Wonderful stay at Jeff's property. The property is beautiful - secluded, picturesque, and has all of the amenities. The house itself is perfect as well. We loved the living room/sun room design, everything was updated and the bathroom was very clean. Access to the pool was a great bonus, and Jeff was a gracious host! Highly recommend the property, would absolutely stay again.

Wonderful stay! The home was very comfortable and well stocked, with plenty of toiletries and supplies so we had everything we needed. Jeff was a fantastic host - friendly helpful and responsive. He even lent us a sled for the hill in the backyard and helped clear snow by our car after a foot of snow fell on our second night. We really enjoyed our time here and can’t wait to visit again.

Just a wonderful cottage on a quiet street just outside of charming Bantam. The hosts are lovely and helpful and the cottage is very well equipped. The pool was perfect for the Indian Summer weather as well. I’m sure we will be back.
