Spacious well appointed comfortable cottage in a great location near anything you could need, quiet and beautiful. Enjoyed a long weekend and can’t wait to return one day. Very thoughtful owners- had snow in April and every morning the path was cleared and sweep for the car was ready and waiting.
Jeffrey’s cottage is perfect for a Litchfield getaway - quiet and peaceful yet within close striking distance to restaurants, shops, etc. The space is well-equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay and communication was a breeze. Our only hope is that next time we’ll be able to stay longer!
Spent three nights at this cottage and enjoyed it very much. Beautiful area returned to after a long time.
Definitely recommended.

This property was lovely. As a former resident in CT, I appreciate the New England charm. The house was pristine. Unfortunately I was in for a memorial and during a snow storm. Jeffrey and his family were so accommodating and so kind to us. I highly recommend this home. I would not hesitate to stay there again.

We stayed at this lovely New England home for Christmas. We are originally from the area and traveled to spend the holidays with family. We were lucky enough to have a white Christmas and the kids were thrilled, as we now live in NC and don’t get snow often. The hosts were lovely and attentive, even bringing over a couple of sleds for us to use and we had a blast. Would definitely recommend to anyone for this perfect country setting spot, that is also convenient to restaurants and shopping.
Jeff was an absolutely great host! The cottage was so beautiful inside and out. Everything was there, we didn't need to bring anything with us. Jeff even made sure we had a brush to clean off our cars after a snow storm. We were able to have a cozy fire with wood provided by Jeff. The cottage was so close to everything. I would highly recommended this host and property.
Absolutely lovely home in a gorgeous place. Quiet and comfortable with everything we needed. House and property very well maintained and furnished. Can’t wait to stay there again. So grateful to hosts for sharing this place with us!
Beautiful home - perfect for our family to stay in over the holidays when there wasn’t enough room At the family home where we were visiting. Just note that although it states 3 bedrooms it is really 2 bedrooms - master on first floor and open space on 2nd floor (no door to the second floor) with 4 beds. It worked for my 3 kids but not sure it would work for ppl looking to have more privacy And separate bedrooms.

Hosts were very accommodating and are next door. Property is beautiful. The home is spacious, comfortable, extremely clean and well-stocked, and has that wonderful New England charm. Jeff provided reccos for dining and nature that proved to be perfect. We missed the autumn colors by a week or so….so may just have to go back to enjoy that next year
Jeff the owner was a pleasure to deal with. The property was immaculate and beautiful, it had everything you could possibly need. My daughter and I locked ourselves out and Jeff came to our rescue.
Comfortable colonial cottage on beautiful property was the perfect place to stay in the Litchfield Hills area. It provided everything we needed for a relaxing weekend away.
Our stay in Litchfiled was wonderful. The town offers all of the New England charm we were hoping for when we picked it. Jeff's cottage is beautiful and a great size for our party which included 3 adults and 3 children.
Beautiful home with great spaces for kids in the single beds in the attic and adults on main floor master. If you’re looking for a getaway to stay and explore Litchfield or ski on Mohawk, this place is great.
What a great house, convenient location, and owners couldn’t be better. Kitchen was well stocked with cookware and basics. Nice backyard and beautiful property overall. We will definitely keep this place in mind for future visits.
Beautifully renovated and charming property. Wonderful landscaping and views, thoughtful architectural details throughout. Great flow. The bedroom portion of the master suite is private, enabling easy access to the large, main bath for families or friends traveling together. 1/2 bath downstairs also nicely designed and accessible. Great light! Upstairs serves as a wonderful bunk room with private niches, window seats, etc
Jeff and Karin are gracious hosts. Quick to respond to inquiries and needs. The property is beautiful and the sunsets amazing. We will stay again in the future!
