There's plenty to be said for living in a bustling town or city, but sometimes you just want to get away from the buzz and noise of it all. Sometimes you just want to go someplace quiet, with a slower, simpler pace, so you can get a new perspective on life and reconnect with yourself. If you're looking for that kind of getaway, let us introduce you to quaint little Hobbs and Rose Cottage, a small-town Airbnb in Delaware just waiting for your arrival.
Located in the small town of Frankford, Delaware (home to only 801 people according to the last census), Hobbs and Rose Cottage was built in 1941, originally to house poultry feed. Today it's been transformed into a quaint 1200-square-foot cottage with a dreamy, cozy atmosphere.
Upstairs you'll find the master loft bedroom, with a king-sized bed and leather chaise lounge. Downstairs is the second bedroom, with a double bed and a floor-to-ceiling mirror. Each bedroom has luxury linens and white noise machines - though you're welcome to forego the latter and enjoy the birdsong.
The bathroom is gorgeous, with a carved marble bathtub and handmade bath salts for your enjoyment. Or, if you're in a hurry, just use the "gentle rain" shower head for a quick and refreshing shower.
The garden is beautiful, with two landscaped ponds, a wood-burning fire pit, and stepping-stone paths winding through the trees. Sit out on the back patio and enjoy your morning coffee - or a hearty meal - in the fresh air.
And did we mention there's a hammock? You can doze the day away under the trees, or lay down and gaze up at the stars at night in this peaceful, cozy setting.
Delaware might not be the biggest state, but what it lacks in size, it more than makes up for in scenic splendor. And while many relegate the whole cabin in the woods experience to places like Maine or Vermont, the First State has lots of glorious cabin getaways within its 1.268 million acres! The following are some of the best cabins in Delaware, and I hope you'll plan a getaway in our lovely state soon!
