Bike, Hike, Ski or Paddle Weekend on Bantam Lake!
|
Enjoy Bantam Lake, and the beautiful Litchfield area from this direct waterfront home located on Bantam Lake's Deer Island. Deer Island offers low traffic private roads and passways for family friendly walking and biking, and the lake area and Bantam River are exceptional retreats for canoeing, kayaking, and biking through the Litchfield hills.
The auction winners enjoy a three night, four day, long weekend, and the dates are flexible from November, 2014 through May 17, 2015. During the winter, the lake is quiet and secluded, and cross country skiers make their way across the lake to the 35 miles of trails at the White Memorial Conservation Center. During the spring, the bicycles come out, and there are infinite loops from a ten-mile ride around the lake, to centuries meandering throughout beautiful northwest Connecticut. The house has four bedrooms, each with queen sized bed, and there are 2.5 baths with a washer/dryer. Please no pets or smoking. The house sits 20 feet from the water, and there is nothing better than a relaxed morning coffee on the deck, as the rising sun colors the lake. Get your family or group together, and enjoy an active or relaxed weekend on the lake, and bid high to support Bike Walk CT! |
