Excellent property and excellent hosts.
This listing is a summer retreat for our family. Every year that we come the house it is in impeccable shape. The kitchen is so well stocked with top rate cutlery, dishes, pots and pans and all that goes with it. The linens are so lush and the towels as well. One feels like one is staying at a spa. Thank you to Tanya and Paul

Paradise in Washington, CT
As one turns into Nichols Hill Rd one is taken aback by the beauty of this property and it's perfectly manicured gardens.
Once inside one realizes that this is a special house with special owners. Every little detail has been thought of. There was butter, eggs and milk in the refrigerator waiting for us after a long day of traveling.
The entire house is equipped with the best quality items, the beds are soft with incredible linens.
The house was immaculate, newly painted and beautifully presented. We had plenty of room for our belongings which sometime is difficult to find in rental homes.
The house was devoid of many personal items which helped when our grandchildren came to visit and we didn't have to worry about breakage.
The back yard and deck were so inviting, we sat out back for many meals.
The house comes equipped with a full sauna (which we did not use ) and a gym (we didn't use this either) but its there as part of the rental.
We just enjoyed our summer relaxing and basically doing nothing which is what we wanted.
Thank you Tanya and Paul for sharing your home with us for 6 weeks!

Back to Paradise
This was our second stay in this property. The setting is spectacular, you feel like you are living in the woods.
The house is equipped with more than you will ever need.There are expensive linens and towels, a linen closet full of pillows and blankets, everything in the kitchen is top of the line. The kitchen is perfect for one who likes to cook.
The house is immaculate, everything shines. You can tell that the owners care a lot about their house and are willing to leave things that will make a guest very comfortable. The back yard area is so peaceful and it has a hot tub and an exercise cottage. The cottage has air conditioning, TV and a refrigerator. There are bicycles that the owners leave for your use.
You really just need to show up with your clothes and toiletries. The owners leave the house equipped with paper towels, dish washing liquid and everything you need in the laundry room. We are expert VRBO users and have been renting for 15 years.....Nothing compares to this property.
Basically, it's a haven you never want to leave.
We are already planning our third year of vacationing at Nichols Hill Rd.

Fabulous Stay at "A Haven in the Country"
My husband and I stayed at "Haven" for two months in the fall and we could not have made a better choice. The recently updated home is bright, in a very quiet area, and well appointed with high end, chic (contemporary meets antique meets CT country) furniture and intriguing art. The two living areas on the first floor have large relaxing sofas and TVs - perfect for movie night, watching sports, or just gathering with others in conversation. The expansive upstairs bedrooms have comfortable, cozy beds with high-quality linens and private ensuite bathrooms. The large eat-in kitchen is sunny and very well equipped for small intimate dining or for larger family gatherings. We cooked and celebrated Thanksgiving there with two other couples - space was never an issue. The kitchen connects to a back porch which is perfect for enjoying a glass of wine or spirits from one of the local wineries/distilleries. The upstairs south-facing study overlooking the backyard and woods is a real delight - warm and sunny and perfect for curling up on the daybed to read or nap. As a bonus, the home has a very nice dry sauna which we used on several occasions along with a steam shower, outdoor hot tub, and exercise equipment. The Litchfield County area is beautifully situated among rolling hills with stunning fall foliage to enjoy, nearby land preserves to explore, specialty and antique shops to browse, and fine restaurants to indulge. Tanya is an exceptional host! Check in/out was a breeze, and she provided detailed home instructions as well as resources/suggestions to help us navigate the area like locals. Thank you Tanya for sharing your fabulous "Haven" with us!

Sobre o anfitrião
Anfitrião: Tanya Pushkine
We are a Belgian/Dutch couple who have lived in NYC for over 20 years. Both of us have adult children from former marriages. We bought this magnificent house as a second home and have lovingly put a lot of work into making it a haven.
Por que o anfitrião escolheu essa propriedade
The house was bought in October 2019 and renovated with beautiful white oak floors, Dutch paint trim, art, and antiques. The open floor plan was created to enhance the incredible light pouring in from the garden. It is the ideal location for a couple or two couples who want the luxury of total relaxation in an idyllic, rural setting. The surrounding area is one scenic road after another with every activity one could want within minutes.
O que faz essa propriedade ser única?
The Spa Room features a professional steam shower and sauna. The room is large enough for at least 6 yoga mats. The hot tub off the deck complements the entire spa experience.
The office has a 16' long quartz desk with large windows overlooking the garden. A perfect way to work from home.
The garden house is equipped with gym equipment, large table/work station, WIFI and TV. Three bicycles (one a tandem) are included.
