The Snuggery's handwritten guest journal, open on a table
“Every review we have is handwritten, in a book, by someone who slept here.”
Amy
Owner, The Snuggery

No star ratings to game, no incentives, no filters. The journal sits out during your stay so you can read what people wrote before you. Most guests read it over coffee in the parlour and then add a page of their own on the way out.

❦

An old house that has been kept, not restored into something else

Built in 1840 for a young minister just out of Yale, and still carrying its flushboard siding, its pilaster-framed doors, and the wave-cut bargeboards along the eaves.

Upstairs, up the original front-hall stairs, are two bedrooms and a full bathroom, newly renovated but not stripped of character. Downstairs you have a parlour to yourself, stocked with snacks and fitted with a refrigerator, microwave, toaster oven, and Nespresso maker. It is the right room for a glass of wine after a day out.

Goshen sits at the middle of Litchfield County, which means the hills, the lakes, the farm stands, and the antique shops are all a short drive in one direction or another.

The Suite

Three rooms, all yours

The Parlour, with its fireplace, chandelier and breakfast table
Your own sitting room

The Parlour

First floor, and nobody else comes through it. Fridge, microwave, toaster oven, Nespresso, and a cupboard already stocked. Breakfast happens here, and so does the part of the evening where you don't go anywhere.

The West Room, with a queen bed and reading nook
Queen bed

The West Room

The brighter of the two, looking out over the Goshen countryside. Smart TV, and the bedding guests keep describing in the journal as sleeping on a cloud.

The Snug, with crisp white bedding
Full bed

The Snug

The room the house is named for. Small on purpose, warm, and the one people ask for when they come back.

The original 1844 staircase

Before you book

Both bedrooms are on the second floor, up the original 1844 staircase. The house is not step-free or wheelchair accessible. If mobility is a question, call us first and we'll talk it through honestly.

On-Site Wellness

Add a massage to your stay

A licensed massage therapist is available on site by appointment — a good way to unwind after a day exploring the Litchfield Hills.

Massage is booked as an add-on to your reservation, so it isn't part of the estimate above. Availability and pricing are discussed when we speak to confirm your stay.

Call: (860) 689-3959
Both your room and any massage add-on are requests only, confirmed together by phone. Calls welcome 9:00am to 5:00pm, any day.

The highlight of our trip to CT was staying at The Snuggery. Amy was very accommodating to our requests. The house was immaculate. The bedroom was homey with bedding like sleeping on a cloud. We will certainly be back.

Questions guests ask

Do we get the whole house?
Not the whole house, but the whole suite. Three rooms are yours alone: two bedrooms and a full bathroom upstairs, plus a first-floor parlour that nobody else comes through. There is no shared kitchen and no shared sitting room.
How many people can stay?
Up to four. The West Room has a queen bed and The Snug has a full bed.
How does check-in work?
Self check-in, by keyless entry. Once your stay is confirmed and paid, your door code is sent by text message to the phone number on your request. Nobody needs to meet you. Standard check-in is 3:00pm and check-out is 11:00am, and other times can usually be arranged if you ask ahead.
Is there a minimum stay?
No. Single nights are welcome, though they carry a $75 short-stay fee. Stays of five nights or more drop to $150 a night.
How do I pay?
By phone, with Amy, on the call the two of you arrange by email. No payment is taken on this website and payment is never handled by email. Sending the form is a request, not a booking, and your dates are only held once payment has been received and you have received a confirmation email.
Is breakfast included?
Yes, a continental breakfast, and you take it at your own pace. There is no sitting to a fixed hour with strangers. The parlour is yours, so eat at seven or at eleven, in company or in silence. The parlour also has its own refrigerator, microwave, toaster oven and Nespresso maker, and it is stocked with snacks.
Are there stairs?
Yes. Both bedrooms are on the second floor, reached by the home's original 1844 staircase. The Snuggery is not step-free or wheelchair accessible. If mobility is a question, please call us before booking and we will talk it through honestly.
Can I add a massage?
Yes. A licensed massage therapist is available on site by appointment. It is booked as an add-on rather than through this site, so tick the box on your request and we will go over availability and pricing on the confirmation call.
Can we bring a pet?
Small pets are welcome, with two conditions. They cannot be left unattended in the suite at any time, and this is not the right house for a large dog: the rooms are on the second floor up a narrow 1844 staircase and the suite is compact. Tick the box on your reservation request and Amy will go over the details with you on the confirmation call.
What is the cancellation policy?
Cancel 14 days or more before check-in and you get a full refund. Between 7 and 13 days, half. Inside 7 days we cannot promise one, because with a single suite a late cancellation usually means the room simply stays empty, though if we manage to rebook your dates we will refund what we recover. A full refund is not always guaranteed, but we will always work towards accommodating our guests' needs. Plans change. If something has happened, call Amy and talk it through.
When can I call you?
If you would like to ring us, any day between 9:00am and 5:00pm is welcome, weekends included. We would rather not take calls first thing in the morning or late at night, so outside those hours please email stay@thesnuggery.net instead and we will come back to you. You never have to call to book: send the request from this site at any hour and Amy will email you to arrange a time to talk.
Where is The Snuggery?
16 North Street, Suite B, Goshen, Connecticut, in the middle of Litchfield County. The hills, the lakes, the farm stands and the antique shops are all a short drive out in one direction or another.

We post on Facebook

Seasonal photos of the house and the hills, and the occasional note about what is open in Goshen. It is the only social account we keep.

An 1840s lithograph of the Residence of Rev. Lavalette Perrin, Goshen Centre
Our History

The Lavalette Perrin House

A whimsical blending of Classical Greek Revival and the intricate details of Carpenter Gothic, built c.1844 for Lavalette Perrin (1816–1889), who graduated from Yale in 1840 and was licensed to preach in 1843. He took the call to pastor Goshen's Congregational Church and had this house built soon after.

The name came later, from great-great-grandfather Dr. Joseph Odiorne Thomas West, who in 1861 bought a house and office in Princeton, New Jersey and called it The Snuggery. He was the town's only full-time physician, and he went out day or night, in any weather. That's the part we try to keep.
