Life in the city is great - you've got easy access to museums, restaurants, entertainment, and so much more. However, it can also feel a bit stifling. Many of us who live in the state's more urban areas may feel like we don't get a chance to see much greenery, or reconnect with nature. One great way to remedy that is to enjoy a few days away in a more pastoral setting. If that sounds like just the ticket for rest and relaxation, we think you'll love the spot we have featured today. The Spirit Horse Farm is a stunning Airbnb in Kent, CT where you can immerse yourself in Connecticut's beauty, relish in touches of rural luxury, and even enjoy the company of some adorable critters! This is one of the coolest vacation rentals in Connecticut - check it out:

The Barn at Spirit Horse Farm is the perfect place to stay if you've been looking for something tranquil and pastoral.
