We know how relaxing a vacation on your private waterfront beach is, but if you are looking to explore the area around Bantam Lake, there are plenty of options for the whole family during your stay.

In addition to the activities listed below, renters will find an in-depth book filled with restaurants, local activities, day trips and much, much more.

White Memorial Foundation encompasses over 4000 acres on and around Bantam Lake and the Litchfield Hills.  There are many hiking trails all open to the public.  A unique nature museum is located at headquarters.


The Connecticut Wine Trail is located in Western CT. There are over 10 different vineyards in the area that are all part of the wine trail. Get your wine passport and check a few of them out! 


Looking for the best local ice cream in the area? Only a 5 minute drive from the rental house, Arethusa's ice cream parlor is just down the street! Check out the restaurant and the cafe, too!


There are so many great food options in the area, but if you’re looking to pick up some local ingredients for a night in, the Litchfield Farmers Market happens every Saturday at the local community center (and is close to Shop&Shop for any other items you may need).
