Summary: I have used many air B&Bs and this one is by far my all-time favorite. The cottage was adorable and fully stocked with everything you could have asked for. The property was beautiful and so peaceful. This made a wonderful "home away from home" during my visit with my daughter and best friend. I will defiantly rent this home again!

Summary: Amazing cottage and grounds! We thoroughly enjoyed Sherri’s & John’s Middle Cottage at Glebefield! The unique, historical atmosphere f the property and buildings have been well cared-for, comfortable, and lent themselves to a restful stay. Excellent communication from Sherri. We look forward to visiting again sometime.
Denise W. Aug 2, 2025 05:53:44 PM
Summary: Tthe history of the property itself was amazing. Not to mention the surrounding area. The house was near to the community but also far enough out to be very quiet and peaceful. We loved the open floor plan of the main level but if you have issues with mobility, accessing the stairs to the second floor may be an issue.
Douglas D. Jul 23, 2025 06:43:26 AM
Summary: This cottage was quaint, peaceful, and beautifully appointed. Everything you need for a quiet getaway. We absolutely loved it, and Sherri and John are the best hosts ever – extremely helpful and responsive. We will definitely look to come back!
