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.

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.

Charming and quiet cottage close to attractions
This is a quiet location only about 2 miles from the city of Milford. The lake is small but pretty and it was fun to paddle the kayaks and watch the sunset/sunrise. The beds were very comfortable and there were air conditioners in 2 windows and ceiling fans in most rooms so the environment was well controlled. We especially enjoyed the k-cups provided for our morning coffee. The grill was another great bonus and Helen was quick to reply when we couldn't find matches to light it (they are under the sink). Very happy with the 6 nights we spent at the cottage.

Exactly as advertised!
Grandma’s cottage was everything as expected. Perfect for peace and quiet when we were not on the lax fields. Cottage was well equipped for all our needs and things we forgot to pack. Enjoyed morning coffee watching Mother Nature …turtles, frogs, hummingbirds to name a few. Having the washing machine for dirty uniforms was super convenient. Being a host myself I have high expectations on cleanliness and the cottage was immaculate! I highly recommend and will stay again for our next DE Turf trip. Thank you Helen!
