Vacation Rental Description
Vacation on your own private retreat. This charming, country log home sits on 4.5 acres of wooded property. The home has a gourmet eat in kitchen with fireplace and a wall of windows and a view of nature. The great room has an enormous granite fireplace and plenty of space for you and your guests to relax in. The library/office adjoins the great room and has a view of the back deck and garden.

A small bedroom with twin bed is located on the first floor. Two bedrooms on the second floor each have full beds. One of them is a hand crafted built in bed that is a perfect hide away for children of all ages. The MBR, also on the second floor, is large and beautifully appointed including a fireplace and its own kitchenette. An additional sleeping area is in the sunroom adjacent to the kitchen. The "sleeping nook" has a full bed and is often the favorite sleeping area because you wake to the sun rising over the trees.

The grounds are spectacular. Professionally landscaped gardens surround the pool and hot tub. The one of a kind swimming pool has been constructed with the granite ledge as its floor. You feel as if you are swimming in a naturally occurring mountain pool. There is a large lawn in the back yard for games and sports activities. Granite Lodge is built on old quarry property where the famous Stony Creek pink granite was once mined. The house is perched atop a hill and an old quarry pool, perfect for fishing and frogging, remains at the bottom. The long winding uphill driveway lets you know you are entering your own private retreat.

    Owners Profile
    Private Retreat on Connecticut Shoreline

    As a child every summer my family would vacation in a log cabin in the country. I have such wonderful memories of catching frogs and fireflies, swimming until goose bumps forced me out of the water and sitting around a fire toasting marshmallows, that when the opportunity came along for us to purchase our own log home nestled in the woods, my husband and I didn't have to think twice. At the time we were living on .10 of an acre. We were looking for some privacy and as an avid gardener, I was excited about having enough land to really be able to get my hands dirty! We purchased Granite Lodge and never looked back. The peace, serenity and joy it has brought us both can not be measured. Now we have gotten a bit older and are ready for something new. We are living on our boat and traveling the U.S. coastline. A new adventure for us and the opportunity to share all that we love about Granite Lodge with you.

    Granite Lodge is conveniently locatd just 20 minutes from the restaurants, museums, theater, Yale University and the many other cultural and family activities New Haven has to offer. Beach and boating are half that distance. Enjoy a Thimble Island cruise departing from neighboring Stony Creek or take a day trip to Mystic Aquarium or Mystic Seaport. Do you think you would like to try your hand at gambling? Both Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun casinos are within driving distance and offer gambling and celebrity entertainment. A day spent on the historic Essex steam train and river boat will be enjoyed by all. Does shopping makes you smile, it's a 20 minute trip down the shoreline to the outlet stores at Clinton Crossing. If staying close to home is your preference, just down the road is the quaint and historical town of Guilford. It is a family friendly town with beaches, parks, playgrounds, historic houses to tour, fine restaurants and fairs and events on the green throughout the summer. And, right in your own backyard, Westwood hiking trails, fishing in a quarry pool, swimming in the granite swimming pool. At Granite Lodge it's all ther waiting for you.
