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!

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.
