With so many great vacation rentals in Connecticut, it really takes a special place to attract attention. The idea of staying in an old servant’s cottage is, understandably, not particularly appealing. When you read the headline of this article, you probably thought of a small, uninviting spot completely lacking in both charm and homey vibes. It may surprise you to learn that we’ve found an adorable Vrbo in Connecticut that is oh-so-welcoming and just so happens to have been a servant’s cottage in its past life!

The place is now known as the Windy Top Cottage. It's tucked away in picturesque Granby and looks straight out of the French countryside, or perhaps a children's story book.

The cottage was constructed as servants' quarters back in the 1930s, when a wealthy entrepreneur owned the property and used the estate as a summer home.

Obviously, it's been updated quite a bit since then, but a great deal of historical charm remains.
