Wonderful house for extended family meeting. Needed the separate bedrooms. The amenities were great. Kitchen was very workable for multiple cooks. My 6 year old 2nd cousin had a great time playing games with the adults. We used the grill and had a suberb grilled dinner. Close to Concord and all the historic sites. Wonderful working with the owner. Very accomodating. We will be back for our next meeting in 2027.

The location of the house was perfectly positioned for our New England golf trip, allowing us to embark on day trips to golf in CT, MA, ME & RI. Kim is a truly exceptional host. Communication was responsive and helpful right from the start. She suggested we pre-order groceries, providing local store options, then offered to accept delivery of our groceries and put them away for us. It was incredibly convenient to have our groceries there when we arrived at the house. Kim went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable & had everything we needed throughout our stay. She also provided local restaurant recommendations that were perfect. This made a positive impact and elevated our experience.The house is clean and fresh, the décor is lovely, the furniture is comfortable. Everyone in our group noted how comfortable the beds and bed linens were. The bathrooms are well stocked with essentials & towels. The kitchen had a generous supply of everything we needed: dishes, flatware, glassware, coffee cups, coffee, paper towels, and garbage bags. The back deck is beautiful; we started each day out there with coffee & breakfast and ended each night enjoying a glass of wine around the fire pit.We wholeheartedly recommend this rental due to the truly exceptional host and the ideal location for exploring the surrounding areas. The combination of easy access to 4 states and the host's outstanding hospitality made for a memorable and enjoyable vacation.
