washer dryer spare bedroom for the laundry smell you encountered. Sorry on the paper towel and toilet paper supplies - we actually only furnish a starting supply of all disposables - a few rolls of paper towels and a couple rolls of toilet paper per bathroom at all of our homes. But glad you enjoyed the fire and ping pong and farm neighborhood! Hope that you will return again! Steve
About the host
Hosted by Stephen Brighenti
We live in beatiful Washington CT and I have restored, own and manage 20 luxury furnished country homes in Washington, Roxbury and Warren. I also managed many boutique NYC hotels and Classic Hotels of CT. We love Litchfield County's extraordinary lifestyle.
Why they chose this property
This private farm neighborhood is along the Shepaug River and close to the land preserve entrance for hikes along the Shepaug and through to the historic railroad tunnel.
What makes this property unique
Welcome to PoshPadsCT,com, our collection of pristine renovated country rental homes located in historic, rural Litchfield County, within a scenic 2-hour drive from NYC. Washington is exceptional for its excellent restaurants, spas, antique shops, art galleries, boutiques, farms, historic homes, gardens, vineyards, distilleries, and orchards. The Gilmore Girls creator modelled 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.
Each home was acquired for its architectural interest and private country setting in Washington's or Roxbury's most scenic neighborhoods. All are beautifully landscaped with flowering trees and shrubs, flagstone terraces with gas barbeques, and new in-ground gunite pools. Each has been exquisitely re-designed and furnished with art and antiques, elegant bedrooms and new luxury bathrooms, and chef's kitchens with new stainless steel appliances. Relax and refresh with Frette pressed cotton sheets, plush towels and bathrobes, Bigelow bath amenities, down featherbeds, comforters and pillows. Maid, catering, private chef and massage services are optional. Enjoy central heat and air conditioning, WiFi, flat screen televisions with dvds, cable and movie channels, central sound systems, central vacuums, and central alarms.
