Welcome to The Little Creek Cabin!
Built in 1930, The Little Creek Cabin sits nestled next to the Wimisink Brook, where you can listen to the sounds of the flowing water all day long.
Nearby, you’ll find many cute Connecticut towns to explore. Kent, New Milford, Washington, and New Preston are just a few of our favorites. Candlewood Lake & Squantz Pond State Park are a short drive away, where you can spend the day at the beach, rent a boat, or bring our inflatable kayaks to get out on the water.
If hiking is your thing, you’ll find endless nearby trails. Just down the road, you’ll also find many antique stores and the famous Elephant’s Trunk Flea Market.
LOCATION
The cabin sits right next to Route 39, a main road with daytime noise. There is a speed limit of 40mph. This does not affect the privacy you will experience but we want to make sure all guests are aware of the location before booking. There will be car noise with windows open or while outside, but the sounds of the creek with drown out most of it.
The house was built before the road was :-)
Please consider this when booking.
Outside, our wood-fired hot tub is a show-stopper. Located right next to the creek, it`s where you can come to relax and soak away the day. You can also hang out in the hammock and listen to the sounds of the creek.
Roast s’mores in our stone fire pit while listening to the creek. A BBQ grill and picnic table are where you can gather and soak in the sun. On the porch, you’ll find a small table and chairs— the perfect place to enjoy the creek with your morning coffee.
Enjoy our creekside outdoor shower! It’s the perfect place to rinse off after splashing in the creek.
Inside, our cozy cabin is filled with tons of morning light. The living room has the most comfortable sofa (it turns into a bed!), pellet stove, and tv with any streaming service you may need. If you want to unplug you`ll find plenty of board games, books, and a Bluetooth record player.
The kitchen is stocked with almost anything you’ll need during your stay. We provide some basic spices, bakeware, cookware, etc.
The bedroom has a queen-sized bed, desk, and chair. Here you can work from home, or leave all your work at home…
