About this property

Litchfield Hills Lakefront Home! Amazing location, views and sunsets

YellowBird is our renovated home welcoming guests with vacation vibes on private, friendly Woodridge Lake, just minutes from Litchfield County’s most charming small towns and ski resorts. Only 2 hours from NYC, 2.5 hours from Boston and 10 min from Litchfield village green.

Savor gorgeous views and privacy with 150 ft of DIRECT LAKEFRONT with western exposures where you’ll get long afternoons followed by perfect sunset views over the water. You'll discover the lake is exceptionally well-cared for and has a great energy but without the crowds since there is no public boat launch and no jet skis allowed.

There's so much to do within minutes! You can explore Litchfield County's state parks, hiking trails, farms, fall foliage, covered bridges, vineyards, antiquing, golf, great restaurants, cultural festivities, plus skiing and snow tubing (Mohawk Mountain 10 min, Ski Sundown 20 min, and Butternut 45 min).

Wonderful weekend getaway

My friends and I enjoyed an amazing long weekend at Yellowbird. The property has serene views of the lake, privacy, and an excellent vibe for getting away with friends. The property was very clean, well organized, and well suited for long and short term stays! My friends and I could not have been more pleased about staying here, and look forward to booking this venue in the future.

This was one of the nicest houses I have ever stayed in. It was just beautiful and comfortable. Everything was super clean, the beds were really comfortable and the view is spectacular. I would totally recommend this house to anyone looking to get away. I wish we could’ve stayed longer. Hosts are lovely and left us chocolates and wine. I’ve already sent this house to friends of ours to book for a getaway..

Amazing hospitality!

The homeowner was so gracious to extend our stay for an additional day due to a change in our plans. This was tremendously helpful. The lakehouse is perfect, very clean, and had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. Thank you!

Yellow Bird Stay

The house was charming and spacious for our family. The views of the lake were stunning and we really enjoyed the outdoor area. Sitting by the firepit listening to music and enjoying the scenery just chillin was something we all loved. The area is nice with plenty to do but we really didn’t need to venture out much because we had everything we needed right there. The beds were very comfortable. We loved our stay and can’t wait to go back. Also, Jen and Raj were very responsive and great to deal with.

They thought of everything! Perfect weekend!

Book it! The house is even better in person and the view and amenities are top notch. The hosts thought of everything to make this weekend trip for our family so perfect. Beautiful decor, comfortable beds, lots of space, games, firewood, a wine cooler, stocked products in the bathroom and kitchen. Even a pack n play and a baby gate - as a mom of 3 it was amazing to not have to pack these. Something for everyone of every age. The host was very accommodating and responsive. I can’t say enough about this experience!! Book it!

Thanksgiving at the Lake

Wonderful property! We had a big family Thanksgiving with great sunset views, corn hole games, puzzles and card games saunas, and PacMan! The place had enough room for us to spread out, and the view never got old. Loved the luxury bedding in my room and the fact that you could either use the top sheet or just the duvet! Would love to come again.

Yellowbird is the best!

Spent a recent weekend at Yellowbird to celebrate a family milestone. The house was clean and comfortable. Everything we needed was at our fingertips. We had no problem communicating with the owner, who always responded to us quickly. If the occasion rises, we would definitely return.

Perfect lakehouse retreat

If you're looking for a quiet peaceful getaway in Connecticut, this is it. Beautiful lakefront property, on medium sized private lake. Very little boating traffic, perfect for kayaking, paddleboarding, rowing, swimming, or lounging. Water clear and warm (but not too warm). Blue herons always perched somewhere, this time saw a bald eagle, too. House has everything you need, PLUS sauna and outdoor shower. Really great getaway - felt a million miles away. Host was terrific, everything was EASY.

It’s like a private resort.

The design of the house and grounds offered so many options throughout each day of our stay that it really felt more like staying at a resort than a house. We moved around the property all day, finding sun or shade and different views/seating styles as needed. It was fabulous to have so many thoughtfully designed choices! Plus, the host Jenn responded so quickly to questions both before and during our stay - honestly quicker than response times at most hotels. Loved every minute of our stay and would go back in a heartbeat.

Spacious and Beautiful House

We loved our stay at Yellowbird. The house is gorgeous and well equipped for all your needs. We had 3 families and there was plenty of space. There is even a pack and play at the house if you are traveling with a baby. We went to the house in February to ski at Mohawk Mountain. The mountain is a quick, easy drive from the house. The views of the lake from the back deck are amazing. I am sure this place would be fantastic in the summer. Thanks for a great week!

Lovely Home and View. Lots of space.

Great space for a large group. Our family loved the home and property. The deck, hammocks and the chairs by the water we so relaxing. Comfortable beds. Only a few used the sauna but they really liked it. Out door shower was very nice. Lots of wood provided and shampoos, games, puzzles, books and plenty of tvs. Pretty much every detail was thought of. We all really enjoyed our stay. We had different friends come for a day visit and everyone thought it was a great spot.

Goshen Magic

I can't say enough nice things about Yellowbird. First of all it's in a super beautiful wooded neighborhood, with tons of privacy. You cannot see your neighbors, however you CAN see a fantastic view of the lake. It's profoundly gorgeous, and the kayak/canoe made for some fantastic boating and fishing. We played cornhole and sat around the firepit, sipping fantastic blender drinks (they have a Ninja!) and playing guitar without worrying about bothering anyone. The house itself was clean and comfortable and very well-equipped. Great kitchen, with a wine cabinet. They also have subscriptions to all the online streaming services, and a fantastic Sonos sound system. Really comfortable bedrooms and nice bathrooms too -- and Jenn was super responsive and kind. Honestly no complaints at all; we can't wait to come back!

Lake Seclusion and Relaxation

Our family of nine (seven adults and two kids) had a very good time at this property. The description of amenities and what the house and location have to offer are all spot on. The owners have really through through all the various needs of a group of folks who want to relax and enjoy a vacation on a pristine and private lake. The kitchen, bedrooms, and bathrooms were more than adequate for our group - it was easy to cook meals in or drive about 15 minutes to grab a bite to eat in the closest town. All of the lake toys - kayaks, paddle board, canoe - made water fun really easy and enjoyable. Recommend you bring your own water floats and toys beyond what is listed, however. Swimming and fishing in the lake were highlights for our group.
