About this property

Cozy Cottage in Historic Lewes Delaware

This small cottage is perfect for two adults, a great romantic getaway. Upstairs is one queen bed, downstairs is the main room, small kitchen, and bathroom. The Cottage is surrounded by beautiful gardens and is very charming with its own outdoor eating terrace. The owner's house is also on the property. The Cottage is not good for tall people - you need to watch your head on the stairs and on the top of the door between the kitchen and the main room. The cottage is not suitable for children or animals, it is compact and has a small refrigerator. It is an easy walk, 6 blocks, into the historic town of Lewes, and there are plenty of great and varied restaurants nearby. The beach is a five minute car ride or an 18 minute walk. TV and Wi-Fi are provided.

Charming cottage in a lovely garden
The cottage is charming and full of light, and is outfitted with everything I needed to make my stay comfortable. The garden with its patio and fountains is a special treat. It is wonderful to be within a short walk of downtown Lewes and yet still be in a quiet location, and just off the fantastic bike/walking paths. I have stayed in this cottage a few times and am already looking forward to my next opportunity!

Amazing Little Cottage
This was such a great find, my husband and felt like we had everything we needed. The cottage was very clean and nicely decorated. The bed was comfortable, the host thought of every detail. The patio is beautiful and the location is close to everything. Wouldn’t change a thing!

Absolutely wonderful!
The cottage is adorable, charming, beautifully decorated, and has everything you need for a truly enjoyable stay. The owners’ garden is paradise! Close to everything - walking and biking distance to everything that matters in lovely Lewes. The owners were delightful and friendly and more than respectful of my privacy.

Couple’s Retreat
This is such a beautiful and quaint cottage! Perfect for a couple or solo traveler. The photos don’t do it justice. There’s a reason why it has a 5-star rating and is fully booked for the entire summer season. It is very comfortable and well maintained. We had a great time staying here. The cottage is super clean and well appointed. We enjoyed using the outdoor patio space for meals. It was also nice to have two separate toilets. :) The kitchen refrigerator is small, so there’s limited food storage if you plan to cook a lot. But, with so many great restaurants and a local market with pre-made food nearby, there’s really no need to do much cooking. The Keurig was also well stocked for coffee lovers. As others have shared, the cottage is on a busy street and if you leave the windows open you can be awakened by trucks that start driving the road early in the morning. But with them closed there is little noise. The bed was also a bit stiff for my liking, but the pillows and duvet comforter were super comfy and soft. I hope we have the chance to return next summer!
