This is a delightfully designed house that was perfect for a college graduation weekend stay! Multiple bedrooms and baths throughout the house offer privacy, with an open dining and living room open to the balcony above for group activities. Communication with the host was quick and easy before and during the stay.

The property was clean and well supplied. Good communication from and with the owner. Off street parking available for one car. Nearby curb side parking for another. A potential drawback forsome renters may be that air conditioning is through room air conditioning units and ceiling fans. The house may not be suitable for those with mobility issues as there are stairs to climb to access the house and inside the house.. There is a first floor bedroom once the outside stairs and a small flight of stairs are accessed to the first floor.

The host was excellent! I messaged prior to booking, as I'm not from the area and needed to know proximity, etc. (we were there for a funeral). She was very empathetic and very helpful. I was nervous as I had never used VRBO or any booking site, but I am so pleased with how easy it was. Soo much better than staying in a hotel!There were 4 of us; we each had our own room with a TV to retreat to. We sat on the back deck to enjoy our morning coffee. The beds were very comfortable, the rooms spacious. There are plenty of places nearby to get food, a corner store within walking distance to get snacks and drinks (alcohol!), easy access to the highway, parking in the driveway! There were a lot of stairs, but it's New England- that's expected.Overall our stay was very pleasant. Host was excellent. It was such a blessing to have found this listing; we were grateful to escape the funeral grief and breathe at "home". No offense, I hope I never have to go back to Massachusetts, especially not via car, but if I do I will absolutely rebook this property.

Spacious property in a great location

We recently stayed at this property to do college visits in Worcester - the location was great for that, allowing us to get to the campuses in less than 15 minutes. The home has tons of space, including MANY bathrooms (always a plus). It was very easy to find things we needed, and the host was a very clear and prompt communicator when we had questions. Her expectations for cleanup are very reasonable (just taking out the garbage). The host was also very generous in supplying small bottles of shampoo, conditioner, etc., as well as having things like qtips and even menstrual products out - we had brought our own supplies along, but it was nice to see those thoughtful touches.A few notes for other guests to know about - not cons, but "be aware" of: the house has a fair number of steps and you can't enter or access a bedroom without using them; the couch is not the most comfy, but we were mostly off adventuring so no big thing; there weren't a TON of drinking glassware, so if you had a group of more than 6, you might want to bring some disposable cups

Home needs some attention

The home has a nice layout and good potential, but there were several maintenance and cleanliness issues during our stay. The dining room window was cracked, and the main level bathroom had a broken door and a shower door without a working track. We found used towels in the kitchen and lower level bathroom, and window sills were noticeably dirty.There were goldfish crackers under the coffee table from a previous guest, which clearly hadn’t been cleaned. The kitchen was sparsely stocked with dishes, very few regular drinking glasses. The house also did seem to have some electrical issues, with many light switches not working. The smoke alarm had also been removed.The deck had rotting boards, and poison ivy in the backyard, which had been mentioned in a review weeks earlier but was still present. When we asked the owner, she said she wasn’t aware of it. The deck could have been an enjoyable place to relax, if it had been better maintained and didn't have a security camera watching.Some of the furniture and rugs were stained, and many of the light switches and outlets could use a deep cleaning. With some more thorough cleaning and general maintenance, this property could be much more enjoyable.

Such a great place to stay. We loved the patio out back. We loved how clean it was. We really loved not being micro-managed like some properties do, with pages of dos and donts until you feel like you can't do anything except sit quietly. It was nice to just have direction about the basics and you trust that people know how to proceed. The space was great, quiet, close to the things we were there for. I doubt we'll we ever need to stay in Worcester again, but if we do this is the first property I'd check for availability. Thank you!!
