About this property
Large, Sunny 4 Bedroom Home Sleeps 8 and 1 minute to Five Fabulous Restaurants
My home is available for longer stays. Please contact me for more details. My home has all the casual comfortable amenities for your perfect family/friends getaway. It's one that you'll want to return to and stay longer. This antique and sculpture filled, light-splashed two story 4 bedroom / 2.5 bath home on Connecticut's Antique Trail has big indoor and outdoor lounging areas on a uniquiqely sculpted acre garden setting just one hot minute from Woodbury's popular restaurant scene and three minutes from Woodbury's town center - "Connecticut's Most Charming Small Town!"
This historic district home has been enlarged and updated. It has been properly prepared for you, with a minimum one day interval between guests. Its been thoroughly cleaned and disinfected following guidelines based on recommendations from the CDC.
Comfortably sleeping a maximum of eight guests, this rambling 2,800 sq. ft home was a former bed and breakfast property with an upped level of care and comfort for your perfect home away that's yours as long as you need it. Family and friends or family getaway. Or just yourself.
The ground floor includes: a big, airy Eat-in Kitchen with a Skylight (the full moon's light is my favorite); a large Dining area with seating for 8 persons with patio doors leading to the large three season porch at far end, more patio doors to the covered porch at the near end, and a cozy lounging area in a large bay windowed alcove overlooking the garden (It's hard to Twitter with all of the bird feeder activity goings on just outside the windows); a lounging Living Room with a second set of patio doors to the three season porch; a cheery half bathroom is near the front entrance; a ground floor Bedroom with a queen sized bed, patio doors to the private rear garden, a large walk-in closet, and an en-suite bathroom with a double sink and walk-in shower; and, a large capacity washer and dryer in the pantry off the kitchen.
The three bedrooms upstairs all have noise blocking window attachments, black out roman shades and red oak floors. The beds are super comfortable. The cotton linens, comforters and pillows are all soft and clean, laundered with free and clear detergent. There's a large bedroom with a king bed that may be converted into twin beds upon prior request. The other two bedrooms have queen sized beds. The upstairs bathroom is sunny and roomy with good lights and mirrors.
The Sky Light in the kitchen area makes getting up in the morning a good thing with fresh brewed coffee and the opened patio doors to the beach garden. Alternative eating spots include outside under the covered porch where you may have a leisurely enjoyed brunch party at the table that seats six or the adjoining three season room where inside the perfect afternoon light filled venue is ready for hosting afternoon drinks or evening cocktails as the setting sun may be dappled by the big daddy sugar maple outside.
Your Host lives in the attached garage/ air hangar which is a working artist's live/work studio with its own and separate road access, private entrance and parking.
The home has excellent high speed 303 Mbp WIFI internet accessible throughout the house. (It's Netgear's ORBI RBK50 Tri-band Whole Home Mesh WIFI System.) There is no cable service; but there are two Roku smart TVs to sign into your favorite streaming accounts.

We had a wonderful stay! The property was beautiful, thoughtfully decorated, and felt very welcoming. The beds were very comfortable, and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. Douglas was very responsive and easy to communicate with throughout our stay. We would love to stay here again!
Wow!! This was the BEST VRBO we have ever stayed in. The house is stunning and decorated with beautiful art work and gardens. It is immaculately cleaned with anything you may need to cook meals. Very comfortable beds. We loved the outdoor patio. The town nearby is walkable and super cute. Douglas is so friendly and welcoming. He was available if we had any questions and check-in was very easy. Highly recommend and would love to stay here again!
Great host, flexible and responsive. The property is excellent, inside and outside. Chef’s kitchen with large modern appliances and work space. This was excellent for our group of five to stay plus several plenty of entertaining space for four additional visitors from CT.
We stayed here with family while in town and had a wonderful experience. The home is beautiful, spotless, and filled with stunning artwork that made it feel especially warm and inviting. The owner is incredibly kind, and was so easy to communicate with throughout our stay. It was the perfect place for our family to gather, and we truly appreciated the comfort and care put into the home.

Rebecca and her family are five star guests and are welcome back anytime. They were a pleasure to meet and host, were neat and tidy guests, and respectful of the property.
We had the most incredible stay at Doug’s home. We have probably stayed at more than 30 properties over the years and this by far was the most comfortable, relaxing and enjoyable. The grounds are beautiful and the flower garden is so well designed and cared for. The interior is updated, very clean and a bit quirky with country manor charm throughout. Quality inside and out.There were eight of us in town for a celebration of life and being able to come home, spread out and enjoy the artwork or the cozy areas throughout without feeling cramped was just what we needed. Also, we highly recommend taking the Ikebana flower arrangement class. It was great.Thank you Doug. We hope to be able to return one day.
Host was very responsive & house was stunning. Comfortable and very upscale.Home had all necessary cooking needs & the artwork and furnishings were gorgeous
We needed a home to stay for the weekend of our daughter's wedding. This place was more than advertised and was very comfortable. Alot of thought has gone into this property and the owner has a keen eye for detail. I would highly recommend this property if one needed a stay in the area.
I would have a hard time finding a better place to stay here or anyplace in the area. GREAT Host, area and restaurant's.

Thank you, Jim. It was wonderful meeting and hosting you both! It's terrific that you and nearby family members made such good use of my home as a base to explore the Litchfield Hills, CT shoreline communities, and area restaurants. The fabulous group of restaurants just down the street offer great food and atmosphere for those times when at home meal preparation just isn't on one's vacation agenda.
Great host! We've stayed multiple times and he was very flexible with our schedule and was very quick to respond with any questions. Would definitely stay here again!
Douglas was very accommodating and organized! The house is fully stocked with everything you would ever need. The check in process was seamless. One of the best checkouts ever…all we had to do was turn off the lights and leave the key! Beautiful grounds and garden. Highly recommend if you are in the Woodbury area!
We had such a comfortable stay in Douglas’ beautiful home. Everything was perfectly clean, the gardens were beautiful and the kitchen was amazingly well equipped. It was really a wonderful refuge for my family.
The place was spotless. It is a warm and welcoming home. Many places to gather for breakfast, cocktails, dinner. Garden is in perfect condition. Beds are very comfortable. The manager even agreed to send things we left behind!
We loved our stay at this beautiful home. The house had a great kitchen and master bathroom and beauty throughout. It was decorated with beautiful artwork and amazing gardens. The owner Doug was very accomodating.
We throughly enjoyed our stay from the moment we arrived. Douglas is the most accommodating host! The home is decorated beautifully and equipped with every amenity you can imagine. The garden's are spectacular!
Looking forward to staying again!
From the start, our host was amazing! Very helpful and welcoming. The place had everything we needed to cook a meal for our Mom’s 80th birthday! The house was well kept and a great layout for larger gatherings!
