NO PARTIES, etc putting stress on the older timbers. Recent nail head in flooring due to old timbers and larger groups have been removed and replaced with screws due to problem with prior larger parties.

NO LATE NIGHTS, LOUD MUSIC, NOISE. If you are part of larger group/event staying at the John Carver, this house cannot be the host house for all your guests and cannot host large events/parties.

Having a GOOD NEIGHBOR policy is critical for communities everywhere, and managing the relationship with neighbors, plus the other challenges of hosting events, trash, wear and tear on a home of hosting guests is something we prefer to avoid.

This house is beautiful and historic, plenty of room. Love the beauty of the crooked floors, slightly off walls and hallways! Really authentic. Missed the opportunity to open any windows in the house any some of the furniture needs to be looked after. As many of the chairs are broken. We didn’t have the privilege of using the hot tub or the deck because we had a rainy weekend but this house salvaged our entire family reunion.thank you so much.

Traveled to Boston area for family funeral. Great location. Very comfortable for ten adults and an infant. Property owner/manager very good about answering emails quickly. Would love to return for a happier occasion.

The house is in a great location, lots of comfy beds and well equipped. It was as described for sure. Our only issue was that we contacted the owner after arrival because one of the doors would not unlock and this is a major safety hazard. He took awhile to reply, when he did he did not understand what I was telling him and when I tried to explain and ask about it again, we did not hear back. Hoping they fix the front door dead bolt- as this is a huge safety issue in case of fire!
