The Perfect Escape From The City
About this house rental
Situated in Sharon, this lovely house for $250 per night is a fantastic choice for your next break. Perched on a rise in the beautiful lower Berkshires of Litchfield County, this house is your ideal escape from city life! A modern house with a New England farmhouse feel, surrounded by lawn and flower beds, with green views from every window of this sun-filled cottage. Situated in the tri-corner region of NY, CT, and MA, it sits on a breezy rise overlooking hay fields, and is surrounded by gardens featuring a stand of pines and butternuts. The west-facing deck, living room, and master bedroom, overlook the sunset beyond the hay fields, with Indian Mountain defining the horizon. The trip from New York City is either by car (1.5 hours), or by rail. Wassaic station is 20 minutes away and it is the last stop on the Metro-North Harlem line. In the fall, the autumn foliage and sparkling blue skies of the season are in full display at this location. This listing is ideally located for visitors to the Hotchkiss School. For the intrepid, the Appalachian trail is very close for a pleasant day hike. Apple picking and berry picking or any local day activity is punctuated by cosy evenings at the fireplace or flatscreen TV in the living room. Winter at the house takes "cozy" to another level. Enjoy resting indoors by the fireplace, while watching the snow fall all around. If you are a skier, within a 20-minute drive you will find skiing at Mohawk, and if you head north, Butternut, and Catamount are also a great weekend choices in nearby southwest Massachusetts. Besides Hotchkiss School (5 minutes), Kent (20 minutes) and Indian Mountain school (10 minutes) are also nearby. This home could not be more convenient for parents up for a weekend to combine rest and visiting with a son or daughter. Lion Rock Farm and Hotchkiss Farm, popular wedding venues, are less than a mile away. The house features a kitchen with modern stainless appliances, granite counters, and a 30 bottle wine cooler. Anderson windows are everywhere, wood floors and marble tiled baths. Cable service, broadband internet and WiFi keeps you connected, ... if this is what you must do. Wildlife is everywhere, birds of all kinds, owls, hawks, ducks, geese, turkeys, foxes, bobcats, deer and black bear. Yes, black bear, so we urge our guests, especially those with small children, to avoid getting close if one appears. They are most active in early spring. We hope to hear from you! Keywords: House

Excellent home on beautiful property. Perfect for quiet stay in a country setting. Picturesque "old New England" area. We stayed in January and house is warm and comfortable. Fire place in living room was awesome. Wood burning stoves in each bedroom is also a nice feature. Plenty of seasoned fire wood provided by owner. All needs were met. Owner was very flexible and accommodating and even checked-in with us during our stay due to impending snowstorm to reassure us driveway would be plowed timely and he was available for anything we may need. Would highly recommend this home.

The moment you walk into this charming home, you are transfixed by the setting. The house is secluded in a serene and picturesque pastoral setting with a view of the mountains in a beautiful meadow brimming with birdsong, deer and rabbits and a bird ‘s eye view of the sun. All the large windows throughout the house capture the view in its essence. The house is airy and well lit by the light that filters in through all the windows
Every amenity is thought of from quality appliances, pots , dinnerware, comfortable bedding and accommodations for whatever cooking utensil you could possibly need. The barbecue grill is new and has a large capacity
This home is exceptionally clean and Serge and Lannyl were very responsive and gracious The four poster bed in the upstairs bedroom has a breathtaking view and a perfect way to be lulled to sleep. The photos on the website don t do it justice but it s always a nice surprise when a house surpasses your expectations. I plan on returning n the Fall for another spectacular nature show.

This cozy place gave us everything we needed in terms of being comfortable with 2 little kids.
We'd stay here again in future, when needed.

We were charmed by the view and the serene setting in a glade alight with fireflies at night and wildflowers by day. The house had every amenity, well stocked kitchen with many extra touches. Air conditioning in bedrooms made our stay really appreciated in the humid heat of July. Our family loved it and will come again!!! Great location for local wedding attendees 🥰

Super property
While the house itself isn't notable from the outside, it is wonderful inside, and the view is incredible. The 2 main bedrooms, dining and living areas are large and pretty; there is even a separate wardrobe room off the main bedroom. Pretty patio overlooking a meadow and ,mountain, as do the common areas and main bedroom.The hosts have thought of pretty much thought of - and stocked - everything, (Including coviid self-tests, which we unfortunately needed.) We would definately use again.

