What a wonderful place to be for 10 days. The house is charming, nicely decorated, fully equipped. The steep staircase and unlevel, creaky floors are just testament to its almost 150-year age. But the beds are comfortable and the two full bathrooms were all we needed for 6 adults and a 4-year-old. Sharyn, the host, is helpful and responsive, and she had provided everything we needed in the kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry in the cellar. The back deck is perfect for a glass of wine with friends in the evening.But it is the location that made us so happy to be there. On a short, dead-end lane off a quiet street in one of the prettiest and most historic towns in New England. It is so quiet and private, yet only a short, pleasant walk to restaurants. museums, shops in the center of Litchfield. It was perfect for our stay.
