Nice place in a quiet nook of the neighborhood

I enjoyed my working vacation stay here, the location is conveniently close to strip malls for necessities but has a remote feel because it is tucked away by Indian Lake. A nice place to relax.

Lake View

Our family enjoyed our stay here. It was nice to have a kitchen and was surprised to also have a laundry room. Beds were comfortable and it was a quiet neighborhood. The lake view was beautiful. Would definitely stay here again.

After a very long night of tenants upstairs making tons of noise, the owner took care of it first thing. Then we got snowed in and they were there bright and early to dig us out. Superior hosts!! House is extremely comfortable and spotless! We’ve stayed there 3 times and look forward to our next stay

Excellent place. The neighborhood with the lake is adorable. Grocery and many things are very closeby but the property seems like it’s in a quiet, secluded location. Very nicely decorated and appointed with everything available that we needed including extra bedding, towels, kitchenware, spices. Host was readily available and accommodating when we wanted to extend our stay. Will definitely return if I find myself in the area again.

Worcester stay for College Graduation week

Lovely home away from home that allowed us the comfort to spread out and the opportunity to make meals in between running back to graduation activities. Very well appointed kitchen and bath with comfortable bed in separate bedroom. The view of the lake with swans and ducks swimming across the road from the sliding entry doors and the birdsong outside gave us the sense we were at a lakefront get away. (Care should be taken when driving down the unpaved road.)Would highly recommend this apartment and would travel there again if the opportunity arises.

Comfy place

Downstairs unit was exactly as described in the write up (clean, comfortable and nice decor). Check in was easy and efficient. Tony was a great host. As mentioned in the property details, the upstairs unit may get rented as well. If so, the noise from the upstairs guests can get a bit loud (footsteps, music and talking). Just something to be aware of. Overall loved the place.

This place was perfect for what we needed! We were in town attending an event at Worcester Polytechnic Institute with our son. The institute was less than 10 minutes away. We even drove into Boston for a day which took us less than an hour! We would definitely stay here again!

Thanks so much for staying with us, Matthew! We're really glad our apartment worked out well for your WPI visit and that you were able to explore Boston too. We'd love to have you back anytime!
