Over forty private wooded acres, a mountain stream, and hiking trails that lead to your own waterfall. This three-bedroom rustic stone cottage in the heart of the Litchfield Hills is the kind of country rental that's hard to find and harder to leave. A screen porch overlooks the running water, the living room has handsome exposed beams and opens to a covered porch, and wood-burning fireplaces make evenings in the formal dining room feel exactly right. One bedroom on the main level; the primary and third bedrooms up a level. The setting is quintessential Connecticut, located off a scenic country roads lined with antique homes. Macedonia Brook State Park at your doorstep, the village of Kent just minutes away, Metro-North is close by, and New York City just two hours away.
