The Art House: 5-Acre, Private Getaway with Fireplace
Situated on 5 acres, "The Art House" is the perfect place for those looking to relax and unwind, as well as to explore and enjoy all that the area has to offer. This contemporary farmhouse, tucked away on a private hilltop in the beautiful New England countryside, offers breathtaking sunset views, as well as a spacious interior that has been thoughtfully decorated, and desirable amenities that allow guests to feel right at home.
The Space: The Art House, named for its one-of-a-kind art pieces, offers ample space for relaxing, both inside and out. Inside the home, guests will find three bedrooms: one king (second level), and two queens (on on the main level, and one on the second level). The dedicated workspace, also located on the second level, is the perfect place to catch up on work or a good book. Outside, guests are invited to relax on the fully furnished front porch, or on the back patio, where they will be greeted by a firepit, an outdoor dining table, and grill. Both areas provide a spectacular view of the area's beautiful sunsets, and serve as the perfect place to gather after returning from the day's adventures.
* Please note: 4WD/ AWD vehicles are highly recommended for those visiting during the winter months, as the property is located at the top of a long, steep driveway. *Window AC units are placed in each of the three bedrooms, as well as the workspace, living room, and dining room during warmer months. *Guests who wish to stay longer than 14 days must sign a separate lease agreement.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio. There's 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.

The property was beautiful. Location was close to family that live in the area. The house was big enough for my family and we loved the fire pit in the back. We will definitely book again when we come to Connecticut if it is available

Beautiful house with gorgeous views
The house and property were exactly as advertised. It's a rather secluded house that's a stone throw (driving) from a bunch of nearby amenities. The house itself has a great front porch and back patio. Its mostly open concept entry, living room, dining room, and kitchen flows well. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. The coffee and snacks were a nice bonus. There's also a bedroom and full bathroom downstairs which was great for my older mother. Upstairs are 2 bedrooms and an office. We only used one of the bedrooms where there was plenty of space and a comfy bed. The upstairs bathroom has only a shower, which worked perfectly for me and my partner. Window air conditioning units were helpful on the warmer days. And, of course, there was beautiful art throughout the house. Finally, our host was communicative throughout. We highly recommend this property.

Wonderful property
Our family of four (and 2 dogs) enjoyed our stay at the Art House. The home blends modern amenities with a rustic feel; beautifully decorated and cozy. Location was great...close to hiking, restaurants, and cute town of New Milford. We enjoyed relaxing on the patio with the firepit. Large yard was nice for walking our dogs. Communication with host was great; quick and easy check-in/out. The driveway was a little tricky finding the first time at night, but no problem after that. Overall we had a wonderful stay and would recommend.

Mother Daughter Weekend
The home is lovely and well appointed. The beds and furniture were very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed for our stay. The little snack basket on the counter was a nice touch. The hosts were very responsive. A few safety issues kept this from being a 5 star review. The driveway in and out of the property is a real nail-biter. The mirrors don't really help as the brush on either side of the road is so dense that you can't really see what's coming as you exit. We had a few close calls. The exterior garage bay door had no lock. We pulled our car up right against it each night; was a little unnerving thinking there was possible access to the house from that point with no way to "lock" it. I realize this might not be an issue for some, but as it was just my daughter and I in the house it was a bit uncomfortable.

Excellent!
Charming restored old home with modern conveniences. So clean and spacious, beautifully decorated. Everything was new and fresh and thoughtfully done - we had everything we needed for a family of five. Worked well for kids and adults. Great setup for working from home, too. Hosts were great, easy to contact and very responsive. Convenient location in a gorgeous area of the state - grocery store etc close by. Would highly recommend this property!
Only cons: the driveway was tricky - not good visibility on a road where cars can really pick up speed. Mirrors helped. Take your time getting out! And the brand new washer and dryer (yay!) was in a typical old-house basement (not yay!). But those were minor things and overall a really wonderful experience.

One of our best VRBO Experiences!
Jon and Jessica, thank you so much for an incredible experience. You thought of everything for your guests. Every bed is so comfortable, we loved the artwork, and the home exudes relaxation and warmth. It was immaculate and extremely clean. We enjoyed spending the afternoons on the patio and covered porch watching the numerous birds, the sunset, and stargazing. Thank you.
