We loved our extended stay at this warm country cottage nestled in the woods of Weston. Close to the Merritt Parkway and the Post Rd we had easy access to surrounding towns including Westport, New Canaan, Wilton, Fairfield and Norwalk. Lots of hiking trails nearby. Richard and Nicci are friendly and attentive hosts.

lori,was a wonderful guest, neat, respectful, and joy to have. I look forward to her and her family visiting again.
My hosts Richard and Nicki were warm and welcoming.I was staying alone and they were attentive and generous. The cottage was also warm and welcoming, comfortable and immaculate. I especially loved my mornings in the cozy porch with coffee and a view of stunning foliage. Enjoyed the nearby trails and proximity to friends and family. The perfect place to pause and reset.

We have visited the river cottage onto occasions. It is cozy, clean, and feels just like home. The amenities are great and all the small touches make it really enjoyable. The homeowners are wonderful. They are friendly and helpful. Looking forward to staying there again when we visit Our daughter in college.
Charming cottage in bucolic setting. Clean comfortable haven for my husband and self. Forested roadways put us in the heart of Fall’s glory. Nearby find hiking trails, lakes and the vibrant town of Westport, CT.
Owners were so gracious! Check in a breeze.
