Hygge house was perfect for our party of 6 to visit mass to attend my daughters college graduation. We loved the natural light and common living/kitchen area with bedrooms downstairs. Truly felt like home. Thank you!!

Be careful of the address. Several members of our party were brought to the wrong address when arriving at the property for the first time (as were all of the folks who were delivering items to the house throughout the week).Though the listing says it can handle a few more folks, we were a party of 5 adults and I genuinely wouldn't put more than that here if you want to be comfortable. The layout of the home is a bit unconventional but was fine for our week-long stay.

Hardwick Hygge was extremely comfortable and homey and had everything we needed. A nice, big table has been added to the patio! I was extremely thankful that my pup was allowed and it was great walking her around the neighborhood!

Perfect for us.

The Hardwick Hygge home was exactly what we needed for our stay in the area. We shopped Brimfield in the day and relaxed in the evenings. Quiet area, well equipped, and easy to get to.

Feeling the Hygge

My husband and I stayed here for a few nights with our dog and had a GREAT time! The host was incredibly helpful, patient, and kind with answering all my questions. This vrbo is beautiful and so so quiet and peaceful. We only wish we could have stayed longer. We will definitely be back!

Brimfield getaway

This property is awesome. Location was only about 25 minute drive to the flea market, which was our reason for visiting the area. House was spotless, provided alot of necessities in case anything was forgotten. Its location is quiet and secluded. We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it to anyone.
