We could not be more pleased to have stayed at this location for our multigenerational family vacation. It was beautiful, quaint and cozy and had everything we needed. The location was perfect!

Wonderful house in a beautiful setting! They really did think of everything, including extra blankets in case it got chilly. We were in town for a girls weekend and had everything we needed. The kitchen was well stocked with plates and pots pans for easy breakfast prep. We enjoyed discovering Ligonier and stopped at the Compass Inn Museum for an excellent tour. Would definitely start again.

This was our second stay at the Fox Haven Cottage. We love it so much that it has become an annual family weekend, and we have already booked for 2026. The cottage is in the perfect location, nestled among the trees offering privacy and tranquility. The interior offers plenty of space for relaxing, cooking, dining and sleeping, but we enjoy most of our time outdoors sitting around the firepit listening to the babbling stream that passes through the property. It lives up to its name and is truly a haven where you can disconnect from the city and reconnect with nature.
