Enjoy all seasons in this lovely and oh-so-comfy home in rural Litchfield County. The Barn on Looking Glass Hill has a swimming pool, light and airy master suite, fireplace and space on six acres. The property is a restored barn and milking parlor. The original restoration was done in 1980. It underwent a most thoughtful style overhaul in 2016, with the addition of wide plank floors throughout, bead-boarding, board and batten, and lighting throughout from Remains Lighting. This attention to detail is evident in the landscaping. Native plantings and a updated pool area make this home special.
The property is near the crest of a hill, facing south with sun all day long. Looking Glass Hill is a less-travelled road, close to 202 and 5 minutes from the center of Bantam (with Arethusa, Bantam Market, antiques, a farmer's market, Bantam Lake). Cars rarely drive by and the back of the property is very private.
The house is fully insulated for year-round use and has baseboard heating throughout. Supplemental heat can provided by the living room fireplace.
The property is available year-round. We generally close the pool at the end of September. Please enquire if you have any questions regarding pool use around May or October (depending on the weather it may be possible to use. please note that HEATING COSTS FOR THE POOL ARE EXTRA).

From the moment we stepped in, absolutely fell in love with the house. The beautiful furnishings and coziness of the home are unmatched. We absolutely loved the quiet of the neighborhood as well. Surrounding area is delightful! We got ice cream at the cutest place in town (strawberry was amazing) and went on a wonderful hike near the pond. Overall, an absolutely wonderful last minute trip and Michael was amazing with communication and instructions! We will definitely be back!
We had an excellent time. The house is comfortable and the kitchen is well-equipped for cooking family meals. The area is full of fun things to do - great hikes and great restaurants. The pool is the highlight - beautiful and serene. I can definitely recommend this home as a solid place for a low-key family vacation!
Perfect house and location. House was so comfortable with everything you could possibly need.
There is nothing negative I can say about this property. We spend a weekend in mid January. It was the coldest weekend we had this winter. The house was so costly with the open fire place. It was so beautiful and the home is decorated with such taste & elegance. Thank you Michael I do plan to return in the summer
We really enjoyed our stay! Plenty of room for the 3 of us. The kitchen was well stocked and and the furnishings and decor were cozy and cool. Location is really convenient to many great restaurants and hiking trails.
We loved our stay! Quiet, peaceful, and relaxing. The grounds are gorgeous, the house is very comfortable and well appointed, and the location is great for nearby dining! Michael is a great host and made everything easy!
This lovely home has a lot of privacy with gorgeous grounds and a wonderful pool. We did not want to leave and will definitely be back!
We were in town for a wedding in Kent and it was the perfect home base for our family to relax and enjoy. Michael was always available and very friendly. We hope to stay again in the future. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We loved our stay! The farmhouse was just as described. The area was lovely. Locals were very friendly. Easy to find out way around town. Would stay here again!
We had a wonderful time staying at Michaels house.. peaceful, relaxing and had everything we needed. Great location for visiting all Litchfield County has to offer including incredible dining options. Michael was super helpful with all aspects of renting. We hope to stay again at his home!
