We stayed here for 6 nights (2 adults 4 children). Lovely quiet location, the lounge and outside seating were lovely and great for wildlife spotting. All the bedrooms were a good size. The house is split level with 3 bedrooms on the ground floor, lounge/kitchen on the 1st and 3 further bedrooms on the 2nd. This layout suited us really well, due to the stairs I wouldn’t recommend for toddlers (our youngest was 5 and more than happy) We did several day trips into Boston which was only a 20-25 minute drive, crane beach was only 45 minutes away too. We would stay here again if in the area Thank you Sam!

We absolutely enjoyed our stay. The house was convenient, well laid out, and had every amenity our group of 8 could ask for. We enjoyed the screened in porch, well equipped kitchen, and spacious living area. As a group of 8 we occupied every bedroom and noticed how quiet it was, with no noticeable noise coming from other rooms. Very peaceful, enjoyable stay, and if we travel to this area again we will definitely be looking to stay here again!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is settled on a large property and surrounded by beautiful trees and natural vegitation. It was quite and peaceful. the screened in porch was the best spot in the house. We enjoyed each morning drinking coffee and soaking in the sounds of teh birds and small creek that flowed next to the proch. The home was like stepping into a time capsule. the beds were comfortable and the home was warm and enjoyable. I highly recommend staying here! We will definitely be back. The owner was very accomodating and very responsive. Thank you Sam for letting us stay at your lovely home!

We loved the outdoor access with woodland conservation area and trails nearby, all within easy range of the historic, literary and cultural destinations we came to explore!

This property is pretty much at the end of the road of a beautiful area in Lexington/Bedford. Very little traffic concerns. The house was really nice, Mid Century style with plenty of windows to see the greenery beyond. Plenty of bedrooms, lots of open space and a covered porch. Most everything you need in the kitchen. Could use an updated stove and a Kuerig. Convenient to train stations into Boston, I95 to points north and south and the Burlington mall. Several restaurants within 20 miles without having to use I95. We enjoyed our trips to Boston, Portland ME and the beach. And our downtime at the house. The surrounding neighborhoods are so refreshing and calm with forestry. The owner communicated throughout our stay, the house was clean, the property maintained. We would stay here again. Thank you so much for a great relaxing vacation.

This was a wonderful location, not far from busy Boston, where we enjoyed the tranquility each night. Home had everything we needed and it was spaced out perfectly for the 8 of us. Would stay again.

Perfect property for our family get away! Great location in a quiet neighborhood, but close to the city. The home had lots of space for our multi-generational group to have some privacy. The check in process was very easy. The property was very clean. Sam, the host, was fantastic to work with and very responsive when we had questions. We will certainly stay here again!
