PETS
Well-behaved dogs are allowed with prior approval (and $100 fee per pet, per stay). Please clean up after your pet both inside and outside the house. Sorry, cats are not permitted. Failure to disclose any pets in advance may result in additional fees or penalties.
If you are traveling with a service animal, we kindly ask that you let us know in advance.
SMOKING
No smoking is permitted inside the house. If you must smoke, please do so outside and dispose of butts properly..
EXCESSIVE CLEANING FEES
We kindly ask that guests treat the home with care and respect. Should the property require cleaning beyond the standard turnover—due to excessive mess or incidents involving bodily fluids such as blood, vomit, or waste—a $500 fee may apply. Any linens or furnishings damaged beyond repair will also be subject to replacement charges. These situations are considered outside the scope of routine housekeeping and require specialized attention to ensure the safety and well-being of our team.
MID-STAY CLEANING REQUIREMENT
For stays of 28 nights or longer, a guest-paid mid-stay cleaning is required. The cleaning will be scheduled at a mutually convenient time during your stay. The cost varies by property and will be confirmed before scheduling.
ACCURATE GUEST COUNT
The number of guests must be accurately disclosed at the time of booking. While we don’t charge extra for additional guests up to the home’s maximum occupancy, this information is essential so we can properly prepare and stock the home. Please note that penalties may apply if guest counts are inaccurate or intentionally misrepresented.
OUTSIDE SERVICE PROVIDERS
Outside staff such as private chefs, massage therapists, or other service providers are welcome, but prior approval is required before they come on-site.
SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENTS
Guests may be required to sign a rental agreement. If applicable, it will be sent after the booking is confirmed.
SEPTIC
Please be mindful of the septic system and do not flush anything down the toilets or drains other than toilet paper. This includes any and all personal hygiene products, baby wipes, bleaches and strong chemical cleaners.
Mohawk Mountain Retreat is set amidst the picturesque New England tableaux of Litchfield County, Connecticut, and has the outdoor pursuits of the foothills of the Berkshire Mountains on its doorstep. Elegantly-designed and spacious, the home presents a classic pitched roof, dormer windows, exposed beams, and a striking red brick chimney.
Enter through the front door into a cozy sitting room with a gas fireplace which leads into an open concept kitchen, dining and living area with a TV and wood burning fireplace.

One guest bedroom is located on the main floor with a queen size bed looking out through the floor-to-ceiling bay windows with a view of the front garden. Another guest bedroom is located above the garage offering a king size bed and ensuite bathroom with a tub/shower combo.
Upstairs, there are three bedrooms including the master bedroom which offers a king size bed, TV, ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower and views out to the gazebo and pond. One guest bedroom has two twin beds that can be converted into a king while the other offers a double bed. A shared bathroom with a clawfoot tub & shower combo is conveniently located on the landing between the 1st and 2nd floors.
The grounds feature delightful stone walls, perennial plantings, a children’s play area, a fire pit and include a sweeping bluestone patio with comfy seating, an umbrella for shade, grill and dining table making this the perfect place for al fresco meals or evening get togethers.
