Worked great for us. 6 minutes from Lime Rock Park where we race. Clean and nicely decorated.

This was my fifth visit and my wife's fourth, and fortunately, nothing much has changed, except for some nice new deck furniture. Once we unpack and settle in, the quiet and beauty of the cottage and its location transform us. We will continue to make our April visit an annual tradition.

My son and I wanted a place to stay where we could just take a deep breath and relax. This is the perfect spot! No one guessed it would be 0° for 2 days ... but there was plenty of heat AND a fireplace to keep us warm. We actually turned the heat down and shut fireplace off because the den is so cozy. We bought several days of food and made good use of the kitchen to make dinners. (No dishwasher but no needed.) The bedrooms were terrific! The bed in the master BR was superb. Soft bedding, excellent pillows and terrific duvet with extra blankets. The other BR is upstairs. Equally comfortable and attached to a private sitting area with nice couches (the music room). We opted for the stained glass windows, fireplace, couch and easy chair downstairs, but the other area is a bonus. The art in the house is lovely - all calling you to look closer. We laughed at the hidden light switches - we were stumped - but found the answer(s) in the cottage handbook. The dark wood throughout the house was truly lovely. The various handpaintings in the house were nice. Because it was so cold, we did not open other doors to the back of the house to go to the back porch. The house is ON the banks of the Housatonic River - it froze over for most of our stay. That's cold. We saw a train pass under the area below the house. Cool! We hoped to have breakfast in the room connected to the Master BR but it was too cold. Something to look forward to on our next visit! We will be back in a few weeks. Thank you Danielle and Mario!

Perfect long weekend getaway for four adults. Nice quiet location to rejuvenate. The back porch is the perfect place for morning coffee. You could spend a couple hours just poking around the art work. Danielle was a great host and responsive to every question..

Beautiful property in perfect location. Better than the photos.

The house is wonderful. Maintains the old charm of it being built in the 1800's, with the modern upgrades of today. The gas fire place was wonderful on the cool evenings/mornings. There was a slight musty odor when we arrived, sprayed some lysol and problem solved. Great area for a very relaxing weekend or vacation. Had a great time and would stay again!

Just as advertised! Lovely, comfortable, clean. Stairs to second floor are a little steep but great lighting and railing are a huge help. We would love to return!

We enjoyed your stay -- appreciated the river views and access to hiking and biking nearby.

The Cottage at Great Falls is an absolutely perfect place to spend a weekend or longer. The house is beautifully appointed and maintained. Situated on a treed lot on a bank overlooking the Housatonic, the atmosphere is simply one of peaceful beauty. We had a very enjoyable and relaxing stay. Thanks Danielle!

Our second time in this unique house. It is filled with beautiful art and glass creations by the owners. Its location on the river means that the cool breeze keeps the temperature in a perfect zone. Danielle and Mario are wonderful and keep everything in perfect shape. We are so fortunate to stay here. Already planning our next trip.

Wow! If you are even slightly considering booking this little cottage, do it!! Pictures don't do it justice. Upon arrival, you feel like you've entered a European stone cottage! The river views are stunning! Mario and Danielle have thought of everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible. We can't wait to plan a return visit!

Very well maintained. Deck to sit outside on and look over the river. Well equipped kitchen. Comfortable beds. A lot of interesting objects to admire in the cottage. Quiet. Restful. Short drives to restaurants, coffee shop, and shopping.

Very easy, no problems

This cottage is filled with beauty, art and whimsy. The bedding was extremely clean and comfortable. Danielle is a wonderful host. Checked off all our boxes for sure. Highly recommend.

This was my fourth stay here and my wife's third, and we still get excited about staying here. The beauty and quiet of the location, the charm of the cottage, and the abundant wildlife make for the perfect place to unwind and recharge. We were disappointed we didn't see any trains this time, but we did see a black bear walking along the tracks! We'll be back again.

If you want to get away from everything, this is the place. It is right in the water. The sound of the waterfall is amazing.

Had a wonderful escape on a weekend that turned into a winter wonderland. Amazing location with everything you need, and a little more beskdes.

This stay was the perfect girls weekend quiet getaway. Quiet road, quiet neighbors, and a cozy small town feel. Great boutique shopping between Salisbury CT and Lee, MA. Truly enjoyed it.

Such a beautiful and eclectic appointed special cottage. Overlooking the Housatonic River with Great Falls just a short distance away. Had everything we needed for a wonderful stay.

We wanted a quiet place to recuperate from watching three of our grandsons on a daily basis. Upon entering we felt as if we had been transported to a villa in the Italian countryside. Obviously a lot of talent and pride was accessed when updating this home. I especially liked the marble work in the bathroom. Thankyou for sharing this special place with us. Hope to make it back again soon.

This was my second stay at the cottage and it has been perfect both times. It has beautiful views of the river and is very close to the great falls. The cottage is very quiet and comfortable for 2 people. It also showcases some of the wonderful artwork that the owners have created which adds to the charm. It was a delightful visit!

This charming artisan home is the perfect place for relaxing by the flowing Housatonic River. The art work is so beautiful, the views from the balcony are calming and the home is very well equipped.

Staying here felt like vacationing in Italy. Breathtaking views of the Housatonic river, beautiful art work throughout the house and feeling like I was home the moment I walked through the door. I loved spending time relaxing, reading and just enjoying the beautiful surroundings. I look forward to returning next year in the fall. Danielle and Mario were wonderful hosts. Thank you again for a wonderful break from day to day life. It was magical.
