Roxbury & Washington are 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".

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.

Moosehorn, Roxbury CT

We had a very nice stay in this house, the grandchildren enjoyed skiing at Mohawk Mountain and all amenities were fairly close by in New Milford or surrounding towns. The house was spacious and comfortable, lots of room for the kids to enjoy spending time together. All in all, a nice family get-together after a very busy Christmas Day!

A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE

For anyone looking for an amazing weekend getaway in a home with more than enough room for a group of 10 people, nearby location to beautiful parks and lakes, this is the perfect home. The detail in the quality of Stephen to leave a home for the perfect stay went beyond our expectations. The heated pool was a big plus with enough beach chairs, beach towels for our stay. The house was very clean in every corner of each room through out the house! Great times on the ping pong table and some of the board games the house included! The kitchen is big and perfect size for a group of people to cook together and the dinging table is more than big enough for everyone to sit and have a great time! Nearby were some parks and beautiful lakes about 30 minute drive as well as a Walmart,target and other commercial stores at a 20 minute drive. The communication with Stephen was absolutely perfect as any concerns, questions we had was rapidly replied to by Stephen to make our stay that much better. Overall our stay at this beautiful home was a lifetime experience we will forever cherish and looking forward to future trips in his other homes!

GREAT House!!

This was a great house for families- tons of space and very clean. Very organized and has everything you would need from wifi, cooking utensil, plenty of towels, etc. The pool is clean and spacious. The owner left the house nicely prepared for us and was communicative through the process.

Lovely Stay

Nice big home with a beautiful pool. All was clean and prepared on arrival and the host was very communicative. Small thing to note - the twin beds are lofted inside the master suite, so neither of those rooms is private, if that is important to you. Further, the 6th sleeping space, as pictured, is in a game area - worth noting there is no door on that space (it's the upstairs landing). Great area and well maintained property.

Great Location & Property

The house was spacious, clean, modern, and had plenty of room for 10+ people. It's very secluded and away from busy roads. It has a huge dinning table for family meals, and it also has two full sized kitchens. The main reason we booked this home was for the private pool. It was a decent size pool, which we used multiple times throughout the day. There was also 3 or 4 lawn chairs with umbrellas pool-side which was nice. The only issue we had was the propane tank; which is what's used to heat the pool, ran out of gas on the second day. Hopefully next time it's filled before guests arrive, because it really made swimming at night great. Other than that small issue, we had a great time, and the home is beautiful and in a great location. The owner was very nice and responsive to all my questions and concerns. I would gladly return again in the coming months for another trip!

Beautiful Home

A beautiful home in a serene, peaceful setting! This was the perfect place for our group of old friends to relax and reconnect. Plenty of space to find private time and wonderful common areas to congregate. Nearby spa, restaurants, farms and walking trails. Clean and well appointed, our group is looking forward to a return visit and feeling lucky to have had the opportunity to enjoy this Roxbury gem!

My wife and I and 3 college-age children live in Washington, the perfect country destination within 2 hours of NYC. We moved here from NYC in 2003 to raise our children after years of weekending. I developed and managed boutique design hotels in NYC and CT and remain the managing partner of several. Upon moving to Washington I purchased and renovated many luxury vacation homes and currently rent them short and long term.

This is a beautiful home in a prime private scenic estate neighborhood in one of Litchfield County's most desirable towns - Roxbury - near the Washington town line, Mayflower Inn & Spa, skiing, Lake Waramaug and much more.

What makes this property unique

This beautifully designed home is fully restored in perfect condition with new luxury hotel beds, down feather beds, comforters, pillows, Frette pressed cotton linens and bathrobes, new stainless steel appliances, smart HDTVs throughout, 2 gas fireplaces, heated pool, fully furnished with everything new, on a scenic walking road surrounded by land preserves and country estates.
