This property was amazing. Such charm, and spacious...everything was excellent and Brett was very attentive! 10 out of 10...would stay again and highly recommend.
The historic home was tastefully decorated, very clean and comfortable. It was a great find for a weekend with friends. The communication with the host was excellent with easy checkin. We would definately stay here again when in the area.
This property was a great find for all involved. We had family and pets from all over the country who had never seen an historic homes and or the beautiful fall foliage that we have in New England. The home was comfortable and had all the amenities you could adke for. It's was clean and beds were comfortable. Hope to visit this special place again!

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!
This house is so charming & was perfect for a wknd reunion with my cousins. Everything you need is there... gracious host & lovely amenities. House is decorated beautifully & also has kept it's old world charm. We hope to return someday.
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.
