Beautiful, spacious location right on the water and close to Sturbridge for fall activities, and the host was responsive to questions and concerns. We enjoyed using the kayaks too! However, cleanliness could have been better -- for example, the oven was not clean, which led to the smoke alarm going off repeatedly until we scrubbed it down ourselves, we found old food on the grill, and there was a septic smell inside by the front door. The host explained the previous guests had left the rental a mess and she didn't have time to completely clean, so I am giving the benefit of the doubt. The kitchen also would have benefitted from a few more basics, and although the listing said there was a washer and dryer, the guide book said we couldn't use them -- which would be important for a longer stay. Overall, the quality of the rental was OK, but it could be really great with a bit more upkeep.
