Vacation rentals in Barkhamsted

A beautiful home and the views were breathtaking on the lake. Although, it was frozen. All the amenities we needed and more. Close to skiing and tubing. Owner Sara was very attentive to respond quickly. We just wanted a getaway place for a family weekend. The road was narrow and very icy. Would go back but not in the winter. Summer and the Fall I think would be best. Lots more things to do in the nicer weather months. Thank you Sara for your hospitality.

We were in the area to meet our son's fiance's extended family. Nathania's home was perfect! We had 7 adults and 5 little boys ages 9, 7, 5, 2, and 2 months. There was plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the time together. The hot tub, kayaks, and foosball table were especially popular! We were able to host a family dinner with guests which was wonderful. Everything we needed for preparation was readily available. Lots of beautiful parks, playgrounds, hiking areas. Plenty to keep everyone entertained! Nathania was extremely kind, gracious, and responsive to questions. We had absolutely zero issues. So grateful for a wonderful vacation. Thank you for sharing your idyllic home with us. We hope to visit again!!!

We had a wonderful week at Corina's house while out for a family event! The house was spotless and the kitchen was stocked with everything we could need. The outside space was just as amazing. We had a great campfire one night, enjoyed using the grill, and our dog loved being able to run around the large yard. I'm sure we'll be back next year!

I came here in the dead of winter for a writer's retreat with a fellow writer- AND I WOULD DO IT AGAIN! It was a beautiful and inspiring place to write. Perched on Andover Lake, it was too cold to frolic outside but that was actually liberating. There was a rocking chair-ottoman combo in the master bedroom looking out on the lake and watching it freeze while I worked on some writing was so peaceful and perfect. When I needed to switch it up, there was a writer's desk with the same view and I can not overstate how nice and productive it was to work from it. I am sure in the summer it's a really fun stay (there were kayaks and a dock for swimming) but I actually loved being isolated in such an idyllic place. It's near a few other homes but the road was low traffic enough for a cold weather run around half the lake. Marcie was super helpful with suggestions for places to eat. We didn't actually use the recs - but that only speaks to how nice the house was and how hard it was to leave!

Terrific space. Beautiful tree view thru big beautiful windows (especially nice when the snow fell.). An ample space with rooms for every need, each perfectly appointed with appropriate furnishing. All details carefully considered. We loved being there. Cleaning fee was high but the space was worth it.

Henry's beautiful home and yard provided the perfect getaway for 5 friends who try to get together at least once a year, coming from 3 different states. The large rooms, clean/fresh bed linens and towels, two full bathrooms and spacious living room adjacent to the kitchen gave us jus t the right setting in which to enjoy each other's company. Breakfast at the kitchen table overlooking the backyard was bright and sunny first thing in the morning. We especially liked the backyard patio, which gets sun all day long. After a cold rainy start to our stay, we were able to enjoy a warm afternoon on the patio - sunshine, blue skies, birds, budding trees and the soothing sound of the water fountain and small pond . We found great restaurants in both Kent and in Litchfield. As an avid gardener, I can just picture Henry's beautiful landscaping when all is in bloom later in the season. Very comfortable place to hang out! We wouldn't hesitate to give others a recommendation for Henry's home.

Garrin’s place was even better than portrayed. The grounds are stunning. Many beautiful trails adorned with statues and sitting groves. The hot tub -simply. Amazing! Pet friendly for real, with food water bowls and treats. The decor is funky and cool. The beds are super comfortable. Just superb. Our family had a great tome and will be back soon!

Welcoming, tidy and clean home. Fully functional and amenable to families with young children. A perfect winter getaway spot given its proximity to Otis Ridge. Extremely easy to ski in and ski out. Mary Kay is a lovely host- extremely responsive, helpful and flexible.
