A wonderful weekend of R&R
We enjoyed a much needed weekend of R&R at Windy Top. It is wonderfully quiet and so enjoyable to brew some tea, read & sit by the fire. Thoughtful touches throughout the cottage make it the perfect spot for a relaxing, cozy, getaway!

Mmmmmm
This was the best thing I’ve done in a long time. The kuels are very attentive to the needs of their guests and very helpful. It’s a great quiet place to relax and unwind from the stress of life. The proximity to hiking is incredibly close to the cottage. If my travels allow me, I will have to come back here.

Quaint New England Cottage
Situated in a rural area of Connecticut, this English-syle cottage is a gem. Furnishings and wall art were thoughtfully displayed through-out. The gas-fired fireplace added a warm (needed that spring week-end!) glow. Enjoyed thoroughly.

Hosts Thought of Every Detail
This was the perfect one-night getaway for two busy moms. The decor was cozy and inviting, and the fireplace and remote-controlled candles gave the cottage a wonderful ambiance. The beds we comfortable too. Having a refrigerator and some appliances was very handy despite there being no kitchen. We will definitely be back!

Amazing quaint cottage
Windy Top Cottage was the perfect place to stay while attending a conference near Springfield, MA. It was so peaceful and quiet - just what I needed after a long day. Dawn and Ken were so kind and every detail in the cottage is a reflection of their generous nature and loving care they give to the cottage. An absolutely amazing place to stay.

Treasure, in a beautiful area!
We are so fortunate to have found the perfect place to celebrate our anniversary. Windy Top Cottage is a treasure. Every detail made us feel welcome and pampered. Granby provided plenty of fun and excitement, and it was a joy to return to our beautiful, cozy cottage after our busy days exploring. Just loved it!

I wish I could give 25 stars instead of just 5
Ken and Dawn were amazing, accommodating hosts who really went the extra mile for us with their communication and hospitality. The house was perfectly quiet, clean, and extra-cozy with the fire already going for us and the beds warmed via special mattress covers. We were delighted by everything, and we were sorry to leave.

This was just what was needed for a romantic getaway close to home. The cottage is so lovely we didn't even leave for dinner. We had the wine and cheese plate after a late lunch and it took us through the night. The perfect escape from this modern, chaotic world.

A charming paradise on the hill....
This is such a lovely cottage! It was cozy, comfortable, clean, and charming-the 4 C's! Ken and his wife Dawn went out of their way to welcome us, and made sure we were well taken care of. Dawn has done a fabulous job decorating the cottage, so many fun details from robes and slippers to a variety of goodies in pretty glass jars. Thank you, thank you, Ken and Dawn. We look forward to staying with you again sometime!

A Quintessential Cottage
The place was exactly as it was on the advert. A quintessential cottage in the middle of greenery. Attention to details was impeccable. I loved most having a jar of honey in addition to the usual white sugar, Splenda and Equal as sweeteners; box of tissues on all bedside tables; supply of plush 2-ply toilet paper instead of a single ply … these minute details were greatly appreciated! We had a grand time! It was a cozy, quiet and comfortable respite from our daily concrete jungle routine. Many thanks, Dawn & Ken.

Sweet
Upon first sight of the cottage was like stepping into a fairy tale back in time, Hansel and Gretel. The outside was so pretty, surrounded by trees and flowers and a chipmunk was there to greet us. But stepping inside was amazing, tastefully decorated and many amenities at your fingertips. A plate of cookies with real whipped strawberries 🍓 frost.. delicious. Ken and Dawn were friendly and accommodating. Would absolutely recommend. A.M.D

One of the best stays
This stay was one of the best stays we've had for a rental. The location was in a beautiful neighborhood but also close to wonderful restaurants, hiking, and shopping. The cottage was so cute and cozy!! We arrived to some relaxing music, the fireplace on, and a yummy cake (we were celebrating my husband's 50th). There was a lovely coffee station with a couple of different machines and many options for coffee, tea, or hot chocolate. Although there was no kitchen, there was a fridge and a toaster oven and all the things you would need for a shorter stay. The bedding was great quality, and the bathroom was totally stocked with everything you could possibly need or may have forgotten. The hosts were nearby and there for questions but gave you all the privacy you needed. I would highly recommend this property and hosts and hope to come back again!

