Four college friends and spouses in our 60’s spent a relaxing 2 nights in Alicia and Harry’s beautiful home in the mountains of New Preston. The accommodations were clean, up to date and spacious and impressively equipped with all we needed. The kitchen was perfect for too many cooks to prepare a gourmet dinner. When in the home we spent most of the daylight hours in the living room and most of the evening hours in the family room downstairs. Our ping pong matches were fun. All the bedrooms were spacious and had full bathrooms. We would not hesitate to return.

We booked this property as a group of girlfriends and had the most wonderful time! Our hosts were so accommodating, allowing us to reschedule because one member of our group tested positive for COVID right before we were supposed to arrive. The house is beautiful and the property is so peaceful. We would love to stay again!

Beautiful home in a beautiful location!

Family stayed here for a wedding and we had a blast. The property was wonderful. Well maintained. Great interiors. Really enjoyed our experience and would recommend.

Flawless!!

The barn was beyond my wildest dreams. My friends and I (there were 8 of us) had never been to New Preston, and we couldn’t have asked for a better town or home to stay in for a summer weekend. The Barn is SPOTLESS, updated appliances and some rooms with remote-controlled shades, extremely spacious, even for a group of our size. Beds are super comfortable. The backyard is gorgeous, and the deck was a wonderful place for us to drink our morning coffee and chat. Alicia and Harry answered a million questions from me before the trip, which was enormously helpful for navigating an area we’d never been to. My friends and I went into town to The Owl and Smithy’s sandwich shop as well as the store (highly recommend both)! Hopkins Inn was a beautiful spot for pictures over the lake. We also kayaked on the lake, and it was super easy to just walk up and grab a kayak from the Clarke Outdoors kayak stand. They only take cash so bring some! So worth it. It was a trip to remember and my friends could not stop remarking on how incredible the Barn was. Thank you Alicia and Harry for allowing us to stay in your amazing home.

We were a group of 10 , a mix of family and friends. The house is bright and airy and we had a great time hanging out in the family room with the eclectic selection of books and watching the stars on the deck at night . Would work great for four couples .Liked the set up in the kitchen and the coffee was lovely.

Perfect home base for 4 couples attending nearby wedding.

Everything worked out seamlessly with renting from Alicia and Harry. Their home is just as described and pictured. Very spacious, yet cozy and clean. The basement was the perfect play space for our kids. It was the perfect retreat for the holiday weekend.

Alicia and Harry have a beautiful comfortable home perfect for a family getaway. It’s a wonderful cozy open floor plan with 4 bedrooms and 4 1/2 baths allowing for privacy. Three of the bedrooms are en-suite. The house is immaculate! My family of 8 enjoyed ping pong on the lower level, dinners on the main level by the fireplace, games, books and lots of new memories. Alicia and Harry are wonderful hosts and very easy to communicate with. I hope to be back soon!

Well, what can I say about Alicia and Harry's home? It's THE BEST! I've rented many a VRBO and this one might be my all time favorite. My NY girlfriends and I met up with our MA girlfriends right in the middle, in New Preston, CT, for our annual "ladies cozy weekend." And boy howdy am I glad we did! The house is a dream, so spacious, we each had our own bedroom which was a lovely escape from our relentless families at home. Every bedroom is lovely, the beds are super comfortable, the bathrooms are nice. It is SO CLEAN, maybe the cleanest VRBO I've ever encountered. The fireplace is a real treat on a cold winter's night. We didn't even use the downstairs lounge area and I'm not sure why we never made it down there but it's just as nice as the upstairs. We had Nespresso's every morning and gathered round the dining table for breakfast. We ventured out into New Preston which is the CUTEST most quaint little town and we're charm snobs. We went on a hike to the pinnacle which was glorious and we ate at Community Table and to whoever is reading this, I can't stress this enough, GO THERE! None of us wanted to leave we wished we had booked another night and almost two weeks later we're still talking about how much fun we had. Thank you Alicia and Harry for your lovely lovely home!

Our second visit to the Barn and a lovely family thanksgiving had. Great privacy, picturesque surroundings and wonderful internal space for us all to spread out in. We would be delighted to visit again.

We celebrated my mom’s 70th birthday and had an incredible weekend at The Barn. The home is beautiful inside and out and very spacious (each of our three families had its own wing of the home). Great location surrounded by farm country and tons of outdoor activities and close to town. We can’t wait to stay there again in the summer!

Seamless - couldn’t be better. Highly recommend!

The barn home is beautiful inside and out. And it is nestled among a wooded, quiet, beautiful area, just a short walk from the lake and a short drive from wonderful food, culture, and other activities. Great home and wonderful hosts!

Our stay at this extraordinary home was beyond exceptional. A stunning house on a beautiful piece of property. Luxury throughout. Enormous rooms and bathrooms and super large closet space. Gorgeous kitchen. Owners were attentive to every detail and communication with them made the stay seamless. If this house is available when you are looking to get away grab it ASAP. Best place ever for a stay away from home.
