The Bethlem Lake House, Lake Side Relaxation!  |  House in Bethlehem Village

City life is a distant memory as songbirds greet you in the morning. Wrap up your work from home in the cozy loft before exploring beautiful Litchfield county. Hike nearby White Memorial or make use of the two kayaks or standup paddle boards onsite, and be sure to cool off with a swim off your private dock!

Wind down with dinner from the wood fired grill and savor a nightcap from your visit to one of the local wineries or distilleries. Enjoy!
The space
A cozy one bedroom lakehouse, this property is ideally suited for two adults.

Four legged guests are welcome, and pet food bowls are available under the sink. Off leash on the property is fine, but the lake and chipmunks can be all too tempting! There have been bear and snake sightings in the County, though we have not seen one nearby.

Foodies will enjoy the kitchen stocked with high end culinary gear. Senseo coffee maker, pour over and stovetop espresso makers are available to get your morning going. Global kitchen knives, All Clad and Le Creuset pots, pans and utensils will help you create that perfect meal, and there is an abundance of glassware to suit your favorite wine or cocktail pairings. There are three barstools in the eat in kitchen, and two more on the deck for dining al fresco.

The living room is decorated In calming, neutral tones. The sofa and two lounge chairs are relaxing and offer a great place to lounge with a good book or just stare at the lake.

The bedroom is located on the same floor, behind the kitchen. It has a plush mattress with topper which offers two firmness options: one half of the mattress is soft and the other half is firm. A small built in closet has shelves, hangers, a luggage rack and iron & ironing board.

Outside, the wrap around deck has several seating options and its staircase leads directly to the lake. In addition to the indoor shower, there is semi-private outdoor shower on the side of the house.

Kayaks (2) and stand up paddle boards (2) are all stored under the deck and available for use during your stay, along with other floating mats and noodles.

A Yoga mat, kettle bells, pilates and resistance bands can be found in the little bench next the entry door.

You may come to explore but you may not want to leave!

The property is not well suited for children or persons with physical limiations. There are a lot of stairs, a lofted area, and no boundaries or safeguards to the lake.
