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.

Charming cottage, beautiful location, wonderful hosts! Located on a beautiful stretch of river and near outstanding running and hiking.Highly recommend.
We had a delightful stay at the pristine, comfortable, and charming cottage! Richard was friendly and accommodating, and all our needs were met for a memorable weekend. Big thanks!
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.
We loved our time at the cottage. It has everything you need to be comfortable and content. The river is beautiful and the hosts are very accommodating and welcoming. Perfectly located for optimal peace while being close to two universities and Westport. Hope to visit again soon!

Highly recommend. We visited the River Cottage on our Anniversary trip to Connecticut! The cottage is quaint, relaxing and peaceful. The location is beautiful and convenient to hiking, parks, dining and shopping. The hosts are kind, respectful and welcoming! We cannot wait to stay here again.
The cottage is a very nice and private space with two good sized bedrooms, full kitchen, and great bathroom. Living room is very comfortable a well. Extremely clean space. Richard def went above and beyond.
We have visited the river cottage onto occasions. It is cozy, clean, and feels just like home. The amenities are great and all the small touches make it really enjoyable. The homeowners are wonderful. They are friendly and helpful. Looking forward to staying there again when we visit Our daughter in college.
Charming cottage in bucolic setting. Clean comfortable haven for my husband and self. Forested roadways put us in the heart of Fall’s glory. Nearby find hiking trails, lakes and the vibrant town of Westport, CT.
Owners were so gracious! Check in a breeze.
This was the perfect spot if you are attending any function in Fairfield. The house was great, location was great and Richard and his wife could not have been better hosts.
