Idyllic Litchfield Getaway

Jeffrey’s cottage is perfect for a Litchfield getaway - quiet and peaceful yet within close striking distance to restaurants, shops, etc. The space is well-equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay and communication was a breeze. Our only hope is that next time we’ll be able to stay longer!

Just perfect...

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.

Girls Weekend

Jeff was an absolutely great host! The cottage was so beautiful inside and out. Everything was there, we didn't need to bring anything with us. Jeff even made sure we had a brush to clean off our cars after a snow storm. We were able to have a cozy fire with wood provided by Jeff. The cottage was so close to everything. I would highly recommended this host and property.

Beautiful home for family stay

Beautiful home - perfect for our family to stay in over the holidays when there wasn’t enough room At the family home where we were visiting. Just note that although it states 3 bedrooms it is really 2 bedrooms - master on first floor and open space on 2nd floor (no door to the second floor) with 4 beds. It worked for my 3 kids but not sure it would work for ppl looking to have more privacy And separate bedrooms.

Perfect Holiday Spot

We stayed at this lovely New England home for Christmas. We are originally from the area and traveled to spend the holidays with family. We were lucky enough to have a white Christmas and the kids were thrilled, as we now live in NC and don’t get snow often. The hosts were lovely and attentive, even bringing over a couple of sleds for us to use and we had a blast. Would definitely recommend to anyone for this perfect country setting spot, that is also convenient to restaurants and shopping.

Hosts were very accommodating and are next door. Property is beautiful. The home is spacious, comfortable, extremely clean and well-stocked, and has that wonderful New England charm. Jeff provided reccos for dining and nature that proved to be perfect. We missed the autumn colors by a week or so….so may just have to go back to enjoy that next year

Charming cottage

The hosts and location of the property were excellent. Beds and bedding very comfortable. Main thing to note is that there are not 3 separate bedrooms as listed. There is one bedroom with a queen bed downstairs which is on the same level as the full and half baths. The second floor is one large open space of 3 twin beds and one queen bed. No toilet on second level. This worked out fine for us but could be problematic for anyone expecting 3 truly separate spaces. I do think sofas and chair cushions are due for a replacement. Such a lovely area of the country and property though. Loved proximity to restaurants and bakeries.

Beyond Expectations

We entered and were astonished by the beauty and craftsmanship of the home. The modern kitchen and spectacular bathroom made the stay perfect. So that you know, even the choice of towels and sheets has to be mentioned. The openness of the living room and the many windows captured the property's beauty. The check-in process was flawless. Directions were easy to understand. The owners were friendly and helpful. A Keurig coffee maker is available, but the owner brought over a drip coffeemaker when I mentioned that we preferred it. We stayed there for a weekend to be close to family. We hope to go back for a week's vacation.

Beautifully renovated and charming property. Wonderful landscaping and views, thoughtful architectural details throughout. Great flow. The bedroom portion of the master suite is private, enabling easy access to the large, main bath for families or friends traveling together. 1/2 bath downstairs also nicely designed and accessible. Great light! Upstairs serves as a wonderful bunk room with private niches, window seats, etc

Marvelous Cottage Stay

My wife and I extend our thanks to the gracious hosts, Jeffrey and Karen. Their cottage is even nicer than the pictures convey. Truly a remarkable little house. We enjoyed our time reading in the sunroom and evenings on the back patio. It's close to Arethusa Dairy for ice cream! If you need a place to stay in Litchfield, and this is available, stay here. It's a great spot. This was an anniversary get-away and the quality of the property really made an extended weekend special.
