House in Cornwall, CT
Reasons to book
About this house rental
Surrounded by nature, the property invites you to slow down—read, fish, or explore the woods, waterfalls, and scenic trails just outside your door. Time moves differently here, offering space to unwind and recharge. Surrounded by another 600 acres of forest, we share the estate with herds of deer, flocks of turkeys, our favorite goose couple who come every April to give birth to their goslings, as well as the occasional foraging black bear. It's important to remember that these are wild animals that should never be approached or fed. We respect their space, and they tend to give a wide birth to humans, as a result.
The charming village of Cornwall is just two-miles away. Along the way, you’ll pass open fields and farms, with opportunities to visit cows, browse the summer farmers market, pick up fresh produce near the library, or enjoy local specialties from Coltsfoot Valley Farm.
Within a 30-minute drive, discover the quintessential New England towns of Litchfield, Kent, Salisbury, Lakeville, and Falls Village, known for their boutique shopping and excellent dining. For outdoor adventure, the Appalachian Trail, Kent Falls, and canoeing on the Housatonic River are all just 15 minutes away.
Whether you’re gathering for a meal or unwinding after a day of exploring, the Gate House offers a peaceful, welcoming retreat—and a memorable way to experience the Litchfield Hills at their best.
