The cottage was beautiful, very relaxing and enjoyable. It was very clean, well stocked and comfortable. The hosts were amazing. I highly recommend this beautiful, country cottage.
A charming cottage set on beautifully landscaped property. We loved sitting outside on the patio. The interior was warm and comfortable, beautifully decorated, filled with tons of charm. The kitchen was equipped and we cooked several meals. Loved grilling on the patio overlooking the pool.
Just perfect place to spend the long Labor Day weekend. Peaceful, quiet, yet close to town. Straight out of cottage magazine, English countryside vibe, beautifully curated with whimsical and comfortable furnishings. A charming gem!
We can’t say enough good things about our stay. We got in late at night and Geoff met us in the driveway to show us around. The place was immaculate and so gorgeous. Both Geoff and Mieke were consummate hosts and we just had a blast with them! We can’t wait to go back
The cottage has all one would need for a short relaxing stay, including a light-filled sunroom and back patio overlooking the lush grounds. If you are looking for a quiet, private property that is close to several restaurants, delis, and I-84, you cannot beat this cottage.
My family and I had a wonderful time staying here, the property was extremely well maintained, very clean and the owner was very welcoming. We will absolutely be returning.
Thanksgiving was absolutely perfect in the cottage. Close enough to Fairfield so my college aged kids could see their friends but felt like we were in the English countryside. Unbelievable charm and comfort/ we adored our stay!
Rarely when traveling are my expectations exceeded but I would rate this property a 10! The cottage is like a storybook and decorated perfectly. From the second we walked in, it was 90 degrees but the central AC was blasting away. The grounds were perfect, the pool was perfect, the cozy kitchen, the cute bathroom and Geoff and Mieke gave us such a warm welcome. We definitely hope to be back often.
Just minutes from Newtown, yet completely in the quiet of the beautiful Connecticut countryside…. We totally enjoyed our stay! Geoff greeted us in the driveway and was welcoming and super helpful the whole time :) The cottage is beautifully furnished, cozy, and comfortable….very unique! Plus the property is gorgeous… Highly recommend -
The property is beautiful and very comfortable. The host was very accommodating and a great communicator. We loved it!
