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.

Jeff was so responsive throughout the entire process of getting this VRBO. I was able to get ready for my wedding with our small group and it was such an incredibly beautiful place to do it. The property is gorgeous. The cottage is wonderful, well lit, and charming for sure. We will definitely be returning!

Wonderful Stay
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.

Lovely Property
The pictures do not do justice to this lovely home. The setting is beautiful and sitting on the patio is serene. There is plenty of room in this lovingly renovated cottage. The hosts were friendly and responsive. A very short drive to the center of Litchfield with shops and restaurants as well as some trails for long hikes. Highly recommended.

The cottage house had a warm, welcoming vibe to it. It was very well maintained. The grounds were beautiful. The home had everything available that you could possibly want. It was very cozy. We had relatives from Italy with us and they absolutely loved it. I would definitely go back and I highly recommend it. Congratulations to the owners, because they have done a wonderful job with it.

Christmas in Connecticut
Can't say enough wonderful things about this rental property! We stayed for 2 weeks over Christmas, with 3 little boys, who had the best time! The old cottage has been so beautifully updated to give you the historic vibes with tasteful modern touches. And the house sits on a picturesque property. The owners live next door and are incredibly nice and helpful should you need anything. We had the best trip and made lots of life long memories. Hoping to stay there again the next time we're in town!

We were visiting family in the area. Delighted with every aspect of the rental. The owners were easy to contact and were responsive. The kitchen was modern and well stocked, all high end appliances. The beds were comfy, plenty of storage, great views of the countryside, amazing bathroom, close to town of Litchfield. Highly recommend this place. Would stay here again.
