Cozy cottage on the Miller farm.
About this house rental
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 Miller cottage was the perfect place for my son and I to stay during his visit. We really enjoyed interacting with the animals and walking the trails. The house is extremely cozy and anything you could need is provided. The location is great for taking day trips to the beaches. The town of Milford and surrounding area have plenty to offer too. I highly recommend a stay here!

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

My sons and I enjoyed the peace and quiet of the cottage. Upon our arrival, Duane came to welcome us and let us know we were welcome to walk the paths and pet the animals. My sons had a great time hanging out with the pony, goats and cows. The cottage was clean and cozy. When we left, Duane met us and talked with us for a bit. Our stay was amazing!

This cottage is a gem! From the moment we parked the car and walked in the door, my friend and i loved this place. It felt like walkng into a peaceful sanctuary. The flowers surrounding the screened in porch and in front of the cottage were so pretty!
We enjoyed visiting the chickens, goats, calves and Bonnie the pony.
It was a relaxing retreat for us.
The beaches were an easy 20 to 45 minutes drive.

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.

I needed a property for a few days near Milford for 5 of us. This was ideal, close to the town of Milford yet set in a rural environment close to a nature reserve full of wildlife.
The cottage is perfect for a few days away with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Would recommend!
5.0
The cottage is cute and well maintained. The goats and Bonnie the horse are super friendly.
We took the ferry over from Cape May and got in late. We made our way to Dogfish Head and Rehobeth, and took advantage of a delayed check out time to walk the trail down to Abbots pond. AWESOME place and time. We’re making excuses to come back.
5.0
We found the house clean, well supplied and in a beautiful setting. We enjoyed going out every morning and feeding the goats and Bonnie, the horse. It was such a nice, relaxing place to return to each each afternoon. If we were ever to return to this area , we would definitely try to stay here.

A cute little cottage. Very clean. We enjoyed hiking and birdwatching on the trails very much. The neighborhood is quiet. It was a great place to spend our honeymoon.

My son had a lacrosse tournament at the Delaware turf complex. This cute little cottage was only a 15 minute drive and far better than any hotel would have been.
It is clean, well decorated, and very close to a pasture, where we saw goats, and a donkey grazing together. There are also chickens nearby. The cottage is well off of a quiet country road and we didn’t hear any noise at all.
Less than 10 minutes from gas stations and restaurants. Check in and check out were easy. Wi-Fi works great.
Overall a lovely cottage that is really nice inside. I highly recommend this home and would definitely stay here again.

So glad we spent the weekend at the beautiful cottage - loved the goats, pony and walking through the pasture to the nature center pond. You feel right at home as soon as you step in the door. It felt bright and cozy - and wow, heated floors! My high schooler and college kid kept complementing the decision to meet in such a special place. We chopped up our little carrots and had the greatest time feeding them. The extra friendly little one became her favorite. Thank you for a wonderful weekend!

I have stayed at many properties on numerous sites and this is by far the BEST! The home is immaculate. The peacefulness of the farm is a serene paradise. Mr. Miller is a kind, hospitable and gracious host. The home is close to restaurants , stores, gym, etc. The goats are hilariously playful. I highly recommend this place and will return for more enjoyable, peaceful stays in the future.

If you are thinking about staying here just go ahead and book it. Perfect relaxing getaway on a quaint little farm. The animals are friendly and come right up the fence behind the cottage! The owners are so nice and we’ve really enjoyed both of our stays!

The cottage was spotless, nicely decorated, well stocked, and quiet. The owner was friendly but also honored our request for social distancing. It rained during most of our stay, but we did visit with the animals one afternoon and fed them carrots. We hated to leave but hope to return for another visit in the future.

The property was reasonably priced- excellent location to the DE sports complex and nice for a family of four. Will stay here again if in the area for lax tournaments.

Beautiful cottage surrounded by farm animals and nature trails. Quiet tranquil area great for relaxing on the screened porch watching the animals. The house had everything you need , just like home. Would definitely rent again !! { Some door mats would be helpful at the porch doors to keep out leaves and grass.} We had a wonderful week !!!

My best friend and I stayed at The Millers’ Cottage when we were in town for a Jeep event. It was perfect! We were so happy with our stay. The house is located on a farm with many friendly animals, including a few cats. We fed the goats and cows snacks consisting of carrots and apples; we were even able to pet a few of them. It’s also a great place for anyone looking to stay close to the beaches (the house is only 25 mins from Rehoboth, 45 mins from OC, etc) without staying downtown.
The cottage was immaculate; it was sparkling clean, spacious and extremely well stocked. The beds were so comfy!! We also loved the screened in porch which was great for us to sit and catch up while enjoying the sounds of nature in the evenings. It is only a few minutes from the market and there are some nice diners close if you’re looking for a good meal (I highly recommend Westside Restaurant for breakfast and the Palace for pizza). We did not do any of the walking or hiking trails but there are several on the property.
Duane and his wife were very friendly and welcoming! I just can’t say enough great things about this cottage and would recommend it to anyone staying in the DE area.
Thanks again Duane and family! We will be back next year for the Back the Blue event!
