THE SPACE
Our owner likes to refer to the Cozy Moose as Vermont in Connecticut. The property is truly a place to escape the more modern world and slow down. Star-gazing, napping in the yard or by the pool, sitting by the fire pit and roasting marshmallows, snow-shoeing through the backwoods around the cabin, and exploring.

Petâs Considered. Pets must be approved before arrival. There is a pet fee of $25 per day per pet. No furry friends are allowed on any of the furniture at any time or in the pool.

A guest book with local attractions and restaurants and everything you need to know about the property will await you upon arrival.
Newtown is home to some amazing breweries, a winery, and many fantastic restaurants. But if true escape is what you want, the home is stocked with all the furnishings you will need to grill and cook up your feast. There are several grocery stores within a minute's drive from the property.
The Cozy Moose is just off the main road and has a long secure packed driveway. You won't see the home from the road. It is easy to miss the driveway, so we will be sure to give you extremely good directions, so there are no complications finding your way.
GUEST ACCESS
The entire home and its contents are yours to use. The fireplace during the winter makes the place very cozy, and there will be wood to burn. We require you to watch a video and ask for help if you are not used to using a fireplace. Please don't hesitate to ask - a few tips can go a long way.
Guests will have access to about 7 acres of private hiking trails behind the house with another 50 acres of secluded forest behind that. This 50 acres is town-owned and not accessible to the public as it is landlocked by private homes. There are no properly maintained trails, but the owner often paves a path when they take out their four-wheelers (four-wheelers not available to guests). These paths are more defined, depending on the time of year. The woods are great for roaming by foot or snowshoe. A trail map of the area will be in the Welcome Book.
