This home was an oasis - clean, modern, and well-stocked with EVERYTHING you might need! The landscaping was beautiful with lots of flowers (kudos to Bob!), a lovely water feature that attracted birds, and an abundance of outdoor seating. We used the gas grill and easily found all the right tools. The handbook was super convenient - we used it to operate technology, locate supplies, and identify artwork (the index is very comprehensive). All three beds were comfortable with lots of closet space in every bedroom for clothes & storage. The washer & dryer reduced the amount of packing needed for the week. The location is convenient to the interstate or downtown. The real jewel is Glenn - he is helpful, kind, and eager to make your stay enjoyable. Communication was ideal - thorough, prompt, and honest. This was easily my best VRBO stay ever!

Lovely Jewel of a home

All was smooth sailing for every aspect of our stay. Communication with Tania and Glenn was superb before, during and after. The house well suited our stay for our son’s college graduation. I wish the weather was a bit nicer so we could have enjoyed the pool and welcoming outdoor area, but Glenn and Tania made sure it was ready for us nonetheless. Hope to be back in Worcester to enjoy this property!

This was an outstanding rental property and we would highly recommend it. It was spacious, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The house had everything you need, fully equipped kitchen, huge screen for watching TV, lovely bedrooms. The garden and pool area was amazing, beautifully kept, a stream/waterfall, and gorgeous flowers. The pool was huge, with sparking water, and very warm (86-88 degrees on most days). The patio area was perfect for relaxing and pool lilos/toys were even provided too! We were made to feel very welcome by the hosts, they were easy to contact and responded really quickly to any queries we had. The location is ideal for exploring massachusetts and beyond, with many restaurants and shops nearby. We had a very relaxing stay and look forward to returning in the future.

Nick, we're so glad you and your family had a lovely stay — and yes, we were rooting for that pool to deliver (86–88° deserves a standing ovation)! Thank you for your generous words. While we can't claim credit for the sun, we're thrilled ZenZone Gardens brought a bit of serenity and sparkle to your travels. We aim for the warmth of Downton Abbey hospitality (with Bob as our resident Carson), and it was a joy to host you. Come take the waters at Zen Zone Gardens again anytime!

Tranquil in the City

We needed a place for 5 people to do schooling and work while my husband tended to his ill family member. We lucked out finding this pristine listing! It was cheaper than the hotels we had looked at and had so many amenities. The check in process was quick and easy and the communication was top notch. Would love to bring my family back during the summer to vacation. Thank you so much for allowing us to enjoy your home!

Host was very responsive, guides on how to use or find things made orientation quick. King size bed was in good condition (didn't sleep in the other beds), mattress did not sag. Overall house was clean, smelled fresh, and was well laid out. Loved the Nespresso machine and the washer/dryer combo is easy to use. The 4-star rating for family friendly is because the property is upstairs and not child proofed for very young children, but that was made clear in the description. I did not bring young children, so it did not affect my stay. Neighborhood was friendly and quiet, I felt safe running outside in the early dawn hours.

We're so glad you enjoyed the new King Saatva Rx bed, found the household guides useful, the house so clean, the Nespresso delicious and the laundry machines convenient. When we have guests with children we advise them of the Retract-a-gate at the top of the stairs, the hall closet and kitchen cabinet locks, the receptacle covers, the fast table chair and play crib. So glad you enjoyed your run at dawn, tracks available at the high school two blocks away and the community college a half mile or so. Hope to see you back soon!

From start to finish Tania and Glenn have been great. Even helping us with food when our flight was cancelled. The house is soooooo much better than the pictures. Well appointed and in a lovely peaceful location. It looks gorgeous lit up at night too. We had a lovely stay, slept really well in comfy bed, the house had everything we could have wanted and more.

Great place to stay for the summer!

Beautiful property in Worcester with a great backyard pool in a quiet neighborhood. My wife and I stayed with our kids, 6 and 9, for 4 weeks in July and August 2020 to get away from the city and enjoy the outdoors. We spent nearly the entire time in the pool, relaxing in the hammock and pergola and grilling. Tania was always friendly and super responsive to any issues that we had. There was a bit of a plumbing issue that affected us for a week or so, but it was eventually resolved. Overall it was a very relaxing and much needed vacation.

Great experience at this comfy home!

Stayed here to attend a friend’s wedding and associated parties. The location was perfect and just minutes from all of the events. The house was very clean and had every convenience we needed. It was so much nicer and more affordable than the two adjoining hotel rooms we were pricing! Communication with the owner/manager was awesome! Glenn gave us several great recommendations for restaurants, and he was very communicative during our stay, checking in via text to see if we needed anything! I could tell the grounds and pool would be beautiful during warmer months! The dedicated parking was very convenient and well lit at night. Wonderful experience and would definitely stay here again!!

Amazing

The decor is outstanding. The yard is meticulously cared for. The backyard is paradise. You don't get this from a hotel. The beds are comfy, kitchen is huge. No cable on TV, you will need a laptop with hdmi output to connect to the projector. But with the pool and gazebo, there wasn't much TV watching going on. I throughly enjoyed my stay and if I ever get the chance to go back through Worchester I know exactly where I'm coming.

A Modern Zen Oasis

Located in a quiet suburban neighborhood, this beautiful 3 bedroom is warm & inviting. The house features an ultra modern setup with Siri speakers throughout in every room, induction stove, remote controlled fireplace, projection TV, etc.There are QR codes to go with every aminity, so you're never at a loss. Best of all, though, are the hosts. Glenn, who is on-site, was available through out our stay, whether to offer advice, take in a package that was delivered, or even share an Amazon link to one of the home's amenities that I particularly liked. This truly was a home away from home.

Our son is going to WPI and we needed a place to stay for family event with the school. Overall we loved the property - cool decor with Turkish lamps, artwork, plants, and interesting gardens, home accents, etc. Every detail is covered including 100+ home manual, city guide, and QR code links on how to use everything. We loved the giant projection TV for watching Top Gun. We also played some of the board games as family that were provided. Convenient location to WPI, local stores, etc. We plan to stay again.
