Cottage in the trees.

We had a Wonderful time in the cottage that Victoria has created. Her artwork and her eye for design takes this snug house for beyond most rentals. The location could not be better. Sherman is in the hills of western Connecticut. This is picture book New England territory – – charming villages, breathtaking drives, antiquing, restaurants and so so peaceful. Breakfast on the deck with the birds and the great trees of the back garden was a constant treat.

Great stay!

We really enjoyed our stay at Victoria and Denis’ property! Victoria was super helpful and so easy to get in contact with! She was even able to get with her masseuse Peg, who even came to the house to give me my massage! Let me tell you Peg has a real gift - one of the best massages I’ve ever had. Victoria was also kind enough to recommend other services if you wanted, places to go and things to do. The outside space is fantastic as well. If you’re looking for some peace and quiet as well as an area with activities I’d highly recommend this cottage! Thanks again!
