4. Laurel Ridge Farm

23mi from Dover Plains · 1 site · Tent, RV · Litchfield, CT

Laurel Ridge Farm is Litchfield's largest estate, a working grass-fed beef farm, and the site of a well-loved tourist attraction that appears every spring: the Laurel Ridge Daffodils. Guests will have access to a large, flat pasture with easy road access—an open field of about 50 acres where you can roam freely. We do not grant access to the entire property because it is a working farm with livestock and farm dogs, but the guest-accessible field is grand and gorgeous. You can also enjoy farm-to-table beef and pork products with a visit to our farmstand in an old converted windmill just down the road. This setting is well known for its elevated outlook, ten-mile views, and stunning sunrises and sunsets. If you wish to leave the farm and explore the area, you can sample the restaurants and shops of Litchfield County, a country haven that is quickly growing in popularity. Visit the serene beaches of Bantam Lake or Lake Waramaug, or hike through White Memorial’s thousands of acres of nature preserve or one of the many nearby state parks—there are dozens of beautiful spots within reach. For culture buffs, visit the Institute for American Indian Studies in Washington, the Historical Society in Litchfield, or the art galleries in Kent. You can also enjoy lively family-friendly events at several local farms during the summer, featuring live music, food trucks, and more. Take a stroll through historic Litchfield town center (a 5-minute drive) to admire the 18th- and 19th-century mansions and majestic old trees. The charming town also features top-rated shopping and restaurants for every taste and budget—from pizza by the slice to Michelin-starred cuisine. A general store is conveniently located just a mile down the road from our farm. We look forward to welcoming you to our beautiful family farm in Litchfield.

What a lovely spot. I hesitate to promote it because I want it all to myself. It was everything you want and nothing you don’t. Complete privacy. Don’t forget to stack your rocks at the top of the waterfall!

Total paradise. The water is clear and refreshing and the cabin adds convenience without taking away from the beautiful scenery. Very private, lots to do and explore on the property and also within a very short drive. It was hard to leave and we can’t wait to return.

We had a wonderful time visiting Ethan and Karen’s place. The site was clean, well cared for, and the waterfall with its natural pool at the base was absolutely beautiful. We truly enjoyed our visit and would highly recommend!

The land was beautiful and the camper was well stocked and clean. Very nicely renovated. Loved the net out front where it was beautiful to star gaze and night and watch birds during the day. Very close to great hikes and an amazing bakery (Catskill mountain bakery & market). Had a great time! Would def recommend!

We loved staying at Tree Day Weekend! The cabin is cozy and the loft bed was super comfy. The outdoor kitchen was great and made cooking super easy, both on the gas stove and on the fire. Add in a hot shower and refreshing swimming hole, and it's a perfect glamping situation.

Beautiful multi-layered property with fantastic views and sightlines abounding. Great tent-site choices and firepit with picnic table overlooking the falls are special. Cabin is small but well worth spending time in for a little deep woods lounging. Immediate surroundings are pretty limited for paddling but teem with hike possibilities of all challenge levels. The nearby drive along 23A to 32A is spectacular. Ethan is responsive for sure and sounds like a great dude. Truly feel the only experience that can be had at the Falls is utter, peaceful thrill.

An absolutely beautiful piece of property! The cabin is not for sleeping but it was great to have when we got hit with some rain and for storing food. Very private. The creek and waterfall were spectacular. Sleeping in a tent to the sound of the falls was great. Thank you for sharing your camp with us. Wonderful hosts.

This is one of the sites I hate to leave a good review for!! I want to be selfish and keep it all to ourselves! This spot was amazing. The waterfall lulled us to sleep each night. It was just the two of us (and two dogs) but there is lots of space for larger groups. There was some 4-wheel activity on the road, but the site is private and we were never disturbed or bothered. Ethan and Karen have thought of lots of little touches to make the experience better. We always park in/pack out but they had a nice setup to cook with over the firepit, a port-a-potty and a place to escape the rain if necessary. We had a bad thunderstorm and they were so nice to check on us! Their communication was great. The beauty of this site is breathtaking.

We had such a peaceful and restorative stay here. The campsite, the cabin, all of the amenities, the trails, etc. are beautifully designed with a lot of thoughtful touches. It feels very special and welcoming! The kitchen setup, the outdoor shower, and the fire pit with Adirondack chairs definitely elevated the camping experience. Our dogs had a great time exploring the woods, and we felt very comfortable letting them roam around with us. Last thing I'll gush about: the ever-present sound of the creek is unbelievably soothing. Highly recommend this site if you want a place to disconnect and unwind in nature...with a convenience store a short drive away :-)

We very much enjoyed our stay. It was just as described in the description. It felt very private and the wooded space in front of the RV was full of beauty. We saw wild turkeys and hundreds of fireflies at night.

John’s camper was super fun! My partner and I loved it as a little summer getaway. Here’s some things to note: shower never got hot (there was instructions to wait 20 minutes after turning the heat button on and letting the water run but it never turned warm). Oven did not work :( If you plan to go to this site in the summer, be prepared to have a lot of buggy friends fly in to the camper at night. TV, bed, and everything else was amazing.

We had such a beautiful time! John is an amazing host, he's down to earth and very helpful. He already mentioned this in the description, but the RV is tight! Me and my girlfriend both are 5'3" so we are good and found the space cozy. Cooking was good too, we got some groceries delivered from a nearby market that does free delivery. The RV has its own spot in the shared campsite and it feels private. The hammock outside is wonderful and we took a few naps there too. We forgot our cards but John has a deck in the RV which worked perfectly for us. We did fires every night and did some food in the grill. There are different species of birds in the campsite and at night the stars are gorgeous. We saw a few bunnies and a pair of deers around as well. We were there without a car so it was a bit harder to move around but taxi services work there! It just takes a bit of time. There are a lot of things to enjoy in Hudson, Catskill and Leeds! We did also a few hikes around the area and explored some thrift/antiques stores that were lovely. Oh and the wifi works good! We would love to come back! Thanks for everything John, we had a great time!

This place was amazing my husband and our dog had such a great time!!. This place makes you feel like time has stoped. Local places to get things you might need. The swimming hole our dog enjoyed it so much and we loved the view. During the night time it gets really dark only suggestion is bring flash lights it worked out great for us. Making plans to come back with friends and family since is specious enough to have more people. FIRE PIT was awesome 👏🏽 Jeremy & Josh responded at a timely matter and the communication was great book!!
