Located in rural Litchfield County, within a scenic 1.5-hour drive from NYC. Roxbury and the well-known neighboring Washington are exceptional for their excellent restaurants, spas, antique shops, art galleries, boutiques, farms, historic homes, gardens, vineyards, distilleries, and orchards. The Gilmore Girls creator modelled Stars Hollow, the perfect Connecticut town, after Washington and the Independence Inn after the Mayflower Inn. It is the current or former home to many artists, writers, actors and Wall Street executives – referred to as "more Vermont, than Vermont" and "the un-Hamptons". Nature preserves, Lake Waramaug, and the Shepaug River offer extensive hiking, biking, and water activities. Mohawk and Sundown Ski Areas , Lime Rock Raceway, and Quassy Amusement Park are all a short drive.

We had a wonderful time at this house. The house was charming and had everything we needed for a week with our kids, including a heated pool that was warm enough to use in the winter. The location is great - near several cute towns and not far from snow tubing. Stephen was a wonderful host and super responsive throughout our stay.
