Our stay at the Captain's Cottage was absolutely magical and the perfect experience for a holiday trip. The cottage itself was incredibly festive and cozy, and we were delighted by how beautifully decorated for the holiday season it was upon our arrival. It truly felt like a home away from home.The surrounding town of Cold Spring Harbor was just as lovely, living up to our expectations of a picture-perfect setting, much like a Christmas card. We enjoyed walking through the quaint shops and along the charming harbor.The hosts made the entire experience wonderful. They were fantastic—responsive, thoughtful, and accommodating, putting a lot of effort into ensuring we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We can't wait to return and highly recommend this absolute gem of a place to anyone visiting the area!
