I love history and this cottage and the town of Bloomfield is full of it! We were able to walk a couple blocks into town where we saw the historic courthouse, cute shops and there was even a little farmers market going on. The fridge was full of water, yogurt and homemade granola. If we are back in the area we will definitely be looking to stay here again! ##### Becky J. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle Nov 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication Lovely home for a two-night stay. The place was cute and comfortable. The only downside is that the bathroom is downstairs, so when these old people needed it in the middle of the night, it was a sketchy journey down the stairs. If we were younger and healthier it would not have been a problem. ##### Michelle Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Veronica K. Jun 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Just What I Needed I had a Highland Games competition down in Greentop and ended up staying here alone - it was perfect andi would have been even more fun as a girls weekend! Place was clean, granola was DELICIOUS, neighborhood was quiet, bed was comfy. Unwound with a little Sinatra and Joplin on the turntable. The place is exactly as described. I would 100% stay again. As others have mentioned the bathroom is ground level so if you have to pee 2-3/night like this old lady does, if you can take the little bedroom with the single bed that'll make it easier! I really appreciated the water, yogurt, granola even coffee and creamer (although I'd brought my own) that's really going over and above. Thanks for the peaceful oasis in the middle of a long weekend with lots of hours on the road! ##### Veronica K. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erin P. Apr 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Charming historic property Reminded me of the main sitting room of the Hill House in Helensburgh, Scotland looking out at the gardens. It felt very welcoming, and the host left a lovely bouquet of fresh flowers. The property was very clean, well maintained and comfortable. The yogurt and granola provided was a welcome touch. I even enjoyed playing the LPs. ##### Erin P.
