Luxurious country guest house/renovated barn

Welcome to this peaceful guest house in the country just two hours from NYC or Boston. Cook in, dine out, hike, go to the beaches, watch the sunset on the CT River, sit by the fire pit in the alpaca field or the adirondack chairs in the orchard, go for a bike ride through the hills of Lyme and across the river to Chester via the ferry... These are some of my favorite things to do here at the farm. Follow us at flatrockfarmct . c o m! For immediate responses, please call/text 212/987/0933. The space Set on an historic property, this guest house has been renovated and furnished for the sophisticated visitor. The house has rustic charm in its structure that is balanced by the worldly and eclectic elegance of its furnishings. It is set off from the main house for partial privacy - we do share a driveway, but I am respectful of your privacy. The fully furnished top of the line gourmet kitchen has been recently built and offers custom cabinetry, Miele and Sub Zero appliances as well as most kitchen tools imaginable. There is an expansive food pantry replete with most any staple you may need to enjoy cooking during your stay. I just ask that if you use something other than flour/sugar/spices, that you replace it. The dining area seats up to six with the built in table extender (table linens are in the chest next to the door along with serving pieces). Outdoors there is Frontgate cushioned teak seating, a Weber grill, an “egg,” and, for cooler evening relaxation, a propane fueled fire pit. The living room is perfect for entertaining a large group or family with multiple seating options, a wood burning stove and smart TV. The furnishings are largely a combination of Grange Furniture (available through decorators only) and internationally sourced art and antiques from the owner's own collection. The lower bedroom offers two twin beds and a full bath with comfortable cotton (flannel in winter if you’d like) linens. There are extra pillows/linens in the armoire. The second level of this house is an extraordinary master suite with palatial arched windows (from Choate Rosemary Hall) and views of an open field and barn. This room boasts a king sized bed dressed in high end linens, a sitting area, a chaise lounge for comfortable reading, and a smart television to stream your favorite channels. There is a dresser for storage. A small but full bath completes the upstairs bedroom. The beds sleep four and I have additional sleeping options (featherbed covered twin cots and/or inflatable Queen mattress) for additional guests but four is the optimal number of adult visitors. Lyme is an upscale country destination with gourmet restaurants, farmers markets, endless hiking trails, numerous kayaking locations as well as world class beaches, all just minutes away. Lyme is two hours from NYC or Boston on the CT Shoreline. I am happy to help with any plans you would like to make and are happy to offer eggs for breakfast, fresh from our own chickens. We have picnic baskets, beach drinkware and plates, blankets, coolers and other accessories available for a beach picnic or a night of outdoor music at one of many local venues. We are pet friendly too! More information is available on our website FlatRockFarmCT, or for immediate responses, please call/text 212/987/0933. I look forward to welcoming you to the farm! -Caryn Guest access The guest house is entirely open for guest use. I occasionally set up a wood fire pit in the alpaca field and am happy to do so on request . The barns may be messy so I prefer no guests visit the animal enclosures but feel free to roam the property! Other things to note The house was an old barn. It is rustic. This is a farm. The furnishings are high end, eclectic and international. This would not, however, be a good choice for those with a minimalist aesthetic, or need for a sterile environment. just saying. If there is anything less than a 5-star rating, please let me know so I can fix it for you and/or for future guests!
