Warm, cozy and clean

Enjoyed my short stay of peace and quiet that I needed for a few days away to focus on a project. The place worked out just fine. The home was very comfortable and clean.Its added convenience to local commerce was a pleasant plus. Finally, the host was responsive and very accommodating Thanks again Helen, Happy Holidays!

This is my 3rd stay at Grandma’s Cottage and it didn’t disappoint. It’s quaint, convenient to all things Milford, Dover and the beaches. I consider it my home away from home when I am in the area. I’ll be back.

Grandma's cottage was so quaint, welcoming and nostalgic. The cottage was clean the property was clean. It was so very quiet yet only 5 minutes from so many stores for shopping. It felt like a warm hug from Grandma just walking thru the door. We didn't want to leave and can't wait to go back! 10 stars

Grandma’s Cottage was very spacious, clean, cozy & close to many stores, restaurants, hiking trails, fishing lakes & even the Casino. The hosts (Helen & TJ) could not have provided a better experience. Everything you could need was provided. This was our 2nd time staying.

Great spot for rest and relaxation!

Our family was in town for a sports tournament weekend. The cottage was well equipped and comfortable for the 3 of us! We were able to rest and unwind after long days on the fields. We were able to cook meals and had a lovely stay. The host communication was great and easy through the app! Thank you for an excellent get away!

Our overall experience was Awesome...!!! We were there to attend a family's homegoing services, and the hosts made our stay very relaxing, peaceful and they provided the comfort that my daughter and I needed.... I would book them again...!!! They are also centrally located so that everything you need is only 5 to 10 minutes away.

Great cottage - clean, relaxing, close to sports fields

Exactly as shown in pictures and description. Cottage was very clean, relaxing, and close to the sports fields. Owner communicated well and was so very kind to let us know we left some items behind so we could go back & retrieve them after we ate lunch. Would definitely stay here again.

Very Relaxing, Immaculate Accommodations

Grandma’s Cottage was exactly what we needed ! It was very quiet, with many nice hiking trails, fishing spots, stores & restaurants just a short drive away. The cottage was so clean & comfortable, with a beautiful lake setting. Everything we needed and more was provided. Helen & TJ were great hosts & take great pride in maintaining Grandma’s Cottage. They were very friendly & right next door if we needed anything…yet gave us our privacy. We’ve already booked a return trip. You won’t be disappointed if you book a getaway to Grandma’s Cottage !!

Grandma's Cottage - Nostalgic, Quaint, Clean and Accommodating.

We had a wonderful long weekend stay at Grandma's Cottage. We had traveled from Lancaster County, Pa in an antique vehicle for a car show at the Dover Speedway. Although our daily commute was aprox 25 minutes, it was worth the drive to the Cottage. We spent our evenings at the Dining table eating, playing games and enjoying the view of the Lake. The stillness of the property and the ducks floating up and down the Lake reminded us to just be still and enjoy peace and quiet from our normal routine. Grandma's China Cupboard had a fascinating display of old dishes - like they were ready to put out if Grandma was expecting company. The Hosts live next door, but it still felt private. Best suited for two adults. If you are into kayaking, please check ahead for water level as this time it was too low at the dock. If we are ever in the area again, this is where we would want to stay.

Relaxing stay at Grandmas Cottage

Grandmas Cottage looks exactly like the pictures, but is bigger inside. I have to say every inch of this cottage was immaculate. The grounds and gardens are welcoming. The outside chairs facing the lake are a great spot to read, drink your morning coffee or watch geese and ducks. Stores and restaurants easy to find. Self check-in and basic rules for check out easy to follow. Kudos to Helen & Walter for providing such a comfortable place to stay. I highly recommend and would rent again.

Home away from home

We were in town for the Time of Harvest conference at Lighthouse Church. Grandmas Cottage was perfect! It was clean, cozy and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the stay so much that we are planning to stay again the next time we visit Milford. I would highly recommend to anyone.

Fall Get Away

I have stayed at several short stay rentals in the Milford area and Grandma’s Cottage is by far my favorite. The cottage is quaint with all the essentials. I loved being on the lake with the calls of the Canadian geese. The fall colors were spectacular. It was just what I was looking for.

We loved the beauty of the surroundings, and the peace and quiet that make it a very restful place. We met the hosts and they were very hospitable and kind. The views of the lake provide wonderful opportunities for sketching and painting—and for simply enjoying! And, the cottage itself is beautifully decorated and very welcoming.
