About this property

Cozy cottage on the Miller farm.

This secluded and tranquil cottage on a 20 acre hobby farm is the perfect getaway. With walking trails from the back door to Abbott's Mill Nature Center on the adjacent property, it is perfect for birders, nature lovers, or just for a nice walk.
We are an easy 15 minute drive from the DE Turf Sports Complex on Rt. 1 north of Milford and 35 minutes from Sports at the Beach near Georgetown.
The cottage is small but feels spacious with a vaulted living room ceiling and open floor plan. There is lots of natural light with large windows throughout and french doors onto the beautiful screened porch. There is a gas grill just out the back door. The porch makes for wonderful indoor/outdoor living; deer can often be spotted in the wooded side yard or in the meadow out back. Wild turkeys show up occasionally as well.
The cottage is shaded and air conditioned for wonderful summer days and evenings and the radiant floor heat makes it cozy and warm in the winter.
Take a walk to the creek at the rear of the property or stroll through the woods to Abbott's Mill Nature Center. Abbott's is a 313-acre Nature Preserve and features trails open to the public, a preserved gristmill, a pond, meadows, an animal collection, and educational programs. They also host Music at the Mill on select summer weekends.
The Atlantic Ocean and Delaware Bay beaches are nearby. Lewes (30 minutes), Rehoboth Beach (30 minutes), and Ocean City, Maryland (45 minutes) are popular beach destinations. Other nearby attractions are Cape Henlopen State Park, Killens Pond State Park, and the Cape May/Lewes Ferry. Delaware Bay beaches are popular for hunting for sea glass and are only 15 to 20 minutes away.
Enjoy tax free shopping at the Tanger Outlets near Rehoboth Beach.
Downtown Milford is a 5 minute drive and features coffee shops, antique stores, barbershops, restaurants, and the Mispillion River walk.

Fantastic!

Family of 5 in town for a lacrosse tournament at DE turf fields. Amazing location for this purpose. The house and property were awesome and clean. Our kids (even the teens) really enjoyed the farm animals! The home is in a quiet neighborhood and very close to everything in town. The owners are so nice too, and gave great suggestions for local sights. We will definitely look to stay here again if in the area, highly recommend!

We had the most amazing stay at Miller Farms. The host was wonderful, the cottage was clean, well-stocked, charming and comfortable, and it was perfect for my family. We loved the cottage, which is in a perfect location. We were minutes away from the fairgrounds where we had a tournament, and the beaches were nearby as well. We could quickly and easily get any food or supplies that we needed, but the farm is surrounded by beautiful nature - it was the best of both worlds. Lastly, the cows and goats were so sweet and charming! This group of city people were delighted to get to interact with them, and the boys loved them so much, we heard them telling their teammates about them. . We hope to stay here for the future WKA tournaments, and had a the best visit to this lovely property.

Comfy-Clean-Slice of heaven…

This lil cottage is a slice of heaven on earth! The land and scenery is breathtaking! We came to visit our son who is recently stationed at Dover Air Force Base and our party of 5 truly enjoyed our stay here. It was super comfy, super clean and had everything we needed. We will definitely book again when we return!

Cozy cottage delight

We were just looking for something simple and local to the turf complex. I didnt realize when i booked how amazing the property is. We were greated by their goats and cat named double stuff. My 12 year old instantly fell in love and we all felt at home. I 100% recommend this space to anyone looking for a slice of heaven. We travel often and this experience was by far our families favorite.

We found the house clean, well supplied and in a beautiful setting. We enjoyed going out every morning and feeding the goats and Bonnie, the horse. It was such a nice, relaxing place to return to each each afternoon. If we were ever to return to this area , we would definitely try to stay here.

Serenity

The Miller cottage was the perfect place for my son and I to stay during his visit. We really enjoyed interacting with the animals and walking the trails. The house is extremely cozy and anything you could need is provided. The location is great for taking day trips to the beaches. The town of Milford and surrounding area have plenty to offer too. I highly recommend a stay here!

Peaceful Country Life

The friendly animals and screend in porch were the highlights of our say. The cows literally ran across the field to say Hi to us when we arrived--- a fun welcome. And morning coffee and night-time watching the bats from the porch made me add that feature to my wish-list for retirement living. Will definitely stay here again if needed in the future

Anniversary Weekend

The cottage is cute and well maintained. The goats and Bonnie the horse are super friendly. We took the ferry over from Cape May and got in late. We made our way to Dogfish Head and Rehobeth, and took advantage of a delayed check out time to walk the trail down to Abbots pond. AWESOME place and time. We’re making excuses to come back.

Adorable Cottage

I’m embarrassed to say this was my first VRBO experience. I have to say I never want to stay in a hotel ever again!! This cottage was perfect for two teenage girls who loved playing with the farm animals and in between field hockey games at the DE turf complex they were exploring the trials. I was happy to cook our meals at the cottage and relax in a cozy environment! Thank you again!!

Wonderful Weekend With My Girls

So glad we spent the weekend at the beautiful cottage - loved the goats, pony and walking through the pasture to the nature center pond. You feel right at home as soon as you step in the door. It felt bright and cozy - and wow, heated floors! My high schooler and college kid kept complementing the decision to meet in such a special place. We chopped up our little carrots and had the greatest time feeding them. The extra friendly little one became her favorite. Thank you for a wonderful weekend!

We absolutely loved our stay at the cozy cottage! The Miller’s exceeded all expectations with an immaculately clean home, beautiful property and awesome animals my 3 year old (and my wife and I lol) loved feeding and petting. Having small children, we were so happy that it was only 1 floor having great space for all of our needs including the screen room to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning. We will most definitely be staying here again; My family and I can’t thank Duane and his family enough for such a lovely experience!

We are six moms who wanted a weekend away. We chose this cottage due to the presence of goats (who doesn’t love goats!) and were pleasantly surprised by having cows at our disposal, too! The cottage is located on a family property and has ample parking for multiple cars. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals; it has a keurig for morning coffee which we happily drank on the screened-in porch (under the watchful eye of the farm animals nearby at the fence!) You can access walking trails from the property which takes you to a nearby nature preserve- the walk is flat and very accessible. Less than a ten minute drive away is the town of Milford which had some super cute boutiques, antique stores, art galleries, and a great Mexican restaurant. The owners of the property, Duane and Theresa, were gracious, friendly and very accommodating. Clean-up and check-out were a breeze! Each of us intends to go back with our own families and we definitely want to spend another girls weekend here. We miss the animals already!
