An amazing stay!

Our business held our staff retreat here while running basketball camps in the area. The proximity to the great downtown area, amenities, and attention to details made it one of the best VRBO experiences I’ve ever had!

Revisiting hometown memories

My daughter and I stayed for a week while we were handling some family business. Our mornings were glorious as we walked through the community to Central Park and up Main Street. The location is convenient to the parks and restaurants; the backyard is comfortable for relaxing morning and evening; the kitchen stocked well; the bedrooms comfortable and stylishly decorated. I would definitely choose this property again for a MIlford visit.

Perfect Girls Night

This was the perfect spot for our girls night. We enjoyed every part of the house and yard. The fire pit was the perfect touch to the cool night. One down side was that we only stayed one night. Thank you, Brandy, for a wonderful and beautiful place to stay!

Overall the house was in great shape. There were many nice touches, like snacks and coffee, everything in the bathroom was organized and labeled. The location is perfect. The only drawback is having just one bathroom.

Charming, Clean, Excellent Location

I cannot say enough wonderful things about our stay! We selected this rental to attend a local wedding and made it a long weekend. This house is adorable, super clean, and the host has thought of everything a group would need to have a comfortable and entertaining stay. The coffee/tea bar, locally brewed root beer on tap, cozy family room with soft blankets, comfortable bedding, and wonderfully stocked kitchen! We walked into Milford to shop and eat and enjoyed a day at Kensington Park a short drive away. Brandy was amazing and so accommodating for everything we needed!

About the host

Hosted by Brandy

Host profile image
Greetings! My husband Dom and I had our first date in Milford. We fell in love with the town so much, we decided to move here 10 years later! This town is magical to us so we want to extend the charm and hospitality to you!

Why they chose this property

This beautiful home was built in 1866 and has been beautifully restored by its previous owners. Located just one block from Main Street, you will be within a few minutes walk to the very best Milford has to offer. We have equipped the home with everything (and more) you and your family will need to feel right at home. Inside, there are several spaces to spread out. The back yard is beautiful, expansive and loaded with activities.

What makes this property unique

The fixtures and furnishings within the home are new and thoughtfully chosen for the space, while several original details have been maintained to preserve the original beauty and character of the home. All mattresses are high end and new. The outdoor fire pit, grill and bocce court allow for hours of outdoor fun!
