Charming Cottage located on Historic Estate 1 Hour from NYC!

If you are looking to experience the true essence of southern New England this is the place! Impeccably restored in the Fall of 2019, this 2 story, 3 bedroom cottage is located in the town of Wilton on an idyllic New England estate. The property is situated on 6 acres which is adjacent to a 75 acre nature preserve with miles of walking and biking trails. Originally the guest house for the estate, the property has been updated and opened to travelers who want to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life for a weekend or longer! This is a perfect place to experience a New England vacation or weekend during any season.

The property offers stunning views of the Harrison Smith and Quarry Head nature preserves, and on most days you will be able to see to Long Island Sound from the cottage porch. The cottage is a 5 minute drive from both Wilton and Ridgefield town centers, which offer many of award winning restaurants, markets, museums, breweries, coffee shops and boutique stores. Drive an additional 15 minutes to explore the famous Westport downtown which offers some of the finest luxury shopping and dining in the Northeast!

Wilton Beauty!
A perfect retreat in the beautiful Hudson Valley and Fairfield County. Weather was fabulous and the cottage was perfect. Billie and Dale are the most friendly hosts with the dogs! We had a brilliant week and will be back again. The cottage is very well presented and fully stocked. A wonderful open fire too! Thanks!

Perfect!
We couldn't ask for a better experience and place to stay. Dale and Billie were welcoming from the start and made sure we had everything we needed from check in to check out. We used the kitchen for breakfast and spent a cold rainy morning in the main room, enjoying the fire that was laid for us. We appreciated the details, like the filtered water in the frig. and the lovely scented diffuser in the bathroom. The home was clean, cozy and perfectly situated for everything we were doing between Westport, Wilton and New Canaan. We would definitely stay here again if in the area.

Christmas in Connecticut
This cozy cottage located on an estate in scenic and historic Wilton, Connecticut could not have been more perfect for our family Christmas gathering. Care was taken to provide all creature comforts. The cottage is perfectly situated between the beautiful towns of Ridgefield and Wilton with museums, shopping, casual and fine dining and wooded trails are everywhere. Our hosts, Billie Sue and Dale could not have been more welcoming and attentive to our needs. We would recommend this charming getaway for all seasons.

Weekend getaway
Charming cottage for a family weekend getaway. The cottage was very clean and homey. There is a beautiful updated kitchen, cozy living space, and nice bedrooms and bathrooms. The location was ideal for us - easy trip from the city and central to a number of interesting places in the area. The property itself is gorgeous, with walking trails behind the back yard. Dale and Billie Sue were incredibly accommodating and responsive, making sure we had an enjoyable stay. We spoke on the phone with them a couple times, and got to meet Dale shortly as we were leaving and they seem like genuinely nice people. Overall, this was a great escape from the city and I can’t say enough good things about the place!
