Despite being an older historical home, we did not experience any haunting. Good WiFi, comfortable furniture. Pretty location and very quiet. We never saw another person or car in the area. Only thing it needs is an air conditioner upstairs. We stayed in the summer time and it was stifling hot up there. Would stay again

Everything about this house is wonderful. The large deck faces the river and is an inviting place for morning coffee or a bbq. We grilled on the new Weber grill twice. The covered patio is a serene place to read or eat breakfast. The house is a gem, comfortable and warm, very clean and stocked well. The location is perfect. My wife worked on zoom and I bicycled daily. The hosts obviously take pride in what they do and were very communicative. This is the best vrbo we have ever been to. It was a great week in a beautiful home.

We loved our week - a great home base to explore the area: hiking, birdwatching and waterfalls. Thanks Mario and Danielle!

Languid river, tall trees in all their shaded canopy, and an artistic hideaway. A small nook to sit and enjoy breakfast or lunch in inclement weather. An expansive deck to enjoy in fair weather. And inside all the comforts of a caring home. Oh, and be sure to notice the intriguing, intricate artwork throughout.

Relaxing in Falls Village has become an annual event. This year we used the fireplace as 'ambience" rather than a necessity. The Housatonic was not frozen during this stay so we were able to hear the Falls. The house has has so many great places to sit and relax. Art is everywhere ! The den is perfect with couch and easy chair. The dining room and kitchen have the basics - even seasonings. The second floor is where my son finds some much needed rest on school break -,it also has another bedroom.. . Anyone in search of peace and relaxation will enjoy the tranquility at the cottage.

It was a snowy weekend in Connecticut, but the house was warm and cozy! We are now accustomed to visiting The Cottage. Danielle and Mario have created a beautiful interior complete with "artist corner" - books on the great artists. We just enjoy staring at the River, listening to the Falls and enjoying the fireplace. Very peaceful indeed. We are looking forward to another stay!
