About this property

Beautiful Colonial Home in a Peaceful Setting Bordering Natchaug State Forest

Beautiful Colonial home is nestled in a section surrounded by the Natchaug State Forest. It is close to Route 44, 101 & Interstate 395! The home has hardwood flooring throughout. With 7 rooms, 3 bedrooms (upper level) & 2 full baths and 1 half bath. The large modern kitchen opens to the dining and living rooms. The kitchen has granite counter tops and center island, a large over-sized refrigerator / freezer. A bonus room on the first floor off the kitchen could be used as an office, den or play room. Our home sleeps 6. The master suite has a walk in closet, master bath and double sinks. A second floor laundry, 2 car garage and pull down attic space. Full unfinished walk out basement. Large 5 acre lot bordering the Natchaug State Forest.

We are available for daily nights, weekly or monthly. (two days minimum)
We located in the northeastern corner of Connecticut, called the “Quiet Corner” of New England, in Pomfret, Connecticut close to Route 44, 101 & Interstates 84 & 395. We are nestled in the forest, far from the stress of daily life. In the area, you’ll find fresh fruit and vegetable stands, orchards, vineyards, historic towns, art galleries, antique markets and shops, lakes and streams, and several state parks. The state "Airline Trail" offers 50 miles of hiking, biking and horse riding trails. The Natchtaug State forest borders our property. The Mashamoquet State Park and the Audubon Sanctuary are 4 miles away. You can also drive a short distance to the Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun Casinos, Old Sturbridge Village and Mystic Seaport. It is also less than an hour's drive from Hartford, Providence and Worcester and only a 20 mile drive from the University of Connecticut at Storrs. Boston is 90 miles Northeast and New York City 150 miles Southwest. Enjoy long walks in the woods, cross-country skiing, fishing, or just for a place to get away from it all.
Our Home is only a few minutes to Pomfret and Rectory Schools, as well as the numerous scenic drives, destination restaurants, antique stores and boutiques in Windham County.

Amazing property, Lovely host
5 of us stayed here for a week while we were at an event nearby. The place is gorgeous, huge, impecably clean, and for our purposes very convenient. We particularly appreciated the nice touches of a bottle of wine and some snacks, and the large and very functional washing machine/dryer setup, We’re immediately trying to rebook for a trip next year!. We met the host once during our stay and they delightfully gave us a tour and he made sure everything was going well. Lovely to have a VRBO experience so friendly.

Incredible gem in the woods!
This was my second time staying at this extraordinary property. The spacious home and grounds are impeccable and well-appointed (we particularly appreciated the well-stocked kitchen and huge backyard), and it’s minutes away from great hiking trails (we found the wolf’s den!) and a distillery that was an experience in itself. Can’t recommend this place enough.

Excellent getaway
This property is a great getaway from a busy schedule. My family and I only went a few days for my sister’s wedding nearby, but we fell in love with the property. It is a little far from supermarkets/gas stations but it wasn’t a problem to us. It rather added to its beauty, since you can actually relax without hearing noises from traffic. The house is clean and completely equipped with anything you could need and the host is readily available in case you have doubts or need help. We would definitely choose this property again whenever we visit Connecticut.

We came up to this property because we had a work project a few towns over. The house had everything that we needed to stay comfortably. It was very roomy and clean. The owner Mario was excellent with communication and flexible with us! We would stay here again if we have any more projects in the area.
