Cottage vacation rentals in Preston

Frederick and Kelly have a great little rustic cabin right on the lake. Peaceful, quiet (a tiny bit of road noise occasionally, but overall very quiet). Frederick is super helpful and friendly. Cabin was built around 75 years ago (original builder's son left a note in the log book!), so don't expect anything ultramodern.. just a nice unassuming rustic family cabin.

Had a great stay in RI

The fresh air off the lake, the trees blowing in the wind, birds singing their songs. The place was surrounded by beauty. Although the weather wasn't warm enough to swim, we read books on the back deck and played cards on the porch. The beds were comfy, the shower was warm, and we hope to come back when we can vacation instead of attend a work conference. Highly recommend. Chandra was right there if we had any questions. A+++

We only had one night at the cottage but it was the perfect spot between NYC and Portland, Maine for a stop after enjoying Newport ! The beach was quiet and private. Very relaxing cottage ! Definitely recommend.

The cottage is on a beautiful lake and is very relaxing . The morning sunset on our second day was amazing. Perfect couples retreat or in our case girls weekend. Our host, Donna, was very responsive and provided extra goodies. The house was clean and comfortable. We visited Gillette’s Castle and downtown Chester had lunch at Market 37 . Unfortunately, we had rain and could not enjoy deck right on the water.

Such a beautiful place to stay! Alexander’s Lake is gorgeous and this lovely cottage sits right on the water allowing you to take the kayaks out to explore the lake. I even got lucky while fishing from the dock and the kayak! Great views in the morning and evening. Very quiet neighborhood. Will definitely be looking to stay again!

Nice little spot with boats on the pond. Went there for my son’s Wesleyan graduation and could take family out on the kayaks.

We enjoyed our time at Vintage Bolton Lake Cottage. The place is cute, peaceful and quiet. Not having a TV was perfection! Kayaking was fun. Nice bass too! Top notch experience. Jason checked in to make sure we didn’t need anything or have any concerns mid stay, which I appreciate. Phenomenal host. Would love to go back!

Our stay at this lakeside retreat was perfect! The house was exactly as described, with stunning views that exceeded expectations. Mornings with coffee and evenings with cocktails on the back porch became our favorite ritual. The picturesque fire pit and thoughtful touch of Hershey bars for s’mores were delightful, though we didn’t get to use them this time. Our host was incredibly responsive, quickly resolving a hot tub issue, and their winery recommendations were spot-on! Quick tip: If arriving after dark, keep exterior lights off initially to avoid lakeside gnats. We noticed a few stink bugs on day one (nature’s welcome!), but they completely disappeared afterward. Neither affected our enjoyment of this beautiful property at all. Thank you for an unforgettable stay!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Perfect spot for a quiet weekend getaway! We were able to go to Yale art museums for the day and then came back to check out the beaches. Definitely recommend the trip to Dockside Seafood and Grill in Branford for lobster pasta! The hot tub was also the best way to end the day with a peaceful beautiful view!! Would definitely go back again!

We always love going to this cottage. It’s our favorite. It’s actually one of our favorite places. To go a few times a year winter summer. We just spent memorial weekend there. A little doggies loved it. Home away from home so cozy. Bobby the host is wonderful. My daughter boyfriend came up and they absolutely loved it and my son came from Texas to spend one night. It was his first time there he loved it. We already planning on going back. Fantastic getaway. If you need to distress and want calmness. This is the place to come to. And the town of Mystic has great restaurants Like I said it’s our favorite place to come to and I’ve been to quite a few…. Just got home today and I’m seeing if I can book some sometime in October to go back we love it.

We had a wonderful stay at Leann’s! The home was absolutely lovely—clean, cozy, and beautifully decorated. The amenities were just what I needed for a relaxing getaway. Leann was a great host, and we truly can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend!

Great communication with host, beach within walking distance was so nice, overall good spot within 30 mins of mystic aquarium and Foxwoods casino

We loved our stay here. It was the perfect place for two of us and our dog. The home was just as described, welcoming, cosy and well equipped, and we appreciated all the local recommendations. We enjoyed local walks, the lake, and the great dog park, as well as easy access to Middletown to visit our son. Elisabeth and Daniel were fantastic hosts!

Jeanette was 10 out of 10. We loved our time there and hated to leave. Loved the cows!

Julie's cottage is so nice! The drive to and from is beautiful and peaceful with woodland scenes everywhere. The cottage is fully stocked in the kitchen, bath, and laundry. There are plenty of extra blankets and pillows. It's all here! Julie is also very responsive and helpful when needed. This is the best in the area! Once you stay here, other AIRBNB locations seem to be lacking.

We loved our stay and would definitely return. Getting in was easy and communication with the hosts was smooth. The cottage is on a main road next door to a spa and shares a parking lot, but it was quiet and felt private. The location is very convenient to Westerly and Watch Hill. It was easy to get around and everything you might need is near by (restaurants, groceries, CVS, Starbucks and Dunkin). The place is very nicely decorated, spotlessly clean and we felt very comfortable. My husband wished there was a couch, but the tv turns towards the bed or the two comfy papasan chairs. There is a large gap between the wall and the mattress, so we used the two poufs and some pillows as a backrest, and that worked great. We planned to go to the beach, but it rained. I booked a facial at the spa (discount provided for cottage guests), and it was amazing. Highly recommended!!!

Cute and cozy home with lovely outdoor sitting area. Woke up to the sounds of the breeze and chirping birds! You can see the water from out the kitchen windows!

Is a great place. Clean, comfortable. It is a basement apartment so the ceilings and doorways are lower than a normal house. I am 6 ft 5 in tall and I did not hit my head on the ceiling but the doorways were low where my hair would brush up. The bathroom sink and mirror were low also but all things were workable. I am NOT faulting her place at all. I am just tall. I will stay here again on my next trip to Connecticut. Elizabeth is nice and friendly. Once in a while you would hear the cat chasing the dog upstairs. but I just laughed at it. No noise was ever constant or non-stop. Slept very well. The early evening you would hear a train whistle way in the background almost like clockwork. Not disturbing, made it peaceful like you were in a small town country place. The river was nice. Hearing the river and wildlife was nice after a 10 hour workday. Highly recommend this for a stay. Only thing- wish the security light went on at 3am when I left. Hard to see going up the outside stairs.

Jeanne's place was perfect for my trip to Guilford. Excellent location, close to the Green and to the water, quiet, peaceful. The house had everything I needed and more, Jeanne was super responsive and kind, and the bed was comfortable.

This cottage is wonderful. It is perfectly situated, right in town, with an easy walk to the beach, but it is also surrounded by woods and the river, making it feel peaceful and serene. The cottage is adorable, comfortable, and bigger than it looks. We had everything we needed. Robert was friendly, helpful, and very accommodating. We had a great stay here!
