Very clean, pleasant host, ample space, interesting activities and food options nearby
Wonderful stay! The home was very comfortable and well stocked, with plenty of toiletries and supplies so we had everything we needed. Jeff was a fantastic host - friendly helpful and responsive. He even lent us a sled for the hill in the backyard and helped clear snow by our car after a foot of snow fell on our second night. We really enjoyed our time here and can’t wait to visit again.
The 1870 Cape Cottage is a lovely house, beautifully appointed, and very comfortable. It is in a stunning and peaceful setting. The hosts are welcoming and kind. We were so pleased with our stay.
We had the pleasure of staying two nights at this splendid property and thoroughly enjoyed the stay. It is a very comfortable and attractive home. Our host made arrival and departure easy and provided for all our needs. We will try to book again when back in the area.
We had a lovely stay! Pictures don't do this cottage justice. Beautiful inside, spotless, beautiful property, very comfortable. Kitchen and bathrooms are fully stocked for guests. Host is very kind. Thank you, Jeff!
Just a wonderful cottage on a quiet street just outside of charming Bantam. The hosts are lovely and helpful and the cottage is very well equipped. The pool was perfect for the Indian Summer weather as well. I’m sure we will be back.
The architectural design was beautiful and the home had everything you need to make your stay comfortable.

Property was great and the owners thought of everything. Instructions were clear and helpful! Didn’t want for a thing, such a lovely space to spend a few days and so close to Litchfield and Bantam shops and restaurants. We loved it!!
We had a great 2 night stay here. The host responded quickly to a few questions, and was gracious and friendly while there. The house met our needs, with a bedroom downstairs, and then a large room upstairs that has 3 beds with a lot of room, etc. It was clean and updated in the kitchen and main bathroom. Nice view out the back and a patio for enjoying that. Location was great - out on a beautiful country road, but just a few minutes to town. Would recommend.
We were hoping for a quiet, romantic getaway—and this cottage delivered beautifully. From the moment we stepped inside, we felt right at home. The pictures really do capture the place well. The space is cozy, well cared for, and struck the perfect balance of nostalgic charm and modern comfort. The bathroom tub was an absolute highlight—ideal for unwinding and reconnecting. We also really appreciated the thoughtful guide left by the host, which helped us discover a few local gems we might’ve otherwise missed. This stay was exactly what we needed.
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!

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.
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!
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.
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.
Such a beautiful home! Very clean and organized and a great place to stay for our wedding weekend. Jeff is an excellent host. We can’t wait to come back.

Absolutely beautiful house, very spacious and clean.
Stocked up with everything you could possibly need. Very comfortable beds.
Very helpful hosts also. We will definitely be back.
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!
All the amenities you could need in a tastefully renovated and extended cottage with history. Surroundings divine to sit out and savor too. Host a delight to deal with. Highly recommended.
