Photos and Description of the Norfolk vacation estate rental
Two homes, 30 acres, 14 bedrooms, 9 full baths - easily sleeps up to 30 guests!

These homes are rented separately or together as a whole property in order to accommodate larger parties. They are available for short-term or long-term rentals. Minimum rental rates do apply. The Estate Home comfortably sleeps 14 guests before resorting to couches and futons, while the Farmhouse will sleep 16. We also have two full size cribs that can be set in & Both homes are fully furnished. Beautiful 100% cotton bed linens and towels are provided for our guest’s comfort. The kitchen is well stocked with tasteful place settings to accommodate multiple family dinners. Basic herbs, spices, and condiments are provided, as well as pool towels, and swim toys. Multiple families are welcome. This is a very special luxury rental where we have anticipated and taken care of most of the hassles that tag along with renting a private home. Our goal is to provide your friends and family an atmosphere of beauty and ease that lends itself to restoring balance and health to our everyday stresses.

The Property: The two homes are located within short walking proximity of the other and are separated by a shared, sweeping, circular driveway. There is a beautiful spring-fed pond that is very clean and excellent for swimming or fishing (catch and release only) and an adjacent screened-in gazebo, as well as hot and cold-water outdoor shower. There is a propane grill for outdoor grilling and seasonal use of the trampoline, a wood-stocked outdoor fire pit and tennis coming soon. The winter offers a glorious back hill for sledding and ice on the pond for ice-skating. The grounds are beautifully maintained with gardens, woods and meadows along with expansive lawns. There is a 55 foot indoor swimming pool and hot tub which is available only to guests of the Estate house or groups that are renting the entire property; however, under certain circumstances the indoor pool may be negotiated for an additional fee to Farmhouse guests if the Estate house is not occupied during that time period.

The Estate House: This state-of-the-art modern home has polished, radiant-heated, walnut floors throughout with exposed metal girder beams, lath plaster, and mahogany screened windows that allow for spectacular views of the beautiful Haystack mountain state park the southern most Berkshire hill. The Boffi custom-built kitchen with indoor grill, six burner stove, double oven, two dishwashers, and abundant workspace is a cook’s dream. Appliances such as blenders, microwave, coffee maker, and cooking utensils are all provided. The Estate house boasts a full size, indoor pool with Jacuzzi. The pool is 55 feet long and 4 feet throughout and has a safety cover. Located next to the pool is the spa. There are 6 bedrooms in the Estate house. A king-size bedroom suite is located on the lower level. There are four more bedrooms on the second floor: one room with twin beds, perfectly suited for children, complete with toys and books. The three other bedrooms have full/queen beds and all have lovely views.

The farmhouse: The Farmhouse, over 200 years old, has been beautifully maintained and updated with a cook’s kitchen and central air conditioning. There is a six burner, industrial stove with double oven, griddle, and top browner. A pantry houses condiments and spices available for your use. Appliances include a microwave oven and coffee maker. There are wine glasses and place settings for 12. There is a television for DVD’s only; CD player and Ipod dock are all available to our guests. There is the master suite located on the ground floor. Upstairs there are four guest bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Two bedrooms have queen size beds, one full, and one twin. There is a finished “storybook” attic on the third floor with room for two sleepers this attic apartment is perfect for a babysitter, teenager(s), or couple who wants a bit more privacy. The dining room, which sits in the oldest part of the house, is stunning with wired candle sconces and a bay window, which reflects the beautiful evening light

Pheneomenal Property

5 of 5
Submitted: September 9, 2008 Stayed: July 2008
The property itself is beautiful, but after entering the homes, you will never want to leave. It is perfect for vacationing with a wide variety of people of different ages.

The property exceeded my expectations. The online description is accurate, but the property was better than what was described.

It was very clean and well-maintained, and the owners are incredibly friendly in addition to being knowledgeable and quick to answer questions.

I would definitely recommend this property to a friend. I'm thinking of going back after my husband and I have a few kids!

