Bem-vindo ao Século 17

Built in 1677, the house is secluded in a picturesque, wooded ‘plat’ beside a pond. It's the ancestral home of our Fenner family, members of which played instrumental roles in founding the Colony and the American Revolution.
Original art and antiques adorn the property, which also features an ancient fireplace of remarkable scale and elegance.
Perfect for romantic getaways, artists’ retreats, and families (including well-behaved children) interested in the home's rich history and surroundings.
The Major Thomas Fenner House is a 17th century property that is inscribed on the National Register of Historic Places, and we've arranged the House to sleep up to 10, across 4 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms (i.e. eight adults and two children). One of the single beds is in a room that also serves as the passageway to the second floor bathroom.
The home is an architectural rarity as one of the few remaining ‘stone ender’ structures in North America, and is full of period features and rustic prerevolutionary charm. Guests can enjoy the full kitchen and formal dining room, or barbeque and dine al fresco in nice weather.
Our family has made efforts to ensure modern guests’ comfort, while abiding by good conservation practices and maintenance of a period ambiance. Guests may encounter critters, drafts and so forth on occasion, as might be expected in a 350 year old house surrounded by woods and wetlands. Therein is another layer of charm, for those with the requisite fortitude and discernment.
The House’s current guise as a short term rental supports our family’s ambition to preserve this important piece of American history. We invite guests to support us in our endeavour by treating the property with fascination, respect and care. Guests will be held responsible for any and all damage to the House or its contents.
The Host reserves the right to decline prospective guests with no or poor reviews.
