About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Gather with loved ones in this early American home

This early American home (circa 1900) has been updated to host warm gatherings with your closest loved ones. The Captain's Red Cedar Country Retreat offers a peaceful, centrally located setting for the quintessential New England vacation.

The retreat is named after the original red cedar trees on the property, the nautical ambiance of the home, and the exotic pieces collected during my family's time living in Singapore, which you'll discover throughout the house. Imagine yourself as a seasoned sea captain returning home from your latest voyage, welcomed into the warmth of family in this uniquely appointed retreat.

**Bedrooms that Invite Restful Slumber**

Each bedroom is thoughtfully designed for comfort and peace, providing a restful space after a day of exploration. Experience the perfect blend of functionality and style with beds crafted for maximum comfort.

**Why Choose The Captain's Red Cedar Country Retreat?**

Staying in this home offers an experience grounded in authenticity and genuine care for our guests. For us, it’s the thoughtful details that make all the difference.

With keyless entry, guests have full access to the front and back yards, extending to the tree line between the two houses on the property. In the shared yard, you may meet our friendly neighbors.

The private driveway can easily accommodate up to four cars.

At The Retreat, we celebrate our differences and respect the unique journeys that have brought each guest to our door. Our goal is to create a welcoming space where everyone feels at home, and we open our arms to all who come with love and peace in their hearts.

During your stay, we are always available to assist with your needs. Our contact information will be shared with you before your arrival, and we are just a few doors away, ready to help you make the most of your time with us.

Come and experience the peaceful ambiance of our quiet neighborhood, surrounded by nature trails. You'll have direct access to these trails from your backyard, leading to the Friends of the Franc Preserve for leisurely woodland strolls or action-packed mountain biking.

The neighborhood is a flat dead end with three cul-de-sacs, perfect for walking and cycling. Just a short drive from your doorstep, indulge in delicious treats at the nearby Ferris Acres Creamery.

Explore the charm of Downtown Bethel, only 8 minutes away, or venture to Newtown and Danbury within 10-15 minutes. A rental car is essential to fully enjoy your stay in this tranquil area, as public transportation is limited.

Unwind in front of the authentic stone fireplace (for ambiance only, this is not a working fireplace) surrounded by friends and family. A visit to the Captain's Red Cedar Country Retreat is a step back to a simpler time, guaranteed to restore the balance between cherished memories of the past and the promise of what is yet to come.
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with 3 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker. Housekeeping is available on request.

Quaint little place near Bethel

A quaint little place with a lot of character. Very clean and the hosts are great. A bit small for 5 of us but the location was where we needed it to visit family.Listing states that it sleeps seven. I would not suggest more than four people with the single bathroom upstairs. Air-conditioning consisted of two undersized window units; one for upstairs, one for downstairs. Upstairs on max would not keep up with a 85 degree day.

Liked: Cleanliness
The home was very clean and was perfect for being close to everywhere we needed to be. Erika was very communicative when we did not receive the automatic check in instructions or check out instructions. She even dropped off fans for us to use since the house doesn’t have AC.
