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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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
