Cozy cottage on the Miller farm.

This secluded and tranquil cottage on a 20 acre hobby farm is the perfect getaway. With walking trails from the back door to Abbott's Mill Nature Center on the adjacent property, it is perfect for birders, nature lovers, or just for a nice walk.
We are an easy 15 minute drive from the DE Turf Sports Complex on Rt. 1 north of Milford and 35 minutes from Sports at the Beach near Georgetown.
The cottage is small but feels spacious with a vaulted living room ceiling and open floor plan. There is lots of natural light with large windows throughout and french doors onto the beautiful screened porch. There is a gas grill just out the back door. The porch makes for wonderful indoor/outdoor living; deer can often be spotted in the wooded side yard or in the meadow out back. Wild turkeys show up occasionally as well.
The cottage is shaded and air conditioned for wonderful summer days and evenings and the radiant floor heat makes it cozy and warm in the winter.
Take a walk to the creek at the rear of the property or stroll through the woods to Abbott's Mill Nature Center. Abbott's is a 313-acre Nature Preserve and features trails open to the public, a preserved gristmill, a pond, meadows, an animal collection, and educational programs. They also host Music at the Mill on select summer weekends.
The Atlantic Ocean and Delaware Bay beaches are nearby. Lewes (30 minutes), Rehoboth Beach (30 minutes), and Ocean City, Maryland (45 minutes) are popular beach destinations. Other nearby attractions are Cape Henlopen State Park, Killens Pond State Park, and the Cape May/Lewes Ferry. Delaware Bay beaches are popular for hunting for sea glass and are only 15 to 20 minutes away.
Enjoy tax free shopping at the Tanger Outlets near Rehoboth Beach.
Downtown Milford is a 5 minute drive and features coffee shops, antique stores, barbershops, restaurants, and the Mispillion River walk.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as gas grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Lacrosse family weekend
The cottage was perfect for our lacrosse weekend at DE Turf. Only 15 minutes to the fields. It was adorable and very clean. The hosts were very quick to respond if I had any questions. Feeding the animals was a bonus so don’t forget to pick up some apples and carrots on your way in.

Wonderful Stay
This is a perfect place to stay. Easy driving distance to beaches and amenities, but secluded and quiet. The cottage is lovely and comfortable. The animals are friendly and entertaining. The smallest goat kept escaping from the pasture to graze in the yard. The host were friendly and helpful. All around one of the very best VRBO's we have stayed at.

Peaceful Country Life
The friendly animals and screend in porch were the highlights of our say. The cows literally ran across the field to say Hi to us when we arrived--- a fun welcome. And morning coffee and night-time watching the bats from the porch made me add that feature to my wish-list for retirement living. Will definitely stay here again if needed in the future

This lil cottage is a slice of heaven on earth! The land and scenery is breathtaking! We came to visit our son who is recently stationed at Dover Air Force Base and our party of 5 truly enjoyed our stay here. It was super comfy, super clean and had everything we needed. We will definitely book again when we return!

It was just perfect. Charming, quiet and also had a full kitchen with everything you need to cook if you wanted to. Host was very responsive when I asked a question. The farm animals where very friendly as well. The porch was so nice to sit at night and didn't have to worry about the bugs. I will be retuning.

We had another wonderful stay at the Millers' cottage. The home is spotless, well-stocked, and beautifully decorated. I loved Teresa's sister's pictures. Once again, we fed carrots to Bonnie, the goats, and the cows who were calves last year. The baby goats are so adorable. The hosts are the best! We enjoy so many things in the area and expect to come back next year.

Great farm visit
We’ve stayed here twice with our 7 and 10 year old daughters. We all love feeding the goats, cows and horse — and this year there were 4 baby goats as well. The hosts live on the property and are super nice. The house lays out great for a small family like ours, and the setting is beautiful.
