Charming and quaint

We spent the last 3 nights at this wonderful home and didn’t want to leave. It was the perfect place for my family to reconnect and relax. Long hikes, exploring towns all around and then coming back to enjoy a hot chocolate near the wood stove. Would stay again in a heart beat! Do yourself a favor and book this place.

6/10 Okay

Entrance steps were dangerous- stairs were steep and slippery- no basic olive oil for cooking morning eggs or jam for toast. Lovely view of water - trails nice- wish we had brought our dogs! Bed barely large enough for 2 tall people but fine for 2 nites. Shower could be improved.

Beautiful, peaceful property

Beautiful, charming home on a peaceful, quiet property. Close to town with plenty of restaurants to choose from, but also a nicely stocked kitchen to cook meals as well! The owner, Kerri-Lee, was so kind and always easy to communicate with along the way - from booking to check in to recommendations! We enjoyed so much time on the beautiful, peaceful back porch and yard with incredible views, but also found ourselves nice and cozy indoors during bad weather! We had a wonderful stay!

Second Time is (also) a Charm

We loved this home so much, we decided to do it again! And the second trip was as good as the first. This is such a cozy, quiet and well appointed home. Kerri is a dream host, from the communication to the overall service. The three towns close by (Salisbury, Lakeville, Millerton) all offer unique experiences but it’s so hard to leave the house. I’d recommend this place for every season and every occasion.

Delightful stay

This is a most pleasant property- the outside views and the whole house opening up to the back deck is very nice. Everything well stocked and in good repair, very clean and over-all very interesting mix of decor.

Excellent Get-Away in rural Connecticut

A very comfortable and well-equipped house in a lovely setting. Porch is very comfortable for outdoor eating. Good library with classic and modern titles. Kerri-Lee was very responsive to all email questions and provided helpful information for dog walks as well. A pleasure to stay there.

Homey in the Hills (and really close to the lake!)

Our family of 4 decided on getting away one last time for summer 2019...and luckily Fern Rock Cottage was available for a 4-night midweek stay. Communicating with Kerri was always quick, friendly and informative. There was no one to meet at the house, just a key-code and you're good to go. Just like the pics show, the house is the refined rustic escape you'd expect in a mountain/lake house. The deck in the back is fantastic...and every room downstairs has French doors that open to calm-inducing views of trees, grass, hills, and a lake. The master bedroom has a small wraparound terrace with a table and chairs for gazing at stars (which we did) and having your morning coffee. Lots to do and all very convenient; We enjoyed the lake, we went to a few antique shops, Great Barrington, we hit Fudgie's in Amenia, trekked up to Lion's Head, sampled beers at Great Falls Brewing in Canaan and competitive Rummikub every night at the round table in the center room. Lots of great memories! We loved it!

Sweet getaway

We spent a month at this Lakeville cottage and it was perfect: quiet and relaxing, with close proximity to the things we wanted to do. Hosts were thoughtful and quick to respond to inquiries. Highly recommended.

Perfect Weekend Cottage Getaway!

We absolutely loved our stay at Fern Rock Cottage. Nestled on a hilltop overlooking a beautiful pond, it was just perfect for our lovely weekend getaway. The home is decorated so perfectly with touches in every room that are so thoughtful and cozy. Also, just a moment of sitting on the back deck taking in the sounds and idyllic views made it tough to go home! On top of all of that Keri-Lee went out of her way reaching out and providing ample details to make sure that we had a wonderful stay. To arrive and find a delicious bottle of Pinot Noir after a long drive was an incredible treat!

A Peaceful Sanctuary 80 Miles from NYC

This home was the perfect respite from the city. It is very well appointed, with stunning views, quiet cozy rooms, and a beautiful deck for outdoor lounging or dining. The location is ideal as well, basically within 2/3 miles of Millerton, NY, Salisbury, CT, and Lakeville, CT. Kerri was a superb host, communicative throughout the process, and making sure the home was ready for our arrival. I can’t give the experience enough stars.

Beautiful Setting and Thoughtful Host

We had a relaxing time staying at Kerri's cottage in Lakeville. From the beginning, she was highly attentive and responsive to our inquiries. The cottage has a beautiful pastoral view and the surrounding area has plenty of places to explore.

Peaceful and relaxing

Our group of 5 adults + 1 doodle loved our long-weekend stay at Kerri's property. The space is beautifully decorated, a ton of books to peruse, and plenty of space for all of us to sit, cook, eat, and spend time together. The property is very clean and has everything we needed to cook a big feast for my husband's birthday dinner. Our little dog loved running in the snowy back yard. Kerri was quick to reply to any questions and emailed to check in on us upon arrival. We also enjoyed the bottle of wine and our dog love the treats!

Lovely Cottage and Beautiful Setting

We are so grateful that we found this gem of a cottage for our recent stay in the Northwest Corner of Connecticut. Part of its appeal is certainly aesthetic; and while we didn't know how four adults would adapt to sharing one full bath and a half bath- that turned out to be a non- issue. When we weren't on the go, we took refuge in the cozy and lovely interiors and truly loved sitting out on the back porch that overlooks a great expanse of green that led down to the small lake in the distance. Highly recommend the back porch for breakfast and pre- dinner gathering. Thank you for generously opening your home to strangers. What a great gift to us. Pam, Jake, Blair and Caro
