Description

This is a charming, two-story home across from the 1835 Congregational Church in historic South Britain and the surrounding foothills at the border of Litchfield County. It is an easy 75-minutes away from NYC by car and twp hours by bus - Peter Pan bus leaves from Bus Terminal and as second stop arrives at Southbury's bus terminal, one mile from rental home.with pick-up and drop-off available at no charge.  
 
The two-story carriage house was built in 1795 as part of the main house. The first floor space for the carriage is now a very large living room and adjacent television viewing area (bedroom 3 at night). A kitchen and dining room wing was added with views out to the grounds. The second floor is reached by an open stair. The former hayloft and stable master's quarters are now a super-sized master bedroom, a sun-room office with windows facing 3 directions, a second smaller bedroom, a modern bathroom with shower, and a washer/dryer area. 
 
Adjacent to the Carriage House is a 450 sq. ft. Greenhouse Party Room with a profusion of plants, an over-sized fire place, lounge for up to fifty and dining seating for up to thirty, buffet and bar on upper level, and views opening to to the lawns and gardens. This space is perfect for parties, meetings, conferences, buffet dinners, even weddings on the lawns. This space, if available, can be rented by the day if you would like to have it.

Great host


We needed a weekend off and this was the perfect place. It is not to far from anything in Connecticut while being nice and quiet. The carriage house is well kept and pretty. The owner is gracious and kind. Enjoy your stay!

Wonderful home, beautiful property, extremely nice host!


First time using this site. We had a great experience! We pulled up to a beautiful home and was greeted by Jay. He is very nice and eager to help. The home is warm and inviting. It is close to so many cool places, hiking trails, antique shops, markets, and more! Wonderful stay. I Would love to stay again.

Great historic home on a lovely piece of property.


Spent long weekend here with our dog who loved the big lawn the the nearby dog park, which is enormous. Jay was a great host and we played tennis with him as well as some drinks. Fascinating host with great stories. Would definitely rent again.

Home away from home


We loved staying here with our toddler. Jay was a great host and offered us a bottle of wine upon arrival. We had everything we needed to be comfortable and everyone was so friendly and welcoming. The house is only 10 min. from our family and we loved having friends over to eat outside after the baby went down. And she loved running around the beautiful yard and playing in the gazebo. We will be making Jay\'s carriage house our home away from home next time we go back to visit.

The carriage house is in a great spot if you are staying in the region. Lovely gardens provide a tranquil outdoor setting.
