In the 1940s, the property was owned by MGM Studios, and was a summer retreat for Ginger Rogers, Fred Astaire, and other celebrities.

About the host
Hosted by Bob and Loreli Rankin
Bob is a technology writer and computer programmer; Loreli is a school secretary, and Cookie Goddess. (Her chocolate chip cookies are famously good!) We bought the 34-acre estate where the Cottage is located because of the natural beauty here... streams, pond and an amazing waterfall that flows into a gorge. We call it the "Grand Canyon of Warwick." The Cottage was completely renovated in 2017, creating a peaceful and comfortable setting for guests. We look forward to meeting you!
