About this property

Escape to 'River Cottage. Ready for hiking, fishing, or a peaceful break?

  • Welcome to our private guest cottage in the charming town of Weston, CT. Located about 45 miles from NYC, this is the perfect getaway.
    Our enchanting two-bedroom cottage is perched near the tranquil Saugatuck River—one of Connecticut's finest trout fishing havens. A mere stroll from the cottage, this river setting offers a perfect blend of leisure and nature's charm.

    Our 1000-square-foot cottage features two cozy bedrooms, each furnished with comfortable double beds, ensuring a restful night's sleep. Guests will appreciate the brand-new bathroom, complete with a modern shower, blending comfort with convenience.

    Though compact, the kitchen has all the necessary amenities for a delightful home-cooking experience. It's perfect for preparing meals to enjoy indoors or by the riverside.

    The living room is a hub of relaxation and entertainment, offering Wi-Fi and a large-screen TV, ideal for movie nights or staying connected.

    Step outside to enjoy our nearby expansive fire pit area next to the river. It's a splendid spot for gathering, complete with chairs and firewood for those starlit nights.

    In addition to the natural beauty, we also offer a unique service for couples looking to tie the knot. Our picturesque back lawn, with the river's soothing presence, provides a romantic setting for intimate wedding ceremonies. We also have a resident Justice of the Peace.

    For those seeking adventure, superb hiking trails including one just down the street ( Trout Brook Valley, which is dog friendly) , offer various experiences from peaceful walks to more vigorous treks.

    Our cottage is set in an atmosphere of warmth and relaxation. As hosts, we are readily available to ensure your stay is comfortable and fulfilling. Experience the allure of Weston and the unique charm of our riverside cottage for a truly unforgettable getaway.
    Due to cleaning crew schedules, we can't accommodate late check-outs.

    Guest access
    The entire guest house and shared riverside lawn and fire pit are available to guests which is 75 yards away.

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.