Truly A Slice Of Heaven

5 of 5
Submitted: January 4, 2013 Stayed: December 2012
I e-mailed BRP on 10/7/12 & was pleasantly surprised when Claudia, owner/manager, responded so promptly to my request. My husband & I thought this would be the perfect place for our family reunion. None of the reviews we read did this property the justice it deserves. Not only was every dealing w/Claudia pleasant, but Tony the caretaker was also a gem. The moment we stepped foot into the main home we turned to each other & smiled knowing it would be the perfect “getaway”. After touring the luxurious estate home & the charming farmhouse, we decided to seize the moment & book our week in Dec. The day we arrived, we settled into our amazing rooms. It was so hard to choose who got which bedroom as one was better than the next~they’re all fabulous. We got the master suite w/a comfy down couch in the sitting area, FP & amazing bathroom! Our suite featured a huge soaking tub & private balcony w/views of the pond. We also had a larger than life WIC w/a huge island topped w/calcutta marble. “WOW” is all we said the 1st few days we were there. We were in awe w/every single design detail & beautiful eclectic decor. We spent our lazy days in the steam rm & dry sauna treating ourselves to “spa/pampering” time. We also spent many hours in the heated indoor pool & hot tub. Sometimes we’d play volleyball, swim laps or just hang out telling stories & laughing the day away. We relaxed in front of the FP late into the evenings & played a few rounds of pool. We also created a little disco in the dance rm! For those who have culinary aspirations, you will be in absolute heaven in the kitchen. We cooked a few meals & had such a blast doing so. We treated ourselves & had private chefs for a few of our meals, even they had fun in the kitchen! We didn’t leave the premises the entire time as we wanted to soak up every minute. Although we didn’t leave, I know there are a lot of wonderful places nearby. You can go hiking or visit bistros w/live performances such as Infinity Hall, only minutes away. All I know is the memories we now share from the week we spent at Roughland Estates will be forever talked about w/a contagious smile. Roughland is filled w/such love, great decor & great spirit. If you’re looking for a place to stay at the foothills of CT’s Berkshire Mountains you won’t regret staying here. In fact, I believe like all the others who’ve had the opportunity to spend time here, you’ll fall in love and will want to come back for more.
Owner's Response: :) Thank you, Sanam,
You and your family were wonderful guests at Roughland and we would be very happy to have you back anytime!
~Claudia and the team at Roughland Estate

Simply Spectacular

5 of 5
Submitted: September 14, 2010 Stayed: August 2010
This is a spectacular property in the Berkshires, where there is almost no need to ever leave home! The main house is simply gorgeous and beautifully appointed, with all the amenities that one could possibly imagine. We especially enjoyed the pool and hot tub, that leads right into the sauna and steam room. You could spend an entire day just in that corner of the house! The fire pit at the lake is perfect for building a fire and gathering around with family and friends. Also, if you enjoy cooking, the kitchen is immaculate with everything you need to cook up a feast. The guest house is quaint and charming, a really antique feel to it and perfect for the setting. This is a property not to be missed if you are in the area.

Estate House

5 of 5
Submitted: September 2, 2010 Stayed: August 2010
We had a great 5 day/4 night stay at the Estate House. The Farmhouse was not occupied during our stay, so we had the whole outdoor property to ourselves. It's a beautiful one-of-a-kind place and worked out great for our party of 5 adult couples. We used most of both the outdoor and indoor facilities and really enjoyed ourselves. It was a first try at a family reunion for our group, and many of us would like to have our next event at the same place.

The description of the place was on target. the property was in great shape when we got there. Claudia was very helpful and provided great service. I would definitely recommend the place to a friend. It might be nice if a somewhat bigger town were a little closer, but you can't have everything. We prepared most of our own meals, but had one nice dinner in Norfolk; and we made use of a nice grocery store in Canaan.

A little slice of heaven in the Berkshires

5 of 5
Submitted: November 25, 2009 Stayed: June 2009
My husband and I got married at Roughland Farm earlier this year and from start to finish, the experience was absolutely perfect. We found Roughland online and knew immediately that it could be an amazing location for our wedding. We contacted the owners and heard back right away from Claudia, who, every step along the was was helpful, flexible, kind and a pleasure to work with. We saw Roughland Farm for the first time in Dec 2008, and despite it being wintertime with frozen grounds and nothing in bloom we were taken aback by the true beauty of the Estate House, the rustic charm of the Farm House, and the sprawling grounds. The pictures online are beautiful, but nothing compared to seeing this place in person. We booked it right away, and from that moment on Claudia couldn't have been more helpful with suggestions for food (The John Andrews resturant did our catering, which was spectacular) vendors, music, and every other out of the blue request I came up with. We visited Roughland again in the springtime as we were getting closer to our June wedding, and with everything in full bloom it was even more breathtaking than we remembered. The week we spent there was simply incredible, with the houses and grounds well kept and beautifully decorated and limitless activities to keep us and our guests entertained. The pool and hot tub got a lot of use! My husband and I commented all throughout the week how lucky we were to have found such a perfect place to have our wedding. All of our guests fell in love with Roughland as much as we did, which made our wedding day even more special than we could have imagined.
