Aug 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We had the loveliest weekend at Mill Pond Cottage! Beautiful views, a gracious and charming home, spotlessly clean. It was close to everything we wanted to do and was so welcoming to return to at the end of the day. Wish we could have stayed longer! ##### Anne D. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrea W. Aug 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We had a great stay here. The view of the pond was a great way to wake up. The house was very clean - we had several people with dust allergies who had no issues. It is important to be aware that the room with 2 twin beds does not have AC if you are there on a hot week. ##### Andrea W. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gabriela d.

Our host were very responsive to any questions we had. The house is filled with lovely oil paintings and antiques. We would come back! ##### Gabriela d. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Brittany N. Jul 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Clean, great location and comfortable for our family Mill Pond Cottage was overall a great stay! The house was clean and comfortable. We had difficulty checking in initially as we weren’t sent the code at time of check in. However, we were able to get in touch with the property manager within a few minutes. Also, in the bedroom with two twin beds there is no AC. The 2 other bedrooms do have the AC units and it did get quite chilly when they were on! The beds were comfortable and there was good space to set up a pack and play for our son. Be careful during morning and evening hours with the bugs.. there are plenty of mosquitos around! ##### Brittany N.
