Come and dream of your life as an artist! This beautiful retreat was once an artist's studio and Marc Chagall's respite from NY.
Newly renovated; bright, clean and well decorated. This suite is quiet and separate from the owners converted barn home.
Great hiking and biking and shopping nearby.
The leaves are turning - this is a fabulous base for your leaf peeping adventures or for parent weekends at the local boarding schools.
Access to Lake Waramaug with the owners beach pass. Bring your bikes, your kayak and your hiking shoes.
Wine bar and excellent restaurants nearby.
This charming 2-bedroom New Preston apartment was the perfect escape! Cozy rooms welcomed us with peace and comfort, melting away city stress. Host Melanie's warm smile and delicious homemade cookies added a personal touch that made our stay truly heartwarming. Reconnecting with nature was easy - breathtaking scenery, quiet streets, and a nearby lake offered peaceful beauty. This wasn't just a place to stay, it was an experience we'll treasure. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ P.S. too bad I forgot Ask Melanie for the cookie recipe, were delicious!
The Artist Annex was just what I was looking for: a perfect little getaway to recharge my batteries for a few days. Melanie and Gary (as well as their adorable dogs) were gracious and accommodating hosts, and the space was bright and airy with a perfect deck for coffee in the a.m. and wine in the evening (chipmunk visitors aplenty)! The complimentary bottle of wine and delish chocolate chip cookies were a perfect touch! Great places nearby for hiking, and plenty of sights to explore. Definitely check out The Smithy Cafe at 9 Main, The Owl Wine Bar and White Horse Pub. All of the locals I met along the way were so friendly and New Preston itself was quaint and picturesque. Would come back in a heartbeat!
Great property great location wonderful day
Loved our stay at Chagall's retreat. We were in town over Memorial Day weekend for a friend's birthday and luckily found Melanie's guesthouse nearby. Convenient location, walking distance to the lake, beautiful surroundings, extremely comfortable and very clean and quiet. Loved the adjacent patio surrounded by nature. Easy access and parking. The home-made cookies were an unexpected bonus. Melanie was welcoming and friendly, and had great recommendations for restaurants etc. 100% would stay again next time in the area!
Lovely property. GREAT chocolate chip cookies. Easy from our main visiting location at the Frederick Gunn School.
Lovely home and lovely hosts. Location is ideal to all this beautiful area has to offer.
A charming apartment close to Lake Waramug and the tiny village of New Preston. The space is light and airy. From the piles of sumptuous towels to the fabulous homemade cookies it's perfect spot for a long weekend (or more), The kitchen is small but quite serviceable. there is no living room per se but there is a lovely deck which was even better. Melanie could not have been a more warm and gracious host. We hope to be back.
My wife, two children and I stayed for a long weekend. It was great! It was minutes from the town boat launch and we had blast boating on the lake. We also went to Kent falls, it was about a 15 minute drive. The area is so quiet and peaceful. We will be going back soon! James
Very nice property. Hosts were wonderful.
We had an amazing long girls weekend! We visited lots of local wineries, hiked, and went to a Drive-In across the NY border. The property was great and we had everything we needed!
Nice quiet location with everything we needed for a weekend getaway. Appreciated the homemade cookies and bottle of wine that Melanie left for us. Everything was clean & comfortable.
We loved the cottage and the owners were very responsive to any of our questions. Only concern was that the skylights let in light and I'm sensitive to light so woke up earlier than I wanted to in the morning. On the other hand it was great to be up when the rest of the world was quiet. We got to see a bear!
My wife and I had a great few days at this cozy suite. Very quiet and comfy, with lots of natural light and a patio for meals. Easy access to the Lake Waramaug beach; the towns of New Preston, Washington, and Kent; and hiking and biking. We even went over to the Storm King Art Center for one morning - an easy drive. Melanie, the owner, was incredibly responsive. Highly recommend it.
