Information about this cottage rental in Darien

Romantic 'Swan's Way ' is just as charming as it can be! Most rooms overlook the spacious pond with waterfall. It is not uncommon to see baby ducklings lined up in a row trailing their parents, children fishing from their rowboats, or fathers and sons paddling their canoes. In the winter there is ice skating and bobsledding on the pond. My home is light and bright featuring expansive glass, skylights, light wide floor boards, wooden ceiling beams and happy colors! It features 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, living, dining and TV rooms plus a glass sun room. The kitchen is spacious and connects with the solarium overlooking the pond and beautiful flowering gardens. Outside there is a brick pathway which leads to lounge chairs, gas grill and eating area. Relax and enjoy cocktails sitting amid the iris, lilies, azaleas, and daisies!
