Snow is coming! Ski at Mohawk - 4br Charming Farmhouse Getaway Minutes to Mtn

A foot of snow coming this week!

Step Back in Time at Our Rustic 4BR/2.5BA Farmhouse Getaway

Looking for a peaceful escape into the countryside? Our spacious, well-loved 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath farmhouse offers an authentic rural retreat just steps from the Housatonic River and the historic West Cornwall Covered Bridge. This is not a modern hotel — it’s a 140-year-old farmhouse with all the charm that comes with it.

Perfect for those who appreciate character and country living, the home sleeps up to 8 guests and offers a unique mix of old-fashioned coziness and natural beauty.

Please note: This is a historic home in a country setting — there may be bugs, wildlife nearby, and limited water pressure when multiple fixtures are in use (we’re on a well). If you're looking for sleek and polished, this might not be the place for you.

The House:
This home has large windows that bring in natural light, and multiple places to gather — including a front porch perfect for morning coffee, and a backyard with space for lawn games.

Expect older fixtures, and a little “country character.” This isn’t a luxury retreat, but something much rarer: a true farmhouse experience.

Main Kitchen (1st Floor): Fully stocked for cooking

Second Kitchen (2nd Floor): Functional but sparsely stocked, great light for stretching or yoga

1 Full (1st Floor)

1 Queen + 1 Full (2nd Floor)

1 King with Ensuite (3rd Floor Master)

Optional: 2 twin mattresses in lounge for extra sleeping space

Bathrooms:

Ensuite with King Bedroom (3rd Floor)

Full bath off kitchen (1st Floor)

Half bath upstairs (2nd Floor)

About the Water:
We are on a private well system — there's plenty of hot water, but if you shower while someone’s doing laundry or dishes, the pressure may drop. Please plan accordingly.

Yes, you may hear creaks and the occasional critter — it’s the country!

Not updated or modern — it’s rustic and simple.

No smoking or vaping anywhere on the property

Small dogs under 35 lbs allowed with prior approval and strict rules
