The cottage was a perfect place in multiple ways.
Everything one could need for kitchen use was there.
We were gifted with fresh eggs, cookies!
The cottage is beautifully decorated. Bathroom sink was high and I just might use that idea for a new bathroom sink.

As a born and raised Harvard family with our wedding planned to take place in Harvard in May, we were on the hunt to find a place to get ready the morning of our wedding for the bridesmaids. We are so glad we found and used Stone Mill Cottage. We cannot be more thankful! We were blown away by the care we were given by the owners!
We booked Stone Mill Cottage as a place to get ready on the day of our upcoming wedding. Ahead of booking we reached out to the owners to ensure that having a bridal party there would be ok. They responded right away and were more than accommodating to allow us to book for pre-wedding bridal party getting make up and hair. As our day approached, the owners reached out inferring about how many of us there would be as they wanted to do something special. We checked in Friday afternoon to set up for Saturday. We were blown away as to how gorgeous the cottage was and the grounds it was on. The cottage was spacious and modern and the perfect back drop for 'getting ready' wedding photos! The beautifulness of the cottage and outside the cottage were only the beginning. Shortly after checking in we met the owners and they were wonderful and so was Rudy (the dog)! They had a surprise for our bridal party of wedding slippers there for our bridal party and Saturday morning when all the girls arrived the owners brought over a beautiful food board!
Not only was the cottage amazing on the inside for pictures and being a space for all of us to get dressed and get our make-up down, outside was even more beautiful! Our wedding day was middle of May and the wedding cooperated wonderfully giving us a rainless, 80 degree day which accentuated the flowers, patios, grass and gardens outside of the cottage. It provided a wonderful back drop for our first look photos and some pre-wedding photos with our bridal party!
The owners were oh so welcoming allow us to traipse through the grass for perfect pictures!
We could not be more thankful! Thank you so much!!
The cottage was wonderful. It had everything we could think of and was done so nicely.

Nicest stay ever. Home was clean, owners were so friendly and gracious. I was greeted by fresh cookies, eggs from their chickens, and veggies from their garden. There was attention to detail in every corner of the home. The area felt super safe and is in a wonderful neighborhood. I will be back!
