This is a great cottage by a pond and a waterfall. It is clean, well appointed, and thoroughly enjoyable. We highly recommended, and have been back at least five times since our first day.
Everything as described. We loved the cottage, location convenient to everything we wanted. Hosts very pleasant and the backyard waterfall so soothing and relaxing to listen to. A 5 star all the way around.
Loved staying at this cottage, has a beautiful little waterfall right behind it and the host has the Carthage set up very nice. The place was clean and very easy to get to. We would definitely stay here again!!
Everything about the cottage is excellent. It is well appointed and a right by a beautiful waterfall.Communications with the owner are also excellent. They are very attentive and responsive. We highly recommend this cottage.
Me and my boyfriend had an amazing time here. The property was very clean and well maintained. It’s a short drive to anywhere you want to go in Warwick! We will definitely be coming back to stay again :)
We really enjoyed our stay. The house was beautiful and clean, the hosts were lovely and communicative and they had extra touches that made the stay even more enjoyable.
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!

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!

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.
