Thanksgiving getaway

Thanksgiving was absolutely perfect in the cottage. Close enough to Fairfield so my college aged kids could see their friends but felt like we were in the English countryside. Unbelievable charm and comfort/ we adored our stay!

Simply fantastic

We can’t say enough good things about our stay. We got in late at night and Geoff met us in the driveway to show us around. The place was immaculate and so gorgeous. Both Geoff and Mieke were consummate hosts and we just had a blast with them! We can’t wait to go back

Artistic and charming

A charming cottage set on beautifully landscaped property. We loved sitting outside on the patio. The interior was warm and comfortable, beautifully decorated, filled with tons of charm. The kitchen was equipped and we cooked several meals. Loved grilling on the patio overlooking the pool.

Charming Cottage

Rarely when traveling are my expectations exceeded but I would rate this property a 10! The cottage is like a storybook and decorated perfectly. From the second we walked in, it was 90 degrees but the central AC was blasting away. The grounds were perfect, the pool was perfect, the cozy kitchen, the cute bathroom and Geoff and Mieke gave us such a warm welcome. We definitely hope to be back often.
