A Rustic Farm Hideaway in Connecticut That’s the Ultimate Fall Getaway

When you get away from the busy coastline, Connecticut is full of small towns and big surprises that I haven't even started to fully explore. The Nutmeg State is packed with beautiful parks and natural destinations that make for an ideal early-fall getaway if you're looking to decompress after a busy and hot summer—and you won't do better than one farmstay in Connecticut. Located in the tiny town of Canaan, in the northwest corner of the state, you'll find a luxurious farm hideaway that's ideal for a couple's getaway. This rustic but comfortable farmhouse sleeps two, but the biggest selling point is what you'll find outside. This is a genuine farmstay, with all the hallmarks of one, and that means you'll be starting your morning with a big surprise. As fall sets in, the area surrounding this getaway will be even more beautiful, so it's the perfect time to escape the big city and head down to the farm!

When you set foot on this farmstay for the first time, you'd be forgiven for thinking you just set foot on the set of The Waltons, or on the Kent Family Farm in Smallville. This place really is a classic, charming farm that looks rustic, but packs a lot of surprises to offer a vacation that combines old-school charm and new-school comfort.

The quarters are small but anything but tight. For two people, there's more than enough room for everything, including a full kitchen, a TV, books, and a pool table. There's even fast WiFi, if you plan to make this a working vacation. The vibe inside keeps the farm feel going, but it's packed with modern conveniences.

The one bedroom comes with a queen bed, with plenty of room for two people. The pillows and bedding are soft, and the window in the back ensures you can wake up to the beautiful view of the surrounding area each morning.

And when we talk about the view, we mean it—this is one of the most pastoral landscapes in all of Connecticut, complete with mountains in the background. As the fall season settles in, this stay is going to be more beautiful than ever, and the deck is a perfect place for breakfast. And if you're wondering what to cook up, the farm offers a basket of fresh eggs as part of your stay, lain right here in the chicken coop!

The outdoor pool is open through Labor Day, if you're planning a late-summer escape. If not, the night view is stunning around here, and there's no better way to end the day than by hanging out by the firepit, cooking hot dogs and marshmallows, and looking up at the stars.

Have you enjoyed an escape at this farmstay in Connecticut before? If not, September and October are wide-open for bookings, so it's the perfect time to tell your travel partner about this article and book your own stay on the official Airbnb listing. Canaan is a very laid-back place, but you'll want to make time to head into town and visit Connecticut's only accordion museum.
