Wonderful stay! The home was very comfortable and well stocked, with plenty of toiletries and supplies so we had everything we needed. Jeff was a fantastic host - friendly helpful and responsive. He even lent us a sled for the hill in the backyard and helped clear snow by our car after a foot of snow fell on our second night. We really enjoyed our time here and can’t wait to visit again.

We had a great 2 night stay here. The host responded quickly to a few questions, and was gracious and friendly while there. The house met our needs, with a bedroom downstairs, and then a large room upstairs that has 3 beds with a lot of room, etc. It was clean and updated in the kitchen and main bathroom. Nice view out the back and a patio for enjoying that. Location was great - out on a beautiful country road, but just a few minutes to town. Would recommend.

We were hoping for a quiet, romantic getaway—and this cottage delivered beautifully. From the moment we stepped inside, we felt right at home. The pictures really do capture the place well. The space is cozy, well cared for, and struck the perfect balance of nostalgic charm and modern comfort. The bathroom tub was an absolute highlight—ideal for unwinding and reconnecting. We also really appreciated the thoughtful guide left by the host, which helped us discover a few local gems we might’ve otherwise missed. This stay was exactly what we needed.

I rented this charming cottage in Litchfield to celebrate a milestone Birthday, as I love this area of CT. I couldn’t be happier about our experience. The hosts were very welcoming, kind, and helpful. Everything was easily and clearly communicated. Anything we needed they were happy to help with. The cottage was exactly as depicted in the photographs. Absolutely charming. We’re looking forward to planning another visit

Although the description calls it an 1870 cottage it's much more comfortable and well-equipped than that might imply, especially the kitchen which has everything you could want for cooking. We especially loved the pool, hot tub, patio with a grill, and great location with easy access to town. Karen and Jeff were wonderful hosts. Just note the pool/hot tub is shared and there are some hour limitations.

Just so lovely. Beautifully decorated, yet very functional. Kitchen is equipped with everything needed, and a Keurig! We were there in February through a cold spell and the heat works great! The owners are very available and all communication was prompt and so friendly. Great location, to downtown and Mohawk Mountain. Thank you for a great stay!

This property was lovely. As a former resident in CT, I appreciate the New England charm. The house was pristine. Unfortunately I was in for a memorial and during a snow storm. Jeffrey and his family were so accommodating and so kind to us. I highly recommend this home. I would not hesitate to stay there again.
