The ever-changing view of the marshes, all the wildlife and sunset is peaceful and fascinating. The cottage is well-equipped and comfortable, even in early spring. Quiet, remote, charming and still close to all the interesting towns and activities nearby. We loved the 3 huge windows next to the table for our many scrabble games and meals. Truly a sanctuary. ##### Elizabeth R. Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Liza L. 29 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing views and cute house Just an incredible location directly on the water. House is adorable and the bed was very comfortable (an important consideration for me) House seems to be managed by an outside company. Very responsive by message but obviously not local or nearby. ##### Liza L. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 10 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Perfect Getaway We booked the home at the last minute because we wanted to get away for the weekend. The listing was amazing and being situated waterside made it perfect for an unusually warm November. It was even better than the listing! A deck, a balcony, amazing sights of sunsets and moon sets far exceeded our expectations. It was one of the most beautiful bnbs we have rented. We had a little trouble at first with the internet, but the Vacasa folks helped with that....and then we discovered the password on the fridge...should have looked there first. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [The Stockbridge Country Inn Closest B&B to Norman Rockwell Museum and Chesterwood](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stockbridge-Hotels-Stockbridge-Country-Inn.h2759009.Hotel-Information) > - [The "Big House" with..
