The Garden Cottage

$200.00/night high season 5/15-10/31
$125.00/night off season 11/1-5/14

 

This cozy little 300 sq. ft. building built in the 1950’s was formerly a milk house for the dairy on our property. Over the winter, we have transformed it into a cute, country cottage perfect for your romantic vacation getaway with a queen bed, a little bathroom, and a separate shower room. Right outside the back door of the cottage, you’ll find a cute little screened-in “Camper Kitchen” for anyone interested in making breakfast for their beloved. It has pots and pans, cooking utensils, a few herbs and spices, dishes etc. You’re welcome to peruse our gardens for herbs and veggies in season to supplement your breakfast creation. We call it the Garden Cottage because it is surrounded by gardens and flowers and offers a lot of privacy.

Standard rates are per night and assume 2 guests per room. There is not enough room in either cottage for an additional cot, yet we do welcome children.
