Warm, cozy and clean
Enjoyed my short stay of peace and quiet that I needed for a few days away to focus on a project. The place worked out just fine. The home was very comfortable and clean.Its added convenience to local commerce was a pleasant plus. Finally, the host was responsive and very accommodating Thanks again Helen, Happy Holidays!

Never Disappoints
This is my 3rd stay at Grandma’s Cottage and it didn’t disappoint. It’s quaint, convenient to all things Milford, Dover and the beaches. I consider it my home away from home when I am in the area. I’ll be back.

The cottage was quaint and met the needs we had just fine. Great working heat and plenty to cook with if desired, coffee was fantastic! The only unexpected thing was the house located directly next to the cottage (I’d estimate less than 12 feet to the left). In the original photos I saw that convinced me to book, it appeared the cottage was more private than it actually is, but we still had an overwhelming positive stay!

Very Relaxing, Immaculate Accommodations
Grandma’s Cottage was exactly what we needed ! It was very quiet, with many nice hiking trails, fishing spots, stores & restaurants just a short drive away. The cottage was so clean & comfortable, with a beautiful lake setting. Everything we needed and more was provided. Helen & TJ were great hosts & take great pride in maintaining Grandma’s Cottage. They were very friendly & right next door if we needed anything…yet gave us our privacy. We’ve already booked a return trip. You won’t be disappointed if you book a getaway to Grandma’s Cottage !!

Relaxing stay at Grandmas Cottage
Grandmas Cottage looks exactly like the pictures, but is bigger inside. I have to say every inch of this cottage was immaculate. The grounds and gardens are welcoming. The outside chairs facing the lake are a great spot to read, drink your morning coffee or watch geese and ducks. Stores and restaurants easy to find. Self check-in and basic rules for check out easy to follow. Kudos to Helen & Walter for providing such a comfortable place to stay. I highly recommend and would rent again.

We loved the beauty of the surroundings, and the peace and quiet that make it a very restful place. We met the hosts and they were very hospitable and kind. The views of the lake provide wonderful opportunities for sketching and painting—and for simply enjoying! And, the cottage itself is beautifully decorated and very welcoming.
