    This was the perfect home for our Thanksgiving getaway! Our hosts prepared for a smooth arrival and easy stay while we were in Guilford. We were greeted each morning by lovely sunrises over the marsh and our dog loved exploring the surroundings. And we even made an apple pie - our first! - and it turned out great. Thanks again!

    A cozy home with beautiful views, great location - quiet, secluded, yet convenient to all - we spent a wonderful week. Particularly loved the sights and sounds of the marsh inhabitants - rabbits, deer, ducks - and the bird songs provided a lovely soundtrack to our time spent enjoying the property.

    My wife, dog and I loved our stay at this house. The views were amazing. Loved listening to all the birds and watching the sunrises and sets from the dining room windows. The house was very dog friendly. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook with so it was perfect for our needs.

    Everything was excellent, plenty of room for people to sit and visit. The deck and screened in porch are a bonus! My only wish is for a footstool, something to put my feet on. I finally put a folded towel on the glass top table. That worked! We really enjoyed our stay and will stay there next year if it's available!

    We stayed from 7/31 until 8/6. The home is exactly as described and pictured. It has wonderful views of a river and marsh where we watched deer, ducks, herons and other wildlife. The home is very close to many attractions and restaurants in Guilford including the beautiful town dock area and Jacobs beach. As we periodically visit the area, we will be using this home again as it suited all our needs. We contacted the owner Janet twice with two questions and she very quickly answered them. A+

    We had the pleasure of staying at this cottage for a little over 2 weeks. The view of the meadow and the wildlife was a pleasure to wake up to everyday. I am a bird enthusiast and the variety of breeds were truly impressive from egrets, herons, red wing black birds, osprey, and the usual songbirds. We also saw woodchucks and rabbits. We cooked a lot and hosted a couple family dinners. The kitchen is very well stocked with an excelent grill, equipment, spices, and a few basic food supplies. The main bedroom had a very comfortable bed while the twins are a bit firm. There is more than enough linens and towels for our family of 4. The proximity to all things Guilford was perfect as we have dozens of family in the area and our favorite shops and restaurants ie. Bishops Orchard, Big Y, The Place, Ashleys ice cream, Guilford Green shops and restaurants, Guilford Free Library are all within 5-10 minutes. We would definitely consider renting this cottage again.

    We loved staying at this house. It was my wife and I, and her 14-year-old daughter. The owners are the best, and they are very accommodating. The house has everything you need, and the views are relaxing after a day running around or at work. This place is very close to the 95 freeway, and the downtown area has plenty of shops and restaurants. We will stay there again for sure.
