The property is so peaceful and spacious, along beautiful back country roads. The house is inviting and cozy and the fireplace, wood delivery, and hospitality of the team made this one of our favorite Airbnb stays yet! Great for couples or larger groups.
We’ll definitely be back!

A nice ‘peace’ of sanity... if ever your spirit is in pieces – restore it here.

Cornwall House is perfect for a large group of friends looking to spend a weekend away in the outdoors. We kept remarking about how clean everything was and the fireplace was a delight. I also appreciated how well Patricia communicated with me prior to our stay. Checking in and out was easy too. We hope to be back again!!

This is the perfect getaway! It was in the middle of a serene neighborhood and the house was very well maintained. There was 8 of us, and we all kept saying how amazing the place was and how we would like to come back next year. If you are looking for an escape from the big city, you can’t do much better than this.
