Russell Cottages

This is our pick for the independent traveler who doesn't need a concierge, but enjoys having apartment like digs. You have a choice of one- to four-bedroom, two-level cottages; all are set in park-like gardens with a Jacuzzi and heated pool. The cottages are modeled after historic Russell buildings and are cute as buttons, but still modern, spacious and comfortable inside.
