About this property

Back on VRBO! The oldest house in Litchfield CT

Idyllic antique country cottage in a private setting. Cozy as it gets, and convenient to everything the area has to offer, including hiking, vineyards, fishing, boating, farms, skiing, and award winning restaurants. Ample space in and outdoors to enjoy the company of your loved ones. We are the oldest house in Litchfield, and boast original floors, doors and beams. We have been told The Red House simply hugs you! There are no neighbors whatsoever (by all means play your music!) but there is some noise from the main road which we like to be transparent about. It doesn't bother us, but some prefer a quieter country setting.

We loved our stay at the house! It’s in a great location that’s convenient to many spots in Litchfield and the house is beautifully preserved. Lots of historic details throughout the home with nice, comfortable modern updates and a beautiful garden area. I’d recommend this home to anyone looking in Litchfield county.

Delightful country retreat

Our group of 6 30-something friends came up from NYC and Philly for labor day weekend. The house was spotless and charming, with ample space inside and outside to relax, and a generous assortment of pantry items and supplies. We enjoyed hiking in the White Memorial nature preserve across the street, tasting spirits at Litchfield Distillery (also across the street) and enjoying the local restaurants. The Gerenas were wonderful hosts, communicating clearly and smoothly the whole time. Thanks so much for helping to make our trip special!

History, comfort, style and location!

Wonderfully relaxing weeklong vacation at the Red House with our dog. The house is charming and historic with modern first floor bathroom with stall shower. Also boasts large smart TVs in living room and first floor master bedroom with super comfy king sized bed. Small country kitchen stocked well for cooking with new oven and dishwasher. Property is fabulous as well, with plenty of space to spread out in multiple seating areas. Great location for visiting Bantam, Litchfield, New Preston, Goshen and beyond.
