Our host Robin made her “gardeners cottage” into our little home away from home with plenty of well stocked towels and sheets a cozy and very well equipped kitchen and possibly the best space economy for comfortable sleeping I’ve seen. Added to this was her obvious great taste and knowledge of color scheme and art, and this made for a really lovely stay! Close to Madison and Hamonasset so we will definitely try to return in warmer months! ##### John P K.

My kitty cat and I needed a place to stay for two weeks during an apartment renovation--and now we never want to leave!! Clinton is a perfect coastal village, with everything from a post office and wine shop to delicious lobster and the best library ever. I felt at home here from the first second and now it's truly difficult to go...Robin is a wonderful, responsive host and this cottage has hot water, a comfy bed, great work space, and a kitchen with all the fixins'! We hope to make this our home-away-from-home with many more visits in the future. What a gem--thank you for everything!! ##### Sandra C.