We had an amazing stay in Sharon, CT! The house was beautifully arranged, clean, inviting, and cozy, just as described. Lannyl and Serge are great hosts and were very helpful and friendly in their communications, especially as we needed to adjust our dates. They even reached out when they found our daughters slippers which we left behind, and offered to mail them to us. We will definitely try to stay there again on future trips to the area.

Great place with an amazing view
A really great NorthWest CT home that we loved spending our holiday in visiting nearby family. The owner helped us coordinate our arrival (which is not easy with a toddler) and we enjoyed our stay throughout the two weeks. The West/SouthWest mountain views never get old and the home felt cozy even as the temperatures dropped. A great stay.

Views galore!
We had a wonderful time at Sergio and Lannyl's house. The views are incredible! This was the perfect serene oasis. The hosts couldn't have been more helpful and attentive. We HIGHLY recommend this property and look forward to returning!

We just wrapped up a north east road trip which included a 2 night stay at this rental in October 2021.
Pros
- Nice view
- Private setting
- Close to town
- BBQ is nice
- Everything needed to cook including sharp knives (we have stayed at many rentals and never had sharp knives)
Cons
- House was not professionally cleaned prior to us visiting; evidence of spider webs/dust etc.
- Musty smell throughout the home (it soaked into our clothes)
- No king size beds (really need at least one)
- Smaller TV on odd angle (important for us as it rained quite a bit)
- Back deck (with the view) is too narrow to be useful
Bottom line.
The town of Sharon is very quaint (like out of a movie).
There is a park with a nice waterfall about 15 minutes away that's great to hike and take pics at.
The area is very nice, especially in the fall.
With that said, this listing really needs improvements to get it to a baseline comfort level.
We'll visit the area again but will definitely stay elsewhere.

What a beautiful home and plot of land in which to enjoy a “girls weekend” with my Mom and sisters! The house with its huge windows is full of light, simply decorated, with all the amenities we needed, and we spent much of our time outdoors, enjoying sunset views on the deck and starlit nights around the fire pit. We loved the peaceful surroundings and comforts your house provided.
We look forward to returning to enjoy the different seasons in this beautiful corner of Connecticut. Spasibo...thank you, Serge and Lannyl, for sharing your lovely home with us!
Best regards,
The Feduik girls: Lynne, Carol, Tanya, and Natasha

Wake Up To A Beautiful View!
This cozy home worked perfectly for a weekend stay while attending a wedding at nearby LionRock Farm. It was nice being spirited away from the main road with pastural and mountain views, and we enjoyed setting a fire in the fireplace at night. Sadly we didn't get to spend much time at the house, but if we're ever in the area again we would return to this property!

The property was at a great location. We attended our daughters graduation at Hotchkiss.
We really enjoyed our stay at the property. It was comfortable for my family and we enjoyed the atmosphere. We even heard the turkeys in the morning.

Lovely house in quiet surroundings
The situation of the house was perfect, surrounded by fields and with lovely views and sunsets from the back porch. It was also very comfortable and quiet. There are a couple of reasons why I didn't rate it with 5 stars. There weren't enough cereal bowls for potentially 6 guests - only 4 cereal bowls and 4 mugs. It would take very little time and expense to equip the kitchen more extensively. Also the kettle which was really bad and corroded and needed replacing. The handle fell apart whilst pouring a cup of tea and nearly caused a scalding accident and a washer from the handle was discovered at the bottom of a cup and luckily wasn't drunk. There was only one bedside light in the downstairs bedroom and so we borrowed one from upstairs. We were very confused by the downstairs bed and the way it had been made up. The mattress was very soft and squashy and we discovered a couple of days later that the warm feather quilt (which surely should have been on top of us and not underneath) had been put on the mattress beneath the bottom sheet?!!! and on top of the bed was only a very thin blanket which wasn't nearly warm enough for the chilly nights. I'd love to know why. We took a quilt from one of the upstairs beds to use over the top of us to keep warm.
We ate in The Stacked Kitchen in Sharon and enjoyed a very tasty and reasonably cheap meal. Ashley, the owner was very friendly and helpful and the service was good. The area around Sharon is beautiful.

Had a great stay
We had a great stay here. The house is very nice, clean, comfortable and just enough privacy. We had some family over and there was plenty of room for everyone. The bed in the master bedroom was so comfortable that we immediately purchased the same mattress pad online as soon as we got home.
Would definitely rent again!
