This is the second time we have rented a property from Gwen. Both times, we found her extremely responsive and accommodating. This little bungalow was charming and comfortable and a perfect place for us and our adult son and daughter in law. The separation of sleeping areas allowed us to get up in the morning, have coffee in the living area next to the electric fireplace, and go for a morning walk without disturbing them.

Our stay in Brimfield was outstanding. The instructions we received a few days in advance made it very easy to access the cottage. The guide inside the cottage was helpful in telling us what was expected and provided information about the local area. The cottage was well equipped, comfortable and met our needs for the stay. Gwen was very responsive to any request. I would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone.

The property was very nice. Because of our age and my husbands mobility issues, navigating stairs were somewhat problematic. The house was clean and when we arrived, the outside lights were on which was very much appreciated. Access into the house was easy. The location was very close to our venue.

Thanks for the review Barbara, I am glad you enjoyed your stay although somewhat confused and disappointed that it did not earn a 10. The listing specifies there are stairs, The photos show there are stairs. I am sorry that you missed that. I am disappointed as you mentioned that there was an alarm that was going off which we never found once we inspected after your stay but regardless gave you a credit for the night in order to be good hosts yet the review does not reflect the extra efforts. If it's all due to the stairs, then unfortunately we can not take responsibility for that oversight. Getting an 8 for a review despite saying everything was great is at the very least disappointing and really affects our ratings and bookings.

Perfect little getaway

This property is beautiful. Located by a little lake and quite secluded for the area. The property owner is very easy to communicate with and the house was very clean and quaint. When we arrived in the dark, the lights and heat were on which made it very easy to find and inviting. I would definitely stay here again if I am ever back in the area.

Special place

So glad we found this lovely cottage! Great location for Sturbridge to Springfield events and activities yet very quiet. We were in area for flea market and to visit family. Two couples or a multi generational family would be comfortable here. Very clean and well stocked with the items you would need for your stay. Beds are very comfortable, a bedroom on 1st fl is a plus. Decorated beautifully yet feels very comfortable. Host is very responsive and clearly wants every quest to have a wonderful stay. We come to this area several times a year and will look forward to returning to this cottage.

Exactly what I needed

I booked this property for two nights. It was extremely clean, well lit and Gwen had some relaxing music on when I arrived. Absolutely beautiful and perfect as I had just had 2 plus hrs of traffic to get there.The kitchen is just perfect for the space allowed. Bedrooms (2) also just right. Bathroom was clean and well stocked. I really liked the small details such as : hair dryer, small bar soaps, bath soaps/salts, lots of tools for the kitchen, blankets and pillows that were clean, smelled great, fridge was clean, range was clean, silverware clean etc. Electrical features were all on a smart system and easy to use. The property was super clean and just right for a quiet stay. ParkingAll in all it was comfortable and cozy and Gwen was an excellent host who sent check-in info when asked as well as recommended places to get provisions and a meal. Thx so much Gwen. I’ll be back at the next Motorsport event!
