Our family stayed at the house for 2 nights to attend a nearby wedding. The house was just as pictured - lovely, clean, and perfect for our stay. The hosts have been very thoughtful about every detail from easy check-in to a well stocked kitchen to cozy blankets for the comfy couch. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend!

Everything we needed.

Kathleen’s cabin was exactly what we needed when traveling for a family wedding. The house had everything we needed. The house was described perfectly. Kathleen was quick to respond to a few logistics questions we had. Great spot if you are skiing at Mt Wachusett.

Comfy and Nice!

Our stay at the pondside cabin was great and we hope to return in the future. The cabin itself is beautiful and was roomy and comfortable, and the owner was so nice. I would definitely recommend the cabin. In addition, even though we stayed in the summer, it is really close to the ski resort!

Wonderful cabin!

We had such a great stay here! The owner has created a cute, clean, and organized place. It is well decorated and very comfortable. It easily accommodated our family of four adults, plus some friends who came for dinner. The owner was also very responsive when we needed help with anything. Highly recommend it!!

Winchester cabin

My family of four stayed in this cabin for several days and it was a fabulous stay. The house was immaculate, very nicely set-up, and had sheets, towels and other amenities including a well-stocked kitchen. The location right at the base of Mt Wachusett was fantastic as well. The host was extremely nice and communicated with us very quickly through the messaging feature on the app. We will definitely stay here again if we are in the area!

One of the best places I have ever stayed! It was truly a retreat setting; we had a small leadership retreat here. The house was super clean, quiet, well furnished, really spacious, comfortable and had so many extras like coffee, food items, toiletries, and nice tasteful dishes. Beds were comfortable, all hypoallergenic (no feathers, plug in scent-makers or all that awful stuff!!) Nice big garden, firepit, and lake and mountain views. Plenty of parking. AC, fans, many lighting options, cellphone chargers etc. Could not ask for anything more. I hope we have the chance to return.

Very nice house*

Very nice property, however, I would caution anyone who expects to do laundry during their stay. When I booked the house I was unaware that it does NOT have laundry available for guests. Had I known I would not have booked, but, for those that don’t require laundry, it's perfect.

Outstanding Holiday Away from Home

This property is amazing in every aspect. My family and I spent a terrific Thanksgiving week here. The house/cabin is extremely clean and well-decorated. The kitchen had new appliances, was fully stocked with dining and cooking equipment, and was a perfect place for me to prepare my traditional dinner for 7. The cabin's lighting is also amazing; the furnishings are all very tasteful, cozy, and comfy. We absolutely loved the location, right at the foot of Wachusett Mountain, with lots of hiking trails and skiing close by. The deck of the cabin looks out onto a pond and a firepit with Adirondack chairs. The owner Kathleen responded to our emails/queries very promptly and took good care of us! There is not a single thing about this property that my family and I did not absolutely love!
