Charming 1870 cape cottage in Litchfield

A beautifully renovated cottage just minutes away from Bantam and Litchfield, this is the perfect getaway for a couple or family to visit Litchfield County. Shops and recreation are close by but you are in a peaceful and bucolic setting with views of the Litchfield Land Trust forest and minutes from White Memorial. The master bedroom has a modern ensuite bathroom. There is plenty of room for up to three kids in an open second floor space. Enjoy the outdoor bluestone terrace for sunsets and grilling.

Just a wonderful cottage on a quiet street just outside of charming Bantam. The hosts are lovely and helpful and the cottage is very well equipped. The pool was perfect for the Indian Summer weather as well. I’m sure we will be back.

We were hoping for a quiet, romantic getaway—and this cottage delivered beautifully. From the moment we stepped inside, we felt right at home. The pictures really do capture the place well. The space is cozy, well cared for, and struck the perfect balance of nostalgic charm and modern comfort. The bathroom tub was an absolute highlight—ideal for unwinding and reconnecting. We also really appreciated the thoughtful guide left by the host, which helped us discover a few local gems we might’ve otherwise missed. This stay was exactly what we needed.

Idyllic Litchfield Getaway

Jeffrey’s cottage is perfect for a Litchfield getaway - quiet and peaceful yet within close striking distance to restaurants, shops, etc. The space is well-equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay and communication was a breeze. Our only hope is that next time we’ll be able to stay longer!

Our stay in Litchfiled was wonderful. The town offers all of the New England charm we were hoping for when we picked it. Jeff's cottage is beautiful and a great size for our party which included 3 adults and 3 children.

Beautiful home with great spaces for kids in the single beds in the attic and adults on main floor master. If you’re looking for a getaway to stay and explore Litchfield or ski on Mohawk, this place is great.

Just perfect...

Just so lovely. Beautifully decorated, yet very functional. Kitchen is equipped with everything needed, and a Keurig! We were there in February through a cold spell and the heat works great! The owners are very available and all communication was prompt and so friendly. Great location, to downtown and Mohawk Mountain. Thank you for a great stay!

This property was lovely. As a former resident in CT, I appreciate the New England charm. The house was pristine. Unfortunately I was in for a memorial and during a snow storm. Jeffrey and his family were so accommodating and so kind to us. I highly recommend this home. I would not hesitate to stay there again.

Perfect Holiday Spot

We stayed at this lovely New England home for Christmas. We are originally from the area and traveled to spend the holidays with family. We were lucky enough to have a white Christmas and the kids were thrilled, as we now live in NC and don’t get snow often. The hosts were lovely and attentive, even bringing over a couple of sleds for us to use and we had a blast. Would definitely recommend to anyone for this perfect country setting spot, that is also convenient to restaurants and shopping.

Hosts were very accommodating and are next door. Property is beautiful. The home is spacious, comfortable, extremely clean and well-stocked, and has that wonderful New England charm. Jeff provided reccos for dining and nature that proved to be perfect. We missed the autumn colors by a week or so….so may just have to go back to enjoy that next year
