Flat Rock Farm offers visitors a sophisticated home in the pastoral town of Lyme, CT, an easy two hour drive from NYC or Boston. Whether your objective is a family vacation, gathering of friends, or romantic escape, Flat Rock Farm offers visitors the perfect getaway. Set on an historic property, this guest house has been renovated and furnished for the discriminating traveler. The house has rustic charm in its structure that is balanced by the worldly elegance of its furnishings - an eclectic combination of Grange Furniture and internationally sourced art and antiques from the owner's own travels.
The living room is perfect for group entertaining with multiple seating options, a wood burning stove (perfect for fall leaf seekers and snowy winter get-aways) and TV equipped with Roku (Netflix and Pandora set up) and a DVD player. The dining area seats up to six with the built in table extender (a selection of quality table linens and serving pieces are available for your use).
The fully furnished top of the line gourmet kitchen has been recently rebuilt and offers custom cabinetry, Miele and Sub Zero appliances as well as most kitchen tools imaginable. There is an expansive food pantry replete with most any staple you may need to enjoy cooking during your stay. I just ask that if you use something other than flour/sugar/spices or other basics, that you replace it.
Outdoors there is cushioned teak seating, a propane grill and a heater for cooler nights. I have a charcoal grill and a smoker I'd be happy to share too if you are so inclined... The fire pit in the field is surrounded by teak chairs and garden stools - perfect for making s'mores after a day at the beach or enjoying a cocktail after a day of activity! There is yet another Weber propane grill at the fire pit for guest use.
The second level of this house is an extraordinary master suite with palatial arched windows (from Choate Rosemary Hall) and views of the field and barn. This room boasts a king sized bed dressed in Ralph Lauren Suite linens, a sitting area, a chaise lounge by the television, streaming video from Netflix, and a DVD player. A small but full bath completes the upstairs bedroom.
The lower bedroom offers two twin beds and a full bath with either Ralph Lauren or Nancy Koltes bed linens. We have additional sleeping options - two twin cots with feather beds as well as a queen sized raised inflatable bed (the Frontgate version of an air mattress). Additional pillows, blankets, and comforters are available and located in each bedroom.
As a guest in the guest house, feel free to cook in, dine out, hike the seemingly endless trails, go to the beaches, watch the sunset on the CT River, sit by the fire pit in the alpaca field or the adirondack chairs in the orchard, go for a bike ride through the hills of Lyme and across the river to Chester via the ferry... These are some of my favorite things to do here at the farm. There are numerous farmers markets, abundant water access for boating of all kinds, and access to most anything you may have left behind. Lyme and the surrounding communities are also home to numerous galleries, museums, gourmet restaurants, beaches, marinas, and even a couple of casinos.
