One of a Kind Cozy Carriage House on a Private Historic Estate- outside NYC
Nestled in the heart of suburban New Jersey, just a stone's throw away from the bustling metropolis of New York City, lies an idyllic retreat that will transport you to a world of serenity and vintage charm. "One of the Best... in NJ" Conde Nast Traveler Jan. 2023 and March 2025. Welcome to a private 3-bedroom carriage house, set on a historic estate that is an "oasis in a metropolis" "hyggie vibe". Experience a one of a kind American gem. Dog and Kids Welcome. Free Parking.
As you step through the doors of the carriage house, you'll immediately feel a sense of calm wash over you. With plenty of natural light flooding the space and views of courtyard and natural pond just beyond, you'll feel like you've been transported to a world far away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The home boasts three bedrooms, each thoughtfully decorated with vintage-inspired accents that add to the overall ambiance of the space. Whether you're travelling with family, friends, or colleagues, there is plenty of room for everyone to spread out and make themselves at home. The home has 1 full bath and 1/2 bath on the main floor. Relax in the full living room with cozy fireplace or in the sun room which also provides a great work-space. The full kitchen has full refrigerator, dishwasher, stove/oven, keurig, coffee maker, toaster, microwave, airfryer, many additional amenities. Enjoy the courtyard or your own patio area behind the carriage house to take in the sounds of nature and overlook the courtyard in front or your private seating/dining area in the rear of the house. One of the things that sets the home apart is the complete privacy that it offers. Unlike other vacation rentals where you may be sharing common spaces with other guests, the interior of the carriage house is entirely yours to enjoy during your stay. Whether you're looking to curl up with a good book in one of the cozy reading nook or spend time outdoors, you will feel as if you stepped back in time and can unwind. (Pardon us as some garden renovations/restoration continue/yard not fully fenced). You may encounter other guests/hosts/ maintenance in the gardens or they may see in other structures on the estate.

The home was so comfortable and the owner decorated it so nicely for the holidays. It truly is a one of a kind place and the location could not have been better. We would stay there again if we were in the area.
My two brothers and I stayed here. The house is cosy and there's plenty of room. Communication with our hosts was easy and we had everything we needed. Two things to know are that the stairs are steep and the twin bed is better for kids or someone 5'7" or under -- which I am so I got that room. The outside area looked nice and I can imagine it would be great to have in the spring or summer. Another plus was the water dispenser on the fridge. The beds were comfy and the rooms are all a good size, even the smallest bedroom. Would stay here again.
This property is in an ideal location. It's a short ride from Newark airport. It was the perfect size and space for us to stay while we were in town for a wedding. Plenty of parking and it felt very safe and secure. The host was wonderful and recommended an Italian restaurant across the street that was terrific! This was a win!
The house had charm and space for our family of 4, beds were comfortable and kitchen was supplied with everything we needed. Our hosts were available and responded promptly to questions. The check in check out process was easy! Highly recommend this beautiful property!
My husband and I had a thoroughly relaxing and comfortable stay in Crane’s Cottage. The cottage was charmingly decorated, well appointed and equipped, spacious, conveniently located to all amenities and spotlessly clean. We look forward to returning.
Our stay at the Cottage was very pleasant and just what we needed. Our hosts, Loretta and Mark, were terrific and were always available. Since we knew the area well, it was easy for us to get around and we felt at home staying in the Cottage.
This historic home is a terrific find. It is very clean , beautifully decorated, and set on a lovely, large piece of property. The description Mark wrote on VRBO is spot on.
The house is centrally located. Restaurants, shops, library and the bus to New York are all within walking distance.
This stay made a business trip to the area so much more enjoyable than a hotel would have been!!
The cottage was clean and cozy. I did not do any cooking in the kitchen, it could definitely use a remodel. The bedroom were very comfortable and clean. It was just myself and my dog, so perfect for the two of us, but definitely room for more. The area was very nice to explore and everything was accessible. The owners were easy to reach. Overall a good place to stay.
My husband and I returned to this lovely property having stayed here for a week last month. Returning, after weeks of travel we felt like we were coming home. It is such a comfortable, well-appointed, charming house, with plenty of room to spread out and we really enjoyed the W Caldwell area with its great restaurants, great shopping nearby and every possible amenity. It is also an easy shot via I 80 into NYC. Our hosts were so helpful and made our stay a pleasure. We are back in Nov and looking forward!
In dem gemütlich eingerichteten Cottage haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Zu viert hatten wir ausreichend Platz um entspannt Urlaub zu machen. Auf dem großen Grundstück stehen drei Wohngebäude und ein Schuppen. Durch viele Bäume und Grünpflanzen wirkt alles sehr harmonisch. Die netten Vermieter Marc und seine Frau wohnen im vorne stehenden Haupthaus und respektieren die Privatsphäre der Gäste. Wir bekamen gute Tipps für Ausflüge,Restaurants, etc. Obwohl man ruhig, beinahe autark wohnt, sind alle Geschäfte für den täglichen Bedarf fußläufig erreichbar. Gerne waren wir auch in der gegenüberliegenden Pizzeria zu Gast.
Leckere Pasta und Pizzen, freundlicher Service.
Wir würden das Cottage wieder mieten.
Comfortable and convenient and terrific family time
Hosts were welcoming and helpful. Easy and smooth check in and check out with all necessary information. Our family of five adults plus well behaved dogs enjoyed a comfortable stay. A home away from home! The location was convenient to many local activities and we would definitely stay again. Thank you Mark and Loretta !
This was our second stay at this charming, well kept property. Immaculately clean and well supplied with room to spread out.
Mark and Loretta are experienced hosts, available but respectful of their guests privacy.
West Caldwell is a charming town with terrific restaurants.
Enjoy your stay!!
We spent Christmas and New Years at this beautiful historic cottage. We gathered with family and friends and relaxed by the fire during our much needed long holiday break. I plan on hosting the holidays again at this cottage in the future.
