Facility Overview
The Rustic Country Barn parking facility serves the renowned home decor and custom reclaimed barnwood furniture showroom located at 101 Park Lane Road (Route 202) in picturesque New Milford, Connecticut. Positioned directly in front of and alongside the 5,000-square-foot retail showroom, the parking area is a dedicated, open-air surface lot designed for seamless vehicular access. Because it is an open outdoor lot with no overhead barriers or height restrictions, it offers unhindered vertical clearance. This makes it exceptionally well-suited not only for standard passenger cars and crossovers, but also for full-size pickup trucks, large SUVs, cargo vans, and trailers frequently utilized by customers picking up large handcrafted furniture pieces and country home furnishings.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Situated along the busy Route 202 commercial artery in Litchfield County, this lot places visitors in close proximity to prominent local landmarks and outdoor destinations. The historic New Milford Green and vibrant downtown village center—replete with artisan cafes, boutique dining, and the historic Bank Street Theater—are located less than two miles southwest (a 4-minute drive). Outdoor enthusiasts can quickly reach Aspetuck Park just north of the facility, or venture slightly south to Lovers Leap State Park and Candlewood Lake’s Lynn Deming Park. The lot acts as a convenient, stress-free stop for day-trippers exploring scenic Litchfield Hills antiquing routes, nursery centers, and farm markets.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Ingress and egress are straightforward via wide, two-way curb cuts off Park Lane Road (US-202), which connects directly to US-7 and Route 67 for rapid transit throughout western Connecticut. The entry driveway is built to handle customer vehicles as well as delivery and transport trucks without congestion. Drivers traveling from Danbury or Interstate 84 can travel north along Route 7, transitioning smoothly onto Route 202. While public rail transit in New Milford is not active for commuter passenger rail, regional bus links provided by the Housatonic Area Regional Transit (HART) serve nearby corridors, and regional rideshares can easily access the parking turnaround area.

Visitor & Driver Tips
If you plan to pick up large custom furniture items, such as dining tables or barn doors, consider backing your vehicle or trailer into spaces nearest the loading bay for swift, protected loading. Ensure you bring tie-down straps, moving blankets, and protective materials if transporting cargo in an open pickup bed. Traffic along Route 202 can pick up during late weekday afternoons and sunny weekend mid-days, so exercise caution when turning back out onto Park Lane Road.
