Really good experience
Stayed at the house with my in-laws, and everyone thought the house was fabulous. Tons of space for five adults and a four year old. Really well stocked kitchen and cozy living spaces. We'd love to stay there again!

Lovely Property in the True Old New England Style
This uniquely charming property has tons of space and all the modern conveniences while maintaining the old New England country look and feel of its heritage. It's practically a historic landmark, but it feels fresh too. It's somewhat far from town, so the location is perfect if you want secluded quiet. But you can still get to the Starbucks and shopping in Athol in 15 minutes if you need that. Everything went smoothly. Reserve with confidence.
