Third times a charm! As a repeat guest, I'm still impressed with how quaint this cottage is. There is no place like it and boy what a view! This was the relaxing weekend we needed - leaving only for Bellevale ice cream and minor shopping. It's always so clean and very welcoming. Can't wait to go back!

Checked all the boxes

We really enjoyed our stay at the Cottage and highly recommend it - the pond/waterfall out back makes for some relaxing scenery and sounds. It was also a great home base for everything we wanted to do. We were in town to visit the world headquarters of Jehovah's Witnesses in Warwick as well as the Patterson office and the cottage was (relatively) close to both. The location was also great for extracurricular activities - less than 10 minutes drive to Bellvale Creamery, a laundromat, a big playground, good restaurants, various local activities and not too far from Legoland. When we left the Cottage and moved to our hotel in NYC, we definitely missed it and the ambience. The owners were helpful (especially all the local guide information inside the home) and communicative. Will definitely recommend it to friends planning to visit Warwick.

An Idyllic Escape…

Bob and Lorelei put so much into making this a welcoming place. They thought of everything! The house is super clean, and there was more than enough supplies with which to cook. And the little touches, like robes and slippers, snacks, coffee and tea… The setting of this property is stunning, with the waterfall right behind you, and everywhere you look there is lush green nature to feed the soul. A few families of ducks live in the pond and were a joy to see each day. I can’t say enough how much we enjoyed our stay here and I heartily recommend this beautiful cottage!

Well appointed cottage in a beautiful setting

This cottage is right at the waterfall (a spillway) at one end of a beautiful rustic enclave with a stream and pond. It's equipped with many outdoor amenities including a barbecue, firepit, deck, and Adirondack chairs. The inside is tastefully furnished, well lit, has modern appliances, and come with cooking staples and condiments, as well as welcome snacks. The hosts are very responsive and friendly. We have family in the area, and they were very impressed too.

About the host

Hosted by Bob and Loreli Rankin

Host profile image
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!

Why they chose this property

The Cottage at Millpond Falls is loved by everyone who visits. Many of our guests have told us that it's the best vacation rental they've ever stayed in. We go above and beyond when it comes to hospitality and providing an unforgettable experience!

What makes this property unique

The stunning waterfall just behind the Cottage can be enjoyed from your living room or bedroom windows. Or relax on the back deck for an even more immersive view of the water as it flows into a deep gorge.
