We had a 3-night stay with our four children, ages 5 to 21. On the positive side, the furnishings in this home are modern and comfortable. There are many different places around the home to relax. The sun room was my favorite space and offered a cozy, bright spot to enjoy coffee in the morning. A property management company handles all aspects of the rental and communication with them was excellent leading up to our stay.
The title and of the VRBO listing includes the description that there is a “private sandy beach”. It is pictured in the photos. As of July 2024, there is no such beach. The entrance to the water is a three foot muddy decline into water that is riddled with lily pads and leaves. This is a pond, and while there may be 270 feet of water frontage, very little of it is accessible making it barely swimmable. I would question the description that it is “one of the cleanest bodies of water in the area”. The home faces west, however, while enjoying a sunset be prepared to look at and listen to cars and trucks on a major thoroughfare of Litchfield County. The yard and property grounds are in desperate need of maintenance.
We had several other hiccups during our stay that left us without use of the hot tub, one of the televisions, the propane fire pit, and the outdoor shower.
Our contact person has never been to the property and the photos were taken over a year ago. Beware that the photos and description do not match the property as it is today.
