I am so glad we chose this place to stay. Not only was it in a beautiful location, a beautiful property, but the hosts were so welcoming and the house was so cozy and clean. My two teens and young son loved it so much they all asked if we could go back and stay longer just cause of how much we all loved the house and property. I absolutely would rent again, no hesitation. Thank you so much for having us!!!

Girls Trip 2024

We loved our stay Aberfoyle. The setting was peaceful and was the perfect place for our girls weekend of laugher, food and catching up. The cottage was adorable and provided a cozy retreat that we were very comfortable in while being in a great location for exploring during the day. Helen was a wonderful host and came to check in with us making sure we were comfortable.

Wonderful Stay

My daughter and I had a wonderful stay. The cottage was very clean, spacious and comfortable. The setting is so peaceful and serene — a deer greeted us ( from a distance) upon minutes of our arrival. My daughter and I agreed that we would both love to live there all the time. But I guess we will have to settle for another visit.

Great experience, book it!

Perfect house for our family of 4 adults and we didn't even need the third bedroom. (you have to go outside to access it, but it's very private and comfortable.) We highly recommend booking this home. Helen was responsive and welcoming and kind. House was spotless and comfortable. 5 stars all around. We will absolutely be back.

Stunning views and amazing character!

The photos do not do this house justice. The character and charm is incredible, and the property is inviting and cozy. My husband and I stayed with his father and our toddler, and there was plenty of room for all of us. We didn’t realize the third bedroom was not accessible from the main house, but the bedrooms are spacious which allowed us to keep our toddler in his travel crib with us. Helen was so inviting and friendly, and her pup, Willow, was our toddler’s favorite. We had a wonderful time, and we hope to visit again.

The house was very clean and well stocked with everything you needed (maybe a Keurig coffee maker would be a nice addition). We had no issues but Helen seemed very nice and always available if we needed her. I am sure we would stay there again.