A little piece of heaven
There really are no words to describe this place. From the moment we opened the door and heard the sound of soft music and smelled the sweet scent of freshly cut flowers, we knew we found our little piece of heaven. This is the most adorable stone cottage you'll ever find and the perfect place to disconnect from the world. Ken and Dawn are such nice people and it's evident that a lot of love has gone into this place. My husband and I only stayed one night which we discovered was not long enough. Make sure when reserving to stay at least 2 nights. To prove our point, we ended up purchasing a 2 night gift certificate for our son and daughter-in-law after our stay! : )

A Perfect Retreat!
BEAUTIFUL, NEAT, and COZY cottage. Everything was thought of. The owners offered warm hospitality. The owners replied promptly to each of my email/text. Beautiful surrounding. Plan to go to Enders Falls! I went to Lost Acres Vineyard. Lovely tasting room and deck with view of the vineyard. The workers there were friendly. I ate at New England Pizza. Again, the workers there were friendly. The food were good. I had baked cheese ravioli. Oh- go to the Garlic Farm! I couldn't believe how fresh and beautiful their vegetables and garlic were! I only wish that I stayed at this cottage longer.

Best VRBO Experience to date!
Windy top cottage was the perfect destination for our girls trip / birthday weekend. We had such an amazing time enjoying the quiet mornings outside, disconnected evenings in the cottage, and the beautiful town of Granby and surrounding areas. The cottage is even cuter than the pictures show (which is already so cute and what drew us in in the first place). There was even a welcome sign with our names on it when we arrived! It is obvious that so much time, thought and love went into creating this beautiful space and the details have not gone unnoticed. From the amazing room service offered, to the most extensive collection of bathroom essentials and local recommendations, Windy top surpassed our expectations and was our favorite stay to date. If you are a fan of high tea you cannot miss Dawn’s beautifully curated “picnic lunch for 2”. It was prepared and ready for us as soon as we arrived with the most gorgeous table setting and she so graciously clears everything away so quickly we barely knew she was there, it was like magic! Thank you so much to Dawn and Ken who made us feel so welcome from the second we arrived to the minute we left. If you’re thinking about booking windy top cottage let this be your push to just do it!

We thought we were back in Great Britain
This was a very nicely appointed and decorated stone cottage reminiscent of ones we had stayed in while touring the British Isles. While there was no running water or bathroom on the first floor there was a full size refrigerator and the hosts had provided two pitchers of water for our coffee and tea. And there were lots of flavors to choose from. There also were apothecary jars of candy. Terry robes and slippers were also provided. The cottage is part of the detached garage next to the house where the owners live. When we drove in Ken came out to greet us and had all our names on a welcoming slate at the door. But we felt very independent in our cottage and did not see him again. The whole property is very lovely. It was the last night of a trip with a lot of driving and we had driven almost 500 miles that day so we didn't have much of a chance to enjoy our cottage or the area. I would like to come back again and explore this more rural, hilly, and wooded area of Connecticut.

Charming and Thoughtful
Upon arrival we were greeted with a fire in the fireplace, a custom welcome sign, and soft music playing. The ambiance was adorable and the decor was to die for, and the cottage was spotless! The sleeping accommodations were super comfortable. The reasons I didn’t give a 5 star rating: I would have liked a less sheer curtain in the bathroom. I realize we are in the middle of the woods, but for those of us visiting from suburbia or the city, we can be a little shy about using the restroom and showering in front of sheer window coverings. Maybe it’s a “me problem”. The shower was also very dark once the shower curtain was closed. My 5’11’ husband hit his head on the living room chandelier several times when standing up from the couch, and the steep stairs may not be suitable for elderly guests. Other than that, there was so much attention to detail. It felt very welcoming and was beyond adorable! The guide to the city was very helpful. This is definitely the kind of hospitality any VRBO should exhibit!

Peaceful Retreat
We thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay at Windy Top Cottage. The owners were responsive and kind and answered any questions we had. The cottage was like something out of a storybook. It was quaint, peaceful, and welcoming. The beds were very comfy. We loved the old board games, books, and cozy fireplace. The decor had so many special touches. You can tell Ken and Dawn take pride in their home and enjoy sharing it with others. We would definitely considering visiting again!
