This New England cottage is a slice of times gone by. If you love antiques and house features that carry a story, you will love this place. The ceilings are low, so 6' people beware. We had one in our group bang his head a few times until he got the hang of it. The shower is also set up for a more petite stature and is raised in a footed tub, so not for ones with mobility issues. The kitchen was well stocked with kitchen ware and spices. Floors are wonky and sloped, as expected in a house of this age. The beds are very firm, which is part of the reason I didn't go to 5 stars. We all had trouble sleeping on them, and our hips hurt. Even memory foam toppers would help. Also, look closely at the bed description. We had three couples, so it wasn't ideal, since only two rooms have double beds. The other rooms have bunks and single. The view of the river is very nice, and my favorite room was the dining room with the three sets of french doors with screens, allowing for a nice view of the water, and the breeze to come in the house. Lots of steps to the water, so again limited mobility for some. The outside, yard and bank seem to have some deferred maintenance, and could use some TLC. The house reminded me of relatives homes that have past, but held lots of memories. My grandfather also had a rope on the staircase for a handrail. Even though it was old, it was dust free and clean. It was easy to get to Groton for a wedding, and a huge plus that it permits dogs.
