About this property

BEST TOWN WASHINGTON PoshPadsCT "SOUTH ST" 2Hrs NYC, Mint, Pool, Ski, BBQ, Bike

Washington is the best country rural retreat within 2 hours of NYC - the best restaurants, shopping, land preserves, Lake Waramaug State Park & Beach, and nearby Mohawk Mountain Skiing. Mint renovated country cottage with oversized porch overlooking the heated gunite pool and large flat lawn with old growth trees and stonewalls. A minute to the Mayflower Inn & Spa, historic village Green and town center. 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, new stainless steel eat-in kitchen, porch seating and dining, terrace, gas bbq. Quiet walking neighborhood of older homes.
Washington is exceptional for its excellent restaurants, spas, antique shops, art galleries, boutiques, farms, historic homes, gardens, vineyards, distilleries, and orchards. The Gilmore Girls creator modelled Stars Hollow, the perfect Connecticut town, after Washington and the Independence Inn after the Mayflower Inn. It is the current or former home to many artists, writers, actors and Wall Street executives – referred to as "more Vermont, than Vermont" and "the un-Hamptons". Nature preserves, Lake Waramaug, and the Shepaug River offer extensive hiking, biking, and water activities. Mohawk and Sundown Ski Areas , Lime Rock Raceway, and Quassy Amusement Park are all a short drive.

About the host

Host profile image
My family (wife and 3 children) moved to our weekend home in beautiful Washington CT from NYC. I am a luxury boutique hotel developer, owner and operator in NYC and CT and restore and rent luxury small vacation homes in Washington and Roxbury.

Why they chose this property

This home is a minute from the Mayflower Inn and Spa on a quiet country street. It is a perfect 4-bedroom cottage with a heated pool. The mint renovation is Nantucket- Scandinavian in design with white washed floors, new kitchen, stainless steel appliances, luxury down feather bedding, comforters and pillows, Frette pressed cotton sheets, bathrobes and linens and central air conditioning.


Washington is located in historic, rural Litchfield County, within a scenic 2-hour drive from NYC and is exceptional for its excellent restaurants, spas, antique shops, art galleries, boutiques, farms, historic homes, gardens, vineyards, distilleries, and orchards. The Gilmore Girls creator modeled Stars Hollow, the perfect Connecticut town, after Washington and the Independence Inn after the Mayflower Inn. It is the current or former home to many artists, writers, actors and Wall Street executives – referred to as "more Vermont, than Vermont" and "the un-Hamptons". Nature preserves, Lake Waramaug, and the Shepaug River offer extensive hiking, biking, and water activities. Mohawk and Sundown Ski Areas , Lime Rock Raceway, and Quassy Amusement Park are all a short drive. ExploreWashingtonCT and PoshPadsCT have the best listings of area amenities and event calendars. (Note that VRBO-HomeAway's map needs to be zoomed to really show Washington and Roxbury listings only and not homes 30 minutes away in less desirable locations.)
All of my homes in Washington and Roxbury (PoshPadsCT) are beautifully landscaped with flowering shrubs, flagstone terraces with gas bbq. And heated pools. They are furnisged with Frette pressed cotton sheets, plush towels and bathrobes, down featherbeds, comforters and pillows. Optional maid and catering and massage services are available. All homes have Central heat and AC, WiFi, flat screen televisions with dvds, cable and movie channels, and central alarms.

What makes this property unique

Great bike riding area (2 bikes), walking neighborhood, near Washington's historic green, heated pool, swing, central air conditioning, perfect!
