Home away from home

We were in town for the Time of Harvest conference at Lighthouse Church. Grandmas Cottage was perfect! It was clean, cozy and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the stay so much that we are planning to stay again the next time we visit Milford. I would highly recommend to anyone.

Fall Get Away

I have stayed at several short stay rentals in the Milford area and Grandma’s Cottage is by far my favorite. The cottage is quaint with all the essentials. I loved being on the lake with the calls of the Canadian geese. The fall colors were spectacular. It was just what I was looking for.
