The Pool Cottage at Narrow Valley Estate

Nestled in a narrow valley in Litchfield County, this charming guest cottage is located on a stunning 275 acre estate at the end of a mile long private drive. With its own private pool and hot tub nestled within stone walls, it is perfect for couples looking for a romantic retreat. Rural, but not remote, we are a 2+ mile walk to the village of Cornwall, and a 25 minute drive to Litchfield, Kent, Sharon, and Falls Village. The space Step back in time, as you drive through the gates of the estate, down the long and winding pebbled private road. Past the stream, past the 100 year old gate house, past the water fall and ponds …. Finally, you approach the main house and its guest cottage. Located approximately 150 feet from the main house, behind a walled garden, the guest cottage enjoys a private pool (unheated) and a heated spa for the personal use of our Cottage guests. The guest cottage was originally built as an artist studio, and then expanded to include a small kitchen, bathroom, closet and bedroom, with a working fireplace. It is the perfect space for a romantic weekend away. Guest access Guests are welcome to explore the estate and to hike the hills around the property, but do so at their own risk, realizing that the estate abuts a large nature preserve that is home to ticks, wild geese, ducks, porcupines, deer, turkeys, foxes, and bears. Additionally, the property has a significant number of streams, waterfalls, and ponds, which can be dangerous for anyone who is not a proficient swimmer. For anyone planning on exploring, we highly recommend bringing hiking shoes that you don't mind getting muddy. Access to the property is limited to our Airbnb guests who are spending the night on the property and does not include access to the property by individuals who are not our Airbnb guests. Please message us before you book your stay, if you have questions. Other things to note Please note that The Cottage was originally designed as an artist retreat and does not have a TV, though it has excellent wifi. In addition, we are nestled in a Narrow Valley that does not get cell reception, so this really is your chance to unplug and relax. While you will be able to receive emails and calls when you are inside The Cottage and on wifi, once you step outside your phone will not be able to get a cell signal. Additional fees apply for any events (including photoshoots) you may wish to hold during your stay on the estate that involve any people who are not Airbnb guests staying on the property. Please message us for more details. In addition to The Cottage, we also have The Lodge, which has 2 bedrooms and a sleeping cubby with a twin bed.
