    Secluded from the Nehemiah Brainerd House behind a stand of tall pines, the Laurel Cottage has been restored and expanded to include a full kitchen, bathroom with double pedestal bathtub and a large subway tiled shower. A cozy double brass bed in the Great Room and a luxurious pull out queen size bed on the all season porch accommodates four comfortably and two beautifully. And the views from the porch windows across the Connecticut River are spectacular in any season.
