About this property

Charming Country Loft in Roxbury—Private & Serene! Escape to Litchfield Hills!

Discover the Beauty of Roxbury, Connecticut

Unwind in the hills at this peaceful and private loft nestled above a barn with scenic garden views.

Tucked into the scenic hills of Roxbury, this newly built and beautifully appointed loft apartment offers the perfect escape to explore all that Litchfield County has to offer. Perched above a charming barn and set on four peaceful acres shared with the main house, the Loft is a serene and private retreat ideal for relaxation, inspiration, or a romantic weekend away.

Step onto your private deck and take in views of the lush gardens and orchard—a tranquil backdrop for morning coffee or evening stargazing. The interior is bright, airy, and thoughtfully designed for comfort and ease, making it a cozy home base after a day of adventuring.

Located just 2 miles from the heart of the picturesque town of Roxbury, you’ll be close to the best of New England charm. Stroll through historic streets, explore local farms, or spend an afternoon antiquing. You’re also only 8 miles from Washington Depot and New Milford, both are famous as the inspiration for Gilmore Girls, where you'll find boutique shopping, galleries, and excellent dining.

Outdoor enthusiasts will love the easy access to hiking trails, cross-country skiing, and nearby ski mountains. Art and history lovers can explore local museums, studios, and cultural landmarks scattered throughout the region.

Please note: The Loft is located on the second floor above the barn and is accessible via two sets of exterior stairs.

A friendly heads-up: We share the property with our two lovable dogs who enjoy meeting guests and will be sure to greet you with wagging tails! They may bark at first, but they are friendly!

Whether you're seeking a peaceful retreat or an active getaway, this private Loft is the perfect place to experience the charm and natural beauty of Roxbury and beyond.

Perfect Quiet Getaway

We loved this property! Definitely one of the most well decorated Vrbo properties we've stayed at. It was clean and comfortable (the bed was a dream!) and the perfect size for a couple. The location was remote and quiet but convenient enough to our planned activities in Kent, CT and Beacon, NY.

Great Long Stay

We stayed at Lisa’s place for three weeks. Worked out well for us. The loft was great for a family of three with a two year old. The dogs on the property were so kind that we are considering getting one ourselves. Highly recommend staying here.

5 Stars All the Way

I am writing this on behalf of my friends who stayed at Lisa's apartment. It was 5 stars all the way! Just a perfect, comfortable place that was located on a beautiful country road yet convenient to where we needed to be. The owner was so nice and attentive to all our needs! Thank you Lisa!

A country oasis

We had a wonderful stay at Rucum Rd! The apartment is beautifully decorated and every detail was provided. We could have easily made meals there with the well equipped kitchen. The grounds are beautiful and peaceful and coffee on our private deck was my favorite morning ritual. We were 16 minutes from New Milford and 17 minutes from my family in Washington. Perfect location to visit family and friends in the area. We will be back when we plan another extended stay in the area. Thank you Lisa and Emily!!

A hidden gem

This loft apartment is the perfect place for a couple. We were visiting from NC, and felt at home the minute we arrived. The hosts were phenomenal…. friendly, accommodating, and ready to do whatever was needed to make our stay enjoyable. The apartment was spotless and so tastefully decorated! The surrounding grounds were gorgeous, and the deck was the perfect spot for a morning cup of coffee or an evening glass of wine. So relaxing! We will definitely be returning to this little slice of heaven in Connecticut!!

Wonderful stay at Rucum Hill!

This is a lovely apartment in a great location! Comfortable, clean, spacious and quiet...everything we wanted for the weekend. Lisa is a thoughtful and attentive host and we'd love to stay here again when we are in the area. It was primarily just a sleeping spot for us, but it would be a fabulous home for a couple to get away or a small family to recharge a bit. Two things to note (neither were an issue for us at all) the stone path from the driveway to the apartment may be tough for anyone with mobility issues. Particularly in wet weather where it may be slippery. Also, there are a few super sweet dogs on the property. My boys LOVED getting to meet them and we had zero issues, but think it's worth mentioning.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Roush

Host profile image
We’re a family who has called Roxbury home for the past 25 years, and we truly love everything about this quiet, beautiful corner of Connecticut. The charm of the countryside, the welcoming community, the endless trails and preserved lands—it all makes Roxbury a deeply special place to live.

One of the greatest joys of hosting is getting to share this slice of New England paradise with visitors from all over the world. Whether you're here for the hiking, the history, the local food scene, or just to unwind and recharge, we hope you'll find the same peace and inspiration here that we do every day.

We're always happy to offer recommendations or help make your stay extra special—and our three friendly dogs will be just as excited to welcome you as we are!

What makes this property unique

The Loft at Rucum Hill isn’t just a place to stay—it’s an experience rooted in peace, beauty, and authentic New England charm. Nestled on a quiet country road in the hills of Roxbury, our property offers the kind of privacy and tranquility that’s hard to find, yet is just minutes from quaint towns, hiking trails, and cultural gems.

What makes it truly unique is the setting: a newly built loft apartment above a classic barn, surrounded by gardens, fruit trees, and open sky. From your private deck, you can watch the seasons change—morning mist rising over the orchard, summer blooms in full swing, or a blanket of fresh snow across the quiet landscape.

We’ve lived on this property for decades, lovingly cultivating not just the land but the atmosphere. It’s a place where you can take a deep breath, slow down, and reconnect with nature, yourself, or your favorite travel companion. Guests often tell us they sleep better here, think more clearly, and leave feeling renewed.

Whether you're sipping wine under the stars, heading out on a hike, or simply enjoying the peaceful rhythm of life in the countryside, it is a place to truly unwind. It’s not just where you stay—it’s where you come to feel at home.
