Windy Top Cottage was a gem. Girls' weekend, snow, fireplace, books, tea, soup in the mini crockpot we brought, heated blankets, comfy clothes... Windy Top was the perfect backdrop. Dawn is amazing, and having a knack for decor myself, I appreciated each and every detail she thought of. Hospitality at its best!
Had such an amazing night here curled up next to the fire. A perfect English cottage experience. I can't say enough good things about the heated beds!! Soft pillows. Such a nice time.
All the details that Ken and Dawn put into Windy Top Cottage made it a wonderful and relaxing place to spend a weekend away. Our stay started with an amazing cheese and fruit platter and the French toast breakfast the next morning was even better. The cottage is in a magnificent location surrounded by trees and was so cozy and comfortable, it made it very easy for us to stay in and enjoy our time. Dawn and Ken are on the top of their game when it comes to hosting. We will definitely be back someday! We will give Windy Top Cottage the highest recommendations to all our friends. Thank you!
It was a great place. Fully outfitted with many amenities. We had a few technical issues that forced us to have to leave the cozy cottage. However, the owners did right by us. This to me ultimately leaves a very good feeling making it a 100% positive my friend and i will re-book another time.
Charming cottage. Nice little quiet getaway for us.
We had the best stay in a winter wonderland! We arrived in a storm to a freshly plowed and shoveled entrance, a fire going and plenty of tea and coffee waiting! The hosts thought of everything!! It is simply the most charming, cozy spot. There were plenty of amenities between the robes and slippers, coffee bar, toiletries, linens, etc. Definitely recommend and will be returning!
This wonderful place felt like a quaint, Parisian getaway in the country. If you like a rustic, cozy cottage that's warm and inviting, you will love Windy Top. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The space is well appointed with many nice touches -- peonies were in season so they brought us a bouquet from the garden. The sweet's bar was a pleasant surprise, with ample tea and coffee options. We added on Breakfast in Bed which was very nice, and we also ordered the picnic lunch for two which was delicious! Ken and Dawn are great hosts; very accommodating.
One of the best experiences on my first New England trip. It’s a cute authentic early 20th century cottage and the hosts have done an amazing job at keeping it as authentic as possible. The location is perfect if you are planning to visit places in MA or CT. The hosts are a nice homely couple and were very helpful and knowledgeable about things to do in the areas. Definitely recommended to stay here if you are in the area.
