About this property

Cherrybrook Hideaway - Book now for autumn colors!

Welcome to Cherrybook Hideaway, one of the unique "deck houses" that were popularized in the Northeast during the mid-1900's for their warm wood, walls of glass, open floor plans, and cathedral ceilings. Our Hideaway is a mountainside retreat situated on 1.5 acres of private woods.

Enjoy your morning coffee on the wraparound deck, surrounded by trees and birds. Admire the sunset while enjoying a cocktail on the patio. Stargaze while in front of the firepit. With serene views from every window (and there are a ton of windows!), you’ll feel like you're living in the treetops.

This house comfortably sleeps 6. Enjoy a book in one of the many indoor and outdoor reading nooks, snuggle up on the sofa and play an LP from our collection (or bring along your favorites), enjoy stargazing at the fire pit, or cozy up in front of the flatscreen TV in the family room.

Although this house is secluded in a serene landscape, you’re only 6 minutes into Collinsville for antiquing, boutiques, LaSalle’s, and the rails-to-trails; 12 minutes to Ski Sundown; and 9 minutes to the convenient shopping. 33 minutes to Bradley International Airport; 2 hours to Boston and NYC.

Please note:
Uneven surfaces
Open staircase
Pets have lived in the house in the past
Not an allergy-free home (pets, nuts, perfumes, dyes and other common allergens may have been introduced to the house’s environment in the past)

Magical escape in the forest

We had the best stay at Jessica and Ben’s treehouse! We stayed for just over nine weeks and it truly felt like our home away from home. The house is surrounded by trees and truly feels secluded and private. There are many farms, restaurants, and shops just down the road making it super convenient. There was the perfect amount of space for our family of 4 and communication was excellent. We can’t wait to come back again soon!

Sisters Weekend

Thanks for another great time at your beautiful home! Your place is super comfy. We love sitting on the back deck on clear nights looking at the bright sky with all its stars! During the day we enjoy hiking and taking trips to surrounding towns. Our weekend was perfect and we hope to return in the Spring!

Beautiful home away from home

My family and I had a wonderful week at this beautiful, wooded retreat! The house was very clean, had lovely decor, and was nestled in the treetops, so you felt secluded even though stores and restaurants are conveniently located nearby. The kitchen was very well equipped and my entire family very much enjoyed the wonderful book and music collections for kids and adults alike. There are also numerous indoor and outdoor games available, as well as a lovely firepit and dining area on the deck for cookouts. Jessica was a terrific communicator and a thoughtful and attentive host. We can't wait to come back!

Great Rental in mountains of CT

Well appointed and welcoming home. Comfortably sleeps 6. Thoughtful hosts and great communication. String is wooded and serene. Only tip, GPS directs you to turn too soon, Don’t, continue around bend to “white” mailbox with street number and enter driveway. Will definitely visit again. Oh, almost forgot, they have a record player and nice collection of albums. Intro’d hi-ci and 33RPMs to my 20 something kids🥰

The best home we have ever stayed in!

We have visited many places and stayed in many different homes, but this is without a doubt the best place we have ever rented. There is not a thing you will want for while you stay in this home. Comfy beds, wonderful views, toys, books, and games. Alexa in upper and lower floors. The kitchen is fabulous - well-stocked, great for cooking, and even some essentials you may need to make dinner or breakfast. There are 2 full bathrooms, which is always nice when you have kiddos. Fire pit with a 360 view of the woods. Spacious deck where you can eat a meal or lounge on comfy outdoor furniture. And, a great view of the birds who visit the bird feeder directly outside the kitchen window. Lastly, a great central point for museums, hiking, dining, shopping, and seafood. We did not want to leave. :)

Canton vacation

Jessica’s home is amazing! It had everything you need and more. The kitchen is fully stocked and the furniture and beds are super comfy! My sister and I especially loved having our morning tea on the wraparound deck with all its beautiful plants and flowers. Our week was perfect! We plan on returning in the fall.

Stunning mountain home

Even the teens agreed this was the best vacation home we have ever rented. The property is privately nettled in a quiet wooded neighborhood. Inside, we simply felt at home. Everything from the comfy sofas, to the record player and vinyl selection, to the kitchen and deck were just perfect. The master bedroom is stunning and the other two bedrooms were perfect. Simple, stylish, but above all, comfortable. We really enjoyed grilling on the deck and sitting by fire pit. Honestly, I'll be looking out for the next winter storm so I can can fly up, stock up on food and wine and just hang out in this stunning mountain home watching the snow fall outside the windows listening to Frank Sinatra. Thank you Jessica for every recommendation and for being a superb host.

Perfect!

This property so exceeded our expectations; we could not have asked for a better place, a better time. The home is so clean, comfortable, attractive, and well-appointed. These hosts knock it out of the park. We can't wait to visit again!

About the host

Hosted by Ben and Jessica Livingston

Host profile image
Jessica and Ben live in Westchester County, NY and Canton, CT with their two kids. Ben is an actor and Jessica is a teacher.

Why they chose this property

We bought the cabin after the untimely passing of Jessica's brother as a place of retreat, natural beauty, and comfort. We love sharing this special place with others!

What makes this property unique

We sometimes call the cabin our treehouse! The cabin just rustic enough and just modern enough. It's both private and secluded but close to many conveniences.
