Amazing house- highly recommend

I was a little nervous to book this house because there were no previous reviews, however, I’m happy I did. Susan and her team made our stay amazing. The property and house are beautiful, clean, and easily fit 12 people. We especially loved the pool and the large kitchen and dining area. Would recommend and I hope to stay here again.

Amazing property

We stayed here for a long weekend as our son was getting married at the Harding Allen Estate which is a 3 minute drive from this home. We couldn’t have been more pleased with everything this home has to offer. It rained almost the entire time we were there but it didn’t matter because this place had so much to do for all of us. Game room, pool, BBQ area (we did cook-out in the rain!). Bedrooms were clean and comfortable. All bathrooms were clean and well maintained. We had travelers from Idaho, Virginia and California stay with us and they enjoyed the “home-feeling” when they arrived. So much better than getting 5 or more hotel rooms. We can’t say enough nice things about the home and the owners.

What a house

Stayed here with 11 other guys for two nights and had such a great time. The yard is large and the game room is spacious. We loved exploring all 10,000sqft of this sprawling house and really appreciated all the amenities included (12+ pool towels on top of everyone having their own shampoo, soap, and bathroom towel sets). Communication with the host was the best I've ever experienced as well, they had extra baking trays on our doorstep within 5 minutes of asking! We will definitely be keeping this place on our shortlist to revisit.

Fabulous, sprawling, unique house. A+ owner.

House is very cool. It’s huge and sprawling, you can almost get lost in it. Even though I’m 40 I’d have played hide and seek if I had thought to do so. Owner is easy, helpful, and communicative. Amenities match that of a hotel (towels, soaps, etc laid out like a Hilton). No complaints or caveats. Thanks for a wonderful stay! 🙂

Great Pool!!

This was a great house choice if you want to stay put. Pool area was clean and had plenty of towels and floats. Game room included a large TV, pool table, pinball machines and fireplace. Kitchen included everything you needed. Three bedrooms had full bathrooms. Two more full bathrooms - one in the pool area and one off the kitchen. Also included a half bath in the game room. Plentiful towels and amenities in each bathroom. It would’ve been better if beds were all king sized or at least queen sized. The only problem was with the lights in the game room - several were not working making it dark and difficult to enjoy in the evening. There were many gas fireplaces - just wish they all were in working order with remotes. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Really cool house with tons of space. Stayed here with our bridal parties for a wedding weekend. Communication with the host was a beyond frustrating process to get a response. We had to contact customer service multiple times. We finally got a phone number for the host, who would only answer some texts but had no follow-through. The host knew we were staying there for a wedding (not on the property) and agreed to an early check-in for a charge but didn't send the invoice. No check-in information was sent until after an hour on the phone with customer service and multiple calls and texts to the host, and an hour after the agreed-upon early check-in. This was stress we didn't need on our wedding weekend. We tried taking pictures outside and the yard was filled with poop EVERYWHERE. The pool was pretty chilly and didn't smell or look clean. No remotes for gas fireplaces worked. Thankfully, we didn't need the elevator because we were told it was broken. Ultimately, everything worked out and it was a really cool house, and customer service reimbursed us for the charge for early check-in since the host was late for that.

This house is a truly stunning piece of Massachusetts’ history. It’s updated, sprawling, and immaculate. My family and I stayed here for the duration of our daughter’s wedding weekend at the Harding Allan Estate. There is abundant space for both relaxation and fun.There are many bells, whistles, and specifics. I’d recommend writing them all down for the people who stay with you so that they can quickly and easily access the rules and gentle requests, especially if you are not going to be at the house with your guests 100% of the time during your stay. I did not do this, but wish I had. Suzy, the hostess, is warm and gracious. She was very understanding of all of our needs and super easy to communicate with.If you choose this home, you will not be disappointed with the accommodations!

The property was great, except for the fact that we were unaware that the elevator was off limits before we got there, which my parents were looking forward to. Otherwise,everything was as advertised and Susan was responsive to all our inquiries. It was a great experience/vacation.

The house is lovely, we enjoyed the pool, the game rooms were great for the grand kids. Would have liked a larger TV in the living room off the kitchen. And the elevator working would have saved my knees going up and down the stairs.But I would stay here again if I was ever in the vicinity.

The house was amazing. Plenty of room for everybody

Our stay was very positive. It was a family getaway, and we were all able to stay in the house and enjoy each other. We choose this particular property because we had our grandchildren and wanted an indoor pool and game room. This house accommodates both. We had the pleasure to meet the owner, and she went above and beyond for all of us. If we had any questions, she was a phone call away. We would definitely consider going back. We would highly recommend this property to other families.

Exactly what we needed

This was a great property, and suited our needs perfectly. Expansive, but be prepared for cooler than expected pool water. That said, the surrounding pool area was very warm. The fireplaces that we looked were a perfect addition, and once they get the rest of them figured out, the ambiance will be even better. 10/10 would recommend for anyone looking to have a quaint getaway with a bunch of friends and family.

Wonderful

The house was gorgeous. I knew it was big but it felt even larger when we arrived. My wife loved the layout of the kitchen and we enjoyed the pool area. Not sure if the pool is supposed to be heated but the water was a little colder than I was expecting at first but it was still refreshing. The kids enjoyed playing in the loft area and game room. It looked like a nice little town as well but we unfortunately didn't have a lot of time to explore. Hopefully there will be a next time for us to be in that area and if so I would definitely consider this house again.
