Roxbury & Washington are the best country rural retreats within 2 hours of NYC - the best restaurants, shopping, land preserves, Lake Waramaug State Park & Beach, and nearby Mohawk Mountain Skiing. Luxury exceptional design 4 Bedroom home in the best Roxbury location with firepaces and heated pool. Fully restored with a luxury kitchen, great room porch, den with a sleeper sofa, 4 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms. Frette sheets, bathrobes, linens, down feather beds, comforters and pillows. Flat Hi-Def Smart TVs in every room. Wonderful walking and biking (2 bikes) neighborhood surrounded by the former or current homes of Arthur Miller, Marilyn Monroe, Richard Widmark, Alexander Calder, William Styron, Frank McCort, and other artists, actors, and writers.

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. Nature preserves, Lake Waramaug, and the Shepaug River offer extensive hiking, biking, and water activities. Mohawk and Sundown Ski Areas , Lime Rock Raceway, and Quassy Amusement Park are all a short drive. ExploreWashingtonCT and PoshPadsCT have the best listings of area amenities and event calendars. (Note that VRBO-HomeAway's map needs to be zoomed to really show Washington and Roxbury listings only and not homes 30 minutes away in less desirable locations.)

    Everything about our experience was perfect. Steve was a wonderful host, and was extremely communicative. The house was spotless, comfortable and well equipped. We spent all day in the outdoor/indoor living space, which was so comfortable and inviting. The heated pool was the cherry on top.

    A family of 7 adults, one baby and two dogs rented this house for Memorial Day weekend. Communication for check-in was great and Stephen was really flexible about when we arrived and left. The house is very well furnished - tons of towels, sheets, comfy beds, 4 bathrooms, and plenty of seating for everyone, plus an extra propane tank for all the grilling we did. The kitchen is well equipped and we ate most of our meals at home although there are plenty of little towns in the area. The location is pretty rustic and VERY green - driving in the area was a treat. It's a bit pricey but I would happily recommend this listing to other big groups!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Painter Hill Steve, the owner was super responsive and accommodating. The house was beautiful and so comfortable. It was super clean and had plenty of towels and a fully stocked kitchen with all the utensils and dishes you could possibly need. The pool was amazing and even had fun floats and the kids had a blast! There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out and be comfortable. I would definitely recommend this property and look forward to coming back soon!

    If you have never been to this part of Connecticut, you really need to make time to get there. The area is beautiful and full of great restaurants. My family and I were in the mood for something quite and peaceful and this was a great option for us. It was our second time in the area and both times we rented from Steve and had great experiences. Steve really knows the local area and the homes he rents are all great. This home in particular is a nice combination of quite and calm with the ability to relax and recharge. I highly recommend the property and renting with Steve. He has a number of other properties equally as nice and I expect we will be back a third time next year.
