About this house rental

Rustic lakefront home ideally located for exploring historic New England. The house is at the end of a private road on a 1 acre wooded lot. The house is on a wooded peninsula and surrounded by water on three sides. Most rooms include water views. There is a sandy beach that includes a dock. The gradual slope of the beach is ideal for young children. The house sleeps 8 in bedrooms and has a queen sofa bed in the living room. There is easy access to Boston via car or public transportation. The house features a spacious great room with gas fireplace, large dining room and a fully equipped gourmet kitchen.

Summer and Fall are excellent times of year to enjoy swimming in the lake or relaxing and enjoying the reflection of the fall foliage in the pond. In winter there is easy access to trails for cross country skiing. Downhill skiing & snowboarding is available at Wachusett Mountain Ski Area which is a scenic 30-minute drive. New England Sport Center is a short drive down 290. The house is also convenient to the many colleges and medical facilities in the Worcester area.

Please note this is a multi-level house. There is a flight of stairs to get to the main level and a small number of steps between areas within the house. If you have mobility issues this would not be a good fit for you.

We had a little delay at check in due to the previous renters, but everything went well after that. Coffee maker died and was replaced the next day. The house offers tons of space inside and out. The fishing in the "pond" was great. Very quiet and peaceful area. I'd recommend adding an outside light under the deck at the lower level entrance. The other thing would be to cut back the vegetation that covers the house number so you know what driveway to take.

The property was wonderful, the pond that it is located on was very weedy. Fine for fishing but swimming was not really an option (this of course has nothing to do with the owner). My daughters and their partners did not like their mattresses (the master mattress was fine). Overall I thought the place was pretty clean but my wife has different standards than I do and she vacuumed and the vacuum gave off a smell that smelled like used gym socks. The vaulted ceilings had many spider webs that the cleaners must have missed. Overall the best part was the location, when on the property it felt like we were in the wilderness but it is only 10 minutes from any store or restaurant that we wanted to go to. The fishing was great and the fire pit off the kitchen was our favorite evening location.

Charming home on the lake. Very close to the city. Really great kitchen equipped with everything you could need. We really enjoyed the property, the fire pits and the lake. We rented this place specifically because of the beach and the lake for our dog to be able to go swimming. It was perfect for that. Our only complaint was that the beds weren't very comfortable but that's what you usually get in a rental property anyway. Overall a great experience.

We spent a wonderful few nights at this, secluded, quiet and idyllic property on a small pond just outside of Worcester for our daughters graduation. So much nicer than a couple of hotel rooms. Our only complaint was that it smells very damp in the basement making it difficult to enjoy the game areas and pool table. Everything else was excellent. Kitchen is incredibly well stocked. Host was excellent at letting us make a change last minute. Very accommodating.

I use the term "quirky", because this house has an unusual layout and unusual decor. Lots of steps to different wings of the house and many small areas outdoors, off of many different rooms. That said, in terms of a family stay, it offered a large kitchen, living room and dining room as gathering spaces. Very well stocked kitchen for food prep and serving. Very clean and updated bathrooms were appreciated. One word of caution- this a raised ranch with access to the house via a full flight of stairs, making settling in and packing up a little difficult for older guests.

We adored our stay and would definitely like to return! Very private, with water views on three sides! Everything was well appointed. We couldn't have wanted for more. Many thanks for having us in your wonderful home.
