About this house rental
The Wadsworth House was built in the mid-1800s. It is a fully renovated and modern Shotgun house in a quiet part of town on the east side, walkable to all events, to the river, and to shops/boutiques on Main St. Some folks living around have been living in the area all their lives. The Wadsworth House is situated on a charming tree-lined street with lots of character. Besides being a family name, it is also named The Wadsworth House in honor of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, whose poems I was forced to recite in the 5th grade! Hated it then, appreciate it now :)
One of the original owners, a carpenter, moved into the house in 1907 and added the side hall onto the east side of this shotgun house, giving it the privacy needed for the family. He had immigrated from Germany and took a job working at the button factory in town. Hardwood floors, a modernized full kitchen with granite countertops, and king-sized beds with full tiled bathrooms make this house a comforting getaway.

Everything about this cozy little house is perfect. Two big bedrooms and two baths. Parking was great, Mona and Jeff are very thoughtful hosts. The location is walkable to Main St. downtown. We will return.

Mona’s house was one of the nicest VRBO’s I have ever stayed in! She has everything you could possibly want at your fingertips! Comfy king beds, stocked kitchen, 2 different coffee machines, laundry with soap, shower with great products… the list goes on. The house is spotless and looks brand new. Outdoor patio on attached garage to have a sip of your favorite beverage and watch the birds while enjoying the scent of honeysuckle. I can’t say enough. Mona is also an excellent communicator! Will be back.
