About this property
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.

The Cottage is the very best place we have ever stayed. The entire ambiance is perfect for a peaceful and relaxing get away! Big shout out for the owners! Words cannot describe this beautiful place!
We absolutely loved our stay at the cozy cottage! The Miller’s exceeded all expectations with an immaculately clean home, beautiful property and awesome animals my 3 year old (and my wife and I lol) loved feeding and petting. Having small children, we were so happy that it was only 1 floor having great space for all of our needs including the screen room to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning. We will most definitely be staying here again; My family and I can’t thank Duane and his family enough for such a lovely experience!
My family and I enjoyed our stay. The house was clean, very spacious and had all the amenities we needed. My kids especially enjoyed visiting the friendly pets and animals.
We have stayed here several times and will definitely stay here again. Home is clean and very welcoming. It has everything you need for day to day activities, whether you are cookimg and staying in or goimg out. Lots to do around the area, including nature hikes and many beaches within driving distance. My grandsons love all of the animals on the property. Guests are always friendly and accessible if you need them.
This was our third stay at Miller Farm. Awesome place to stay. Very peaceful, clean and you have everything you need. Duane and Teresa are wonderful hosts, very accommodating and helpful. They are a an available if you have questions. Looking forward to our return next year !
This little farm is awesome!!! The animals are very friendly and the view is amazing, it's a wonderful place to stay, not only are you surrounded by nature but the cottage is very clean and the shower is amazing!! Perfect location for the beaches, wildlife preserves, food and fun!!
We were absolutely delighted for the location being so close to our local family and friends.
The cottage was the cleanest stay we have ever experienced!! We were very pleased with everything about our stay. We will hope to stay again in the future.
We really enjoy staying here when attending a tournament at the DE Turf Complex. The setting is lovely and peaceful, a nice retreat from the turf fields at the end of the day.
Great location! Close to everything we needed. Such a peaceful and beautiful property! We enjoyed relaxing on the screen porch and listening to the birds. The trails to the nature center we great!
The cottage was perfect for a small family getaway. The screened porch was lovey to sit at for breakfast or to sit out and read after a day at the beach. It’s a short drive to Lewes beach, which was beautiful and relaxing. If you’re looking for a quite place to stay, this cottage is perfect
The cottage was just like pictured, very clean and welcoming. Teresa and Duane were very friendly and when we saw them they always asked if we needed anything. Definitely recommend n will be booking again.
This was one of the very best vacation rentals I’ve ever had the pleasure of staying at in my life. The property was beautiful inside and out and we loved everything about it. The farm animals were a special bonus. We’d recommend this home to anyone!
Very comfortable stay. The walk to Abbot's mill was beautiful with interesting history at the end. The gift card to the coffee shop in town was an unexpected treat as the shop was well worth a visit. Thanks
We had a wonderful stay. Beautiful property and owners were very kind and helpful. We were able to bring our grandsons over to feed the horses, goats , and cows. The house was clean and had everything we needed. I would definitely stay here again.
Perfect place to relax with nature all around and quick access to trails, parks, small towns and beaches. This was our second stay here, and my wife, small child, and I once again felt welcome and well-accommodated. My daughter especially loved feeding the friendly farm animals. Looking forward to staying here again.
