Perfect Wine Country Getaway

RUTH’s cottage was nothing less than perfect for our eight day stay in Carlton. Communication with the management team was spectacular, accommodations were absolutely perfect for what we wanted, and the location was ideal for daily jaunts to wineries in the area. We had everything we needed for cooking and cleaning, and really getting a sense what it felt like to live in Carlton.Can’t wait to go back.

This was such a great property! Completely unassuming from the outside and totally cozy and groovy on the inside. Laundry was huge bonus. Vinyl was pro-level. While early 20-something daughter may have initially groused about the pull-out, she was JUST FINE havng her own room.Carlton was such a sweet surprise and we had a really great weekend celebrating our fave Uni Grad with dear friends.I'll be back - maybe for longer next time!HIGHLY recommend.

Beautiful, restored home and property

We stayed 3 days at this property while exploring the wine region. The home was very comfortable and beautifully renovated. The property is stunning with beautiful mature plants and a huge old oak. The home is close to town where we were able to walk to the local wineries and especially enjoyed Carlton bakery where we ate every morning! We would definitely stay here again.
