Room to actually settle in

Walnut Cottage sits just outside downtown Barrington — close enough to walk in for dinner, far enough to feel like your own place. Three bedrooms and two full baths give everyone their own space, and the family room's hide-a-bed adds sleeping room for a sixth guest when you need it.

It's built for longer, easier stays: a full kitchen instead of a mini-fridge, a place to spread out after a long drive or a full day of meetings, and enough quiet to actually get some rest.

Who stays here

Most guests aren't sightseeing — they're here for a reason. The cottage is set up around that.

Visiting family

Room for the whole group without crowding into a spare bedroom — especially useful around the holidays.

Work & conferences

A real workspace and kitchen for multi-day trips, for less than a week of hotel rooms.

Relocating or between homes

A comfortable base for house-hunting, closings, or the first weeks of a move to the area.
