The ladies and i had a great time this past weekend for a 5 day 4 night ladies weekend get away. It's our 3rd time here and we love the property. Very spacious inside for all of us to hang out especially in the kitchen area where we mostly hung out. We had one small issue with one of the showers backing up with water. We made a call to the caretaker John and he was there within a hour to fix it. Also, our host Kerri was great when renting this beautiful home. Can"t wait for ladies weekend 2027!

Three generations gathered here for our annual fall New England get together and it couldn't have been better. Lovely home and grounds, comfortable beds, and all the necessities for a relaxing stay. We had 2 days of rain while there, so the game room and movie theater saved the day! Loved our stay!

Great Stay for a Weeklong Summer Family Get Together

Had a great time with family here. The property can use a little love and attention (ex. many locks are broken, the basketball hoops were broken, the tennis court can use some sprucing up, many lightbulbs out throughout house, no soap in some bathrooms, the pool remote control broke while we were there, two of the patio umbrellas flew out of their bases while we were by the pool, etc.), but overall a great stay and a very responsive/attentive property manager/groundskeeper who always came over right away determined to address / solve whatever issues we had. Overall an excellent house and property and location that more than satisfied our needs.
