Perfect location for New Milford guests 10/10 experience
My friend and I just recently visited New Milford, CT for the Gilmore Girls event. This was the perfect place to stay. The drive was not far from town but far enough we felt safe and didn’t have traffic. It was clean, comfortable and they had even left a giftcard for a local coffee shop which we tried and LOVED. The house offered plenty of appliances and the bathroom heated tile was a bonus. The drive to the house is windy but a beautiful drive. No complaint but would love if they offered wash clothes and kitchen towels. Would stay here again in a heartbeat if we visit the area.

Perfect all around
Loved everything about this property. The lodgings were cozy, open, and clean. Not having a a stove wasn't an issue for us...we just planned accordingly. Our favorite feature was the pool, though. I needed somewhere to stay while recovering from surgery and this was so comfortable for me, but also nice for my family as well. It would have been nice to bring our small dog, though, even if it meant paying a pet deposit for potential damages, but I understand their reasoning. Just something to potentially consider in the future. Thanks for a great stay!

Beautiful place
This was a wonderful little modern cabin in a beautifully wooded area. My son and I had a great time snowboarding at Mohawk mountain and coming home to an awesome place to relax.

Highly recommended!
Thank you Anandah for a wonderful time at your guest home in Kent!
Property is tastefully renovated with a modern feel.
The area is quiet and relaxing but just a few minutes away from restaurants etc in New Preston.
The pool was a real treat when we stayed mid summer.
Anandah was very responsive to any questions we had prior to our stay and the check in process was seamless.
Overall an excellent stay and we hope to return next summer.

Mini Ski Trip
My family and I really enjoyed our stay for two nights while we skied at Mohawk Mountain. The place was updated, cute and clean! Remote enough to have peace and quiet at night, but not so far out that you can't get to a restaurant within 10 minutes or so. Thanks very much!
