Quiet Historic Retreat
Tucked against a hillside, on a quiet street you will find a home to rest and recharge in. Nestled between the quaint towns of New Milford and Kent, we are in the heart of antique shopping, such as the famous Elephants Trunk flea market and delicious restaurants such as the Old Oak Tavern that is within walking distance.
Although not visible from the house, the sounds of the Housatonic River can be be heard from the front covered porch and you can find fishing spots by simply driving down the scenic dirt road or one of the local hiking spots.
The home is also conveniently located 30 minutes from both Mohawk and Thunder Ridge Ski Mountains and numerous trails for snowshoeing and cross country skiing.
Inside you will find a well appointed home with cozy nooks and space to spread out despite its smaller size. A large kitchen with island seating and plenty of storage is a pleasure to cook in. A designated dining table comfortably sits 4-6 with extra chairs available if needed. Although the downstairs fireplace is not functional at this time, there is a large soaking tub for relaxing. The living spaces and primary bedrooms are heated and cooled by a split system and the spare bedrooms by fans and space heaters as needed.
This home has four sleeping spaces and two full baths. The four bedrooms upstairs include two queen bedrooms and two singles, one which is currently set up as an office with a day bed but could certainly be used as a bedroom. A pack n play can be provided upon request but please bring your own bedding. The upstairs bathroom includes a large soaking tub for relaxing.

This charming house was very clean and cozy. It was a great place to spend a few nights and is conveniently located not far from New Milford. The host was very welcoming and helpful!
The house was comfortable. It is a unique historical architecture with modern upgrades in kitchen and bath.It is not handicapped accessible. The pictures are accurate.
We needed extra sleeping space for family over the holidays. The charming old tavern and added bedroom , baths provided a comfortable retreat and the extra space we needed for visiting family. This was nearby and most accommodating for the extended family. Would definitely stay here on another visit.
We loved it because it was historic with modern amenities. The front entrance was definitely not ADA compliant, but you could enter through the back. The inside was cozy and the gas fireplace was wonderful. If you love historic places, this is for you! We wish there was more documentation about house and it’s 254 year lifetime. We would absolutely go back.
I loved staying at this house. It dates back to 1772 and you can just feel the history. It’s also very comfortable and the air conditioning works great. The kitchen is modern. It’s in town and very convenient. Great views of the Housatonic River.
a cozy retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city
for a family of 5, this property provided amplecomfort and respite amidst jam-packed days of hiking, swimming, sight-seeing, etc.! the kitchen was the much valued heart of household activity and we highly appreciated the variety of appliances provided to offer us the most fulfilling of meal experiences. the house was also very well air conditioned, which was lovely after a long day out in the summer sun.
The kitchen was well stocked for us to prepare meals while vacationing. The road is lovely for a morning walk. I wouldn't walk it in the dark only because there are a lot of curves and visibility could be an issue. The host is responsive and works hard to get things right. The space is comfortable. Go into it knowing that it is an old house that is being slowly remodeled. Bits of the original dwelling are in place which adds to its charm. It is rustic but very comfortable.
