About Babbling Brook cottage: The cascading stream and waterfall view make this cottage the perfect retreat. The cottage overlooks a beautiful stream cascading down the mountain. The water cascades down the waterfall then down the brook over moss covered rocks, creating wonderful sounds of rushing water as it flows behind the cottage. A gas log stove will keep you warm on a brisk fall evening or winter day. Cable TV and a Video Library will make your stay enjoyable.
Don't let the lower rates fool you. We have very NICE accommodations, refreshingly cleanly kept and most of our guests turn into repeat guests! Many have been coming for many years/several times a year and will for generations to come!
The master bedroom has a glass door that opens onto the covered porch perched above the brook. You can see the waterfall from this covered porch/open deck combo and it's perfect for watching the squirrels play or birds sing.
*The living room has a warm cozy feel that makes you feel that you are at your own personal home away from home. Babbling Brook cottage is filled with handcrafted furnishings that will make your stay enchanting.
2 Comfy bedrooms - 2 full baths - full kitchen & laundry area - sleeps 4. The Living room has an enchanting gas fire that will warm you on the cool nights.
This cottage has three covered porches/decks where you can entertain, cook out on the grill, or just sit back and enjoy the day.
YOU JUST WON'T BE ABLE TO FIND A BETTER LOCATION TO STAY - FOR WATERFALLS, SIGHT-SEEING, HIKING, ETC! We are in the scenic valley just east of town. No crowds! Drive past the pastures that flank the river into a wonderful area of peace and contentment.

This was a beautiful cabin in a gorgeous setting. The host was very friendly and accommodating, the cabin was cozy and so clean and inviting. We had a wonderful stay and hope to return again!
Lovely small cabin nestled on the side of the mountain with a small stream just out back. The hot tub was wonderful and the area was very peaceful and quiet. The bear carvings were really cool and it’s just a short trip to town when you need something. The showers are kinda small and the water pressure could be better. Overall a great weekend getaway spot. We will go again. LOVED IT
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Babbling Brook. The house was perfect, the location was perfect, and our weekend was perfect. We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived to the nice blanket of snow on the ground. We would definitely stay here again.
We enjoyed our stay at the babbling brook cottage. The bed was very comfy. The bathrooms & kitchen were great.With the water fall outside the master bedroom was so relaxing to listen too. Would highly recommend.
Wonderful location. Just far enough out from town, but still close enough to all of the parks and hiking. The cabin was incredible, and I will certainly plan on booking it again in the future.
The whole experience was lovely. Private and quiet, close to hiking, fishing, arts, good food. Beautiful views and a babbling Brook lulled us to sleep. We want to come. Ack in every season! Thank you, David and Darla
This is an amazing host. It was a remarkable stay! The cabin was clean and beautiful! It is on a stream and the sound of it running is so refreshing. Loved everything about it.
Our first visit to the Babbling Brook Cabin was wonderful, and we hope to come back! The owners were very helpful and kind! The cabin itself was very clean and nicely furnished. We had everything we needed and more. Loved, loved the convenient location. Can't wait to go back in a little warmer weather and enjoy the amazing porches and outside spaces. Wonderful place!
My husband and I stayed last fall, came back this spring with our 2 college guys for Spring Break. Enjoyed being able to have our furry friends with us and the convenience of the fenced yard. Loved the hot tub after long days of mountain hiking and exploring. Great location to so many things, yet peaceful and lulled by the brook behind the house.Thanks for a great get-away for the family!
