5 Bedroom House in Morris

Charming 3-bedroom lakefront furnished cabin and 2-bedroom guest cottage that share a large, sunny patio, the very best view on Bantam lake, and your own dock right out the back door. Located on private Deer Island, only five miles from the town of Litchfield, this one-of-a-kind rental is ideal for extended families or groups of friends. The two houses easily sleep 10, and can accommodate more with the couches in the two living rooms (and there are two blow-up beds available - one twin and one full). Dogs are allowed with prior notice, the property is completely fenced in except for water-side and is equipped with dog bowls and beds so that everyone can feel at home!
Long called “The Magic House” by friends, decorated in cottage-cozy style inspired by fairy tales, this is an ideal spot for those who love to stay in unique places – and both houses have all you might need (pots and pans, dishes, dishwashers, linens, bath and beach towels, etc.).
We are happy to answer any questions about the property or area but if you would like to know whether the DATES you are interested in are available, all you need to do is plug the dates you are interested in into the calendar. If they are already taken, they will be blocked out - the calendar is always up to date. Likewise, if you would like to know the FEES just plug in the dates and hit the "Get Instant Quote" button and you will see the total amount, which is non-negotiable.
This property is enjoyable year-round. There is a huge bluestone patio with stone fire pit, full gas grill, teak furniture and built in outdoor hutch with a small sink and two small refrigerators for entertaining. In summer, with the fishing rods, kayaks, a canoe and a 60+ foot dock with a large landing at the end, the property is ideal for spending your days and evenings outdoors. If you grow tired of the sun (or in the event of a shower) take shelter and possibly a nap in the shade on the porch swing. Or head to the guest house to watch movies from the extensive DVD collection, on the 70" HD screen. In the fall, you can’t beat the beauty of the New England foliage – with literally the longest view across the lake, facing White’s Woods Conservation area, the vantage point from your rocking chair on the porch is unobstructed by houses or developments. And as a winter rental, this is the best spot on the lake for ice fishing – right out the back door. Set your tip ups and watch for the flags out the picture window in the living room, by a roaring fire. With wood stoves in both houses, tons of classic games and books, wi-fi and cable TV, there is no better place to curl up and relax.
• Main house has three bedrooms with double or queen beds in each, full bath with shower on second floor, powder room on first floor and full kitchen with propane stove, large refrigerator and dishwasher. The living room has a large wood stove insert in the fireplace, TV and dining area. There is also a washer and dryer on the second floor. A large generator is connected to the main house and turns on automatically in case of any power outage (note: If necessary, an extension cord can be run from the generator to the guest house to provide electricity).
• Guest house has two bedrooms, one with a twin and a trundle pull-out, the other with a futon bed that sleeps two. There is a full bathroom with shower, a kitchen with an electric stove, smaller refrigerator and dishwasher. The large living room has a woodstove, TV and pull out couch.
PLEASE NOTE:
* Our minimum stay is 7 nights.
* We require all renters be at least 25-years old.
* No smoking is allowed in either house.

Summary: Best thing about the house is the lovely view of the lake from the covered porch which kept us nice and cool during some very hot summer days. It’s a rustic, comfortable house, very well equipped which was a blessing as we happened to be staying when Storm Isaias hit. The generator kicked in and so we we were fortunate not to lose electricity or WiFi connection. The owner and property manager were very quick to respond to any of our inquiries. Having a separate house for the grown up children was great but there is no WiFi in the second house which means anyone working needs to do so in the main house. The grounds and the patio/fire pit area would benefit from some freshening up. We had plenty of hydrangeas to fill the table vases which was a nice touch. Overall a very relaxing place for the whole family.

Summary: This property has two quaint cottages one with direct waterfront and one just behind (It was perfect for the kids but would be great for just about any small group) Janet and her property caretaker we're a pleasure to chat with and we're responsive and caring.

Summary: Cozy. Beautiful views. (Make sure to put some coffee on and wake for sunset one morning during your stay; Even if your not an early riser, you could always go back to bed..... it is vacation). Great setup for family with teens. Outdoor areas could use some attention related to overall cleanliness and upkeep. Suggest bringing your own fishing poles, life jackets, particularly adult sizes, and inflatables. We were glad we did. (Sadly, It's likely people just don't take care to treat these items respectfully.) Home is fantastic, plenty of supplies/cooking utensils/ towels/games/books etc. Basically just pack up your food items, ICE, personal items and put your feet up to enjoy this great home. Owner and caretaker's communication were friendly, responsive and overall excellent! We had a great stay!! We will be looking forward to hopefully visit again!!

Summary: We had a wonderful week at this rustic cottage(s). Our son-in-law is from Denmark and commented that this was a quintessential American holiday - just what one would imagine as a perfect week in a cabin on a lake! We all agree! The house had every amenity needed from modern appliances to kayaks and huge floats to while away the day on the lake!

Summary: The house is interesting and fun. There is something to find around every corner. The property is beautiful it’s like a fairy garden. Having a separate cottage for the teenagers was great. We used the outdoor kitchen every day. Can’t wait to come back.

Summary: We had a lovely time - a couple of bumps in the roads, but everything was addressed in an extremely timely manner. The location is spectacular and the view even better. We brought our own fishing poles but used the kayaks and life jackets, the kids had a blast, so easy to watch them from the dock.

Summary: This was our 2nd time staying at Janet's home. It is so comfortable and has everything that you need. We especially love using the kayaks every day and hanging by the fire pit at night. Would love to come back in the fall or winter to see how pretty the lake would look .
