Cozy Cottage in Historic Lewes Delaware

This small cottage is perfect for two adults, a great romantic getaway. The Cottage is not good for tall people - you need to watch your head on the stairs and on the top of the door between the kitchen and the main room. Upstairs is one queen bed, downstairs is the main room, small kitchen, and bathroom. The Cottage is surrounded by beautiful gardens and is very charming with its own outdoor eating terrace. The owner's house is also on the property. The cottage is not suitable for children or animals, it is compact and has a small refrigerator. It is an easy walk, 6 blocks, into the historic town of Lewes, and there are plenty of great and varied restaurants nearby. The beach is a five minute car ride or an 18 minute walk. TV and Wi-Fi are provided.
The Cottage is on King's Highway so there is some noise from the road - a white noise sleep machine is provided.

Charming in-town cottage
Sweet, comfortable cottage in a lovely garden setting, a short walk from downtown Lewes. I really enjoyed having my morning coffee on the patio amidst the wonderful flowers, plants and trees. Lovely early summer stay!

Beautiful garden, relaxing home
Many fountains, flowers and birds. The cabin was spotlessly clean, deliciously comfortable, and well-equipped. The best of Lewes is in walking distance. The host answers any questions you may have within 15-20 minutes or so. A lovely and convenient vacation spot.

Cute cottage in a great location
This property is in the historic district and close to restaurants and the parks. Well maintained property with a nice patio in the back. Hosts were very attentive. Lots of local information was in a notebook. It was a great help. This house could be a challenge for some older couple particularly if they are tall. The stairwell to the bedroom has a sloped ceiling. Unless you are short you will have to duck your head. Overall it is a nice little cottage. Our hosts were wonderful and we enjoyed our stay.

Delightful spring escape
I had a lovely stay in this charming, comfortable historic cottage set amidst a stunning garden with fountains. I had everything I needed and felt so welcomed and at home. Seeing Lewes in spring time is a special treat -- cool nights and mornings, and bright sunny days.

Charming cottage in a lovely garden
The cottage is charming and full of light, and is outfitted with everything I needed to make my stay comfortable. The garden with its patio and fountains is a special treat. It is wonderful to be within a short walk of downtown Lewes and yet still be in a quiet location, and just off the fantastic bike/walking paths. I have stayed in this cottage a few times and am already looking forward to my next opportunity!

The cottage is adorable, charming, beautifully decorated, and has everything you need for a truly enjoyable stay. The owners’ garden is paradise! Close to everything - walking and biking distance to everything that matters in lovely Lewes. The owners were delightful and friendly and more than respectful of my privacy.

Couple’s Retreat
This is such a beautiful and quaint cottage! Perfect for a couple or solo traveler. The photos don’t do it justice. There’s a reason why it has a 5-star rating and is fully booked for the entire summer season. It is very comfortable and well maintained. We had a great time staying here. The cottage is super clean and well appointed. We enjoyed using the outdoor patio space for meals. It was also nice to have two separate toilets. :) The kitchen refrigerator is small, so there’s limited food storage if you plan to cook a lot. But, with so many great restaurants and a local market with pre-made food nearby, there’s really no need to do much cooking. The Keurig was also well stocked for coffee lovers. As others have shared, the cottage is on a busy street and if you leave the windows open you can be awakened by trucks that start driving the road early in the morning. But with them closed there is little noise. The bed was also a bit stiff for my liking, but the pillows and duvet comforter were super comfy and soft. I hope we have the chance to return next summer!

Better than advertised
Great location, away from the crowds of downtown but still in walking distance to everything. The garden surrounding the property is stunning and reinforces the coziness of the Cottage itself. Very clean, all the conveniences you would need. Probably the best vacation property we have stayed at, especially at this price point.

We stayed at this beautiful cottage celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary and wow, what a gem. A magical and beautiful short walk to town. Easy street parking with a a side gate entrance. Quiet and super relaxing, the gardens on the property are breathtaking with a quaint sitting area. Holly had an amazing bottle of Pino Noir waiting for us as we arrived. Super clean and the bed was heavenly. Every detail mastered! An upstairs bathroom was a cute added surprise! We can not wait to go back! Thank you so much Holly!

Birthday weekend getaway
Found cute, clean, cozy cottage as advertised. We were happy the road noise was minimal after 9pm as the cottage was surprisingly close to the road. Enjoyed off season offerings with really good restaurants and some good shopping deals for Presidents’ Day weekend. Would recommend and revisit.

We enjoyed our stay at the cottage. Everything was as expected; clean, comfortable and well appointed. The host was very responsive and invited us to arrive early and stay late. The location is perfect for walking to beach and town. Close to bike trail. Easy 8 mile bike ride to boardwalk in Rehoboth.

Wonderful Accommodations and Wonderful Town
My husband and I loved the experience of having an entire cottage to ourselves for the week. Beautiful setting in a garden filled property. Our host, Holly, had the house stocked with everything a guest might need. Everything is clean and comfortable. We ate some meals at the cottage and went to the local restaurants for other meals. It is an easy walk to the historic sites, shops, and the walking/biking trail. We utilized all of these. The cottage is fairly close to the beach- 5 min drive. Brought our own chairs but were able to rent an umbrella at the beach. The town is beautiful- especially the parks!
