8 / 10Excellent·Oct 2025
The property was lovely, and overall, our family really enjoyed our stay. The photos made the house feel a bit more spacious than it actually is, but it still had everything we needed and felt cozy once we settled in. There was a bit of a lived-in scent at times—though I’ll admit I’m extra sensitive to that kind of thing—so it may not be noticeable to most.On the bright side, the open fields around the home were perfect for our pup, who absolutely loved running around and exploring. The location made for a nice weekend stay to attend a close friend's wedding. A nice spot for families, especially if you’re traveling with pets. I would recommend the cottage for folks traveling to rural CT.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2025
Everything about my family's stay was superb. The accommodations were comfortable, the host had seen to it that everything we needed was there, and the instructions/communications were excellent. Our visit was during summer and we enjoyed the beautifully landscaped yard. The firepit (with s'mores!) was a huge hit with the kids. I'm sure that no matter what season you came, your visit would be as wonderful as ours!

When staying away from home, there are three subjects that are must requirements. Lodging must be clean, quiet, and safe. The cottage here checks all of those boxes. The name is appropriate because it is quiet, peaceful, recharging to one's peace, and feels just like home. The location is secluded, yet the few neighbors are friendly. The interior is well-appointed and comfortable, and the experience was uniquely pleasant. Thank you to the owners for an enjoyable stay.
6 / 10Average·Jun 2023
We stayed here for my brother’s wedding nearby. We were pleased by the beauty of the land and home. A lot of love has gone into the place and you can feel it as soon as you enter. I wish I could continue to rave about the experience but on the second day, as we were getting ready for the rehearsal dinner, we discovered water coming out of a pipe in the basement. We immediately called and Doug sent a plumber to snake the line. We could’t shower or use toilets prior. We made the best of it and realize things happen that are out of a host’s control. The plumber discovered it was not a clog but a full septic tank. A member of our party spent much of the rehearsal dinner pleading with Doug to send an emergency septic pump company. There were 5 local companies listed as available 24 hours. Doug refused, saying that it would be dark and the septic is in the woods. It is almost summer solstice and light after 9 pm. They had hours to fix it in daylight- would not do it. Doug told us to use the facilities at the rehearsal dinner restaurant because we’d have to wait for the next day to have running water or toilets. We had elderly with us. We had a wedding in the morning. I won’t go into details about how terrible that night was but we did not have the option to go anywhere else with the amount of wedding responsibility and elderly people we had. The septic drain field does not drain. They know this and haven’t fixed it. It is raw sewage, not water, coming from that pipe. Be aware.
