Our stay at the 1720 Stephen Smith House cottage couldn’t have been better. Everything was perfect. Comfortable, quiet, clean, well equipped. Tasteful decor, mid-century modern, country antiques, decorative items from nature, and IKEA merged. Landscaped grounds are beautiful. Woods behind the cottage lovely, viewed from the glassed-in porch that serves as a living room. Host Mike was warm, gracious, even gave us a tour of his beautiful property. His recommended restaurants in Chester were very good. We will be back.

Mike was very welcoming and friendly. You can tell so much effort & care was taken to put this place together and maintain it. Felt so lucky to have discovered it & it’s been my most favorite & special place I’ve visited in quite some time. The towns nearby are all charming with great eats, the property & surroundings are all stunning and peaceful. Felt extremely safe & private.Willow was the cherry on top at the end. Already thinking about coming back.

This was our second stay at the cottage and it was somehow even better than the first! The pool is so clean and kept at a comfortable temp. The kitchen has everything you need to cook at the cottage. And if you’re in to beer, Treehouse Brewing is an easy hour drive (well worth it!). I’d stay here the whole summer if I could. Mike is great and makes your stay easy and comfortable. Couldn’t ask for a better host!

This is my and my husband’s second time staying at Mike’s cottage and in short: we love it and plan to go back next year. We cannot recommend it enough (for a more in-depth review, read what I posted last year).

You might think the pictures make this place look too good to be true, and you would be very wrong. Reality exceeds expectations in every way. The house was spotless, cozy, and well appointed down to the perfect linens. The property...it's just next level beautiful. Ferns, a stream, hiking trails, carpets of moss - just magical, and I don't use that term lightly. I found a good amount to do in the area, but I would have been happy just sitting staring at the redwood next to the house the whole time. And don't even get me started on the pool. I spent an entire day in/next to it. Everything about this location is perfect, and it may just become my go-to vacation spot.
