Just what we needed
It’s a beautiful house on a beautiful piece of land. We had a wonderful stay. I have never rented from a more attentive and caring home owner. If you’re looking for a quite space to enjoy family time this is the place for you.

Amazing stay
My family and I decided to book this wonderful place for my husbands 40th family. As soon as we pulled up it took my breath away. The scenery alone was spectacular. There was so much greenery everywhere we looked. Everything was stocked well and the host was excellent with questions when we asked. I definitely recommend this place and will be returning in the future.

A key to deck door would have made it easier for 2 older women and an older dog.

A great place
We spent two weeks here with our family and the house was perfect for our group. Big enough to spread out with great spaces to gather together. The house was very well stocked with high quality linens and towels, plenty of kitchen pots and pans, lots of dishes, mugs, and glasses, and some extra touches like supplies for s’mores, wood for the fire pit, and charging stations for our electronics throughout the house. Land is lovely and location great. You can walk into Wells and you are about 30 mins from great shops and restaurants in Dorset and Manchester. Highly recommend this house.
