About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Relax or be active! The choice is yours in this pet-friendly family home.

Whether you're looking for a place to relax, a place to play, or simply a place to rest your head, this is it. Our 3 bedroom 2 bath home is located at the end of a dead end road in the picturesque Northwest Connecticut town of Norfolk. This simple Victorian era home has been updated with all you need for a modern lifestyle, surrounded by nature.

Just a short walk to town, you can enjoy the long-standing Norfolk Farmer's market on Saturdays from May-September. While in town, check out the Norfolk Historical Society or the Norfolk Library. Interested in live music? Norfolk has the Yale University Summer Chamber Music Festival or Infinity Hall all year long!

Want to just hang out at the house? There are puzzles and board games, a tv and gaming console, and lawn games with space to spare! There is a wood burning fireplace insert to keep you toasty on the cold days. There is a wood burning fire pit table for those times when you want a fire outside, as well.

Want to explore further? There are nearby opportunities for swimming in lakes, fishing in rivers, playing disc golf, hiking, etc.

Great place to explore the area
We were in town for a curling bonspiel at the Norfolk Curling Club. It gave us great access as well as good location to explore some of the cute towns in the area.

Lovely house and nice area to stay!
We stayed here to see some local family and it was a wonderful spot. House is perfect for family gathering and the kids and dogs enjoyed the large yard. The house is equipped with everything you could need. Downtown Norfolk is beautiful and the Berkshire Country Store had the best breakfast after our hike at Campbell’s Falls. We will be back again!

Family weekend
Visiting family in Norfolk area, this house was everything we needed and more. Though we didn’t spend much time there, the beds were comfortable and especially enjoyed the screen porch with morning coffee. We will definitely come back for another visit in the future.

Beautiful Home In Norfolk
We had an amazing week at this house. The home is very nice, clean and comfortable. The privacy and yard was great for our dogs. We got to see deer in the backyard. The kitchen has everything you could ever want and need! Thank you so much for sharing your house with us. The location was perfect for us to visit with family and friends, go antiquing, apple picking and just relaxing.

I couldn’t believe this house popped up when I was trying to find a place to stay ’near Norfolk’! We have family in town and there is never enough space for us all to stay overnight… This house is amazing and has everything you need for a home away from home. There are brand new kitchen appliances, including a magical stove that boils water in seconds! The hosts are very friendly, attentive to question and genuinely hope you have a wonderful time. I have already requested to stay for a week next year and the entire family is psyched!

Relaxing and Pleasant
The home is very comfortable and nestled where you’re almost surrounded by trees. They have a large yard if people want to play lawn games out in the grass. The main floor is large and spacious and inviting. The large deck in the back is a wonderful addition and the screened in part of the deck is my favorite. We spent many nights outside in the screened in section, away from bugs, enjoying the beautiful evening. We roasted marshmallows on a mini stove that you put on the table out there. My other favorite room is the kitchen. It has many amenities which made cooking for my family easier. (Our daughter who is 21 liked those two rooms the best as well). The bedrooms are upstairs. Along with another full bathroom. Both bathrooms are well done. There are many things to do around the area. Just depends on what you want to do, and how far you want to travel. We had a great relaxing vacation! Thank you!

Super comfy and nice location
This was a great place to stay with family and friends. We instantly felt comfortable and at home. The beds were very comfortable! The screened in porch was awesome to just hang out but also got good wifi to be able to work remotely. The kitchen was well equipped and also a good spot for everyone to be (tho it did get hot while we were there). The upstairs bedrooms have a/c but not the downstairs rooms which wasn’t a big deal. There was a gorgeous show each night put on by hundreds of fireflies! It is well located a quick drive from other towns and walkable to the tiny village center. The host was very chill and responded quickly. A great stay, thanks!
