While the house is a bit rustic, it was fine for us. We were thankful for the AC window unit as it was quite hot while we were there. The neighborhood is relatively quiet with little road noise. Newfound Lake was great and we got to meet nice people with whom we shared the beach. My only complaint is that the trash situation is a bit confusing. The Bridgewater incinerator and transfer station is on Dick Brown Road and was open on Fridays and the weekend. The provided directions link to the Bristol transfer station on Ayers Island Road requires a sticker that must be purchased from the Bristol town clerk. We didn't mind dealing with the trash but would have appreciated better instructions.

Nice location. Fire pit was very nice. Secluded so you didn't have to worry about noise levels.

We had a wonderful week at Tom & Delia's home in Bridgewater. There were 8 of us and there was plenty of room for everyone to have space. There were 3 floors of living space and the downstairs was awesome with its own bathroom and a washer and dryer. The kitchen, dining, and living room areas had plenty of space to get a meal done and just hang out. I dealt with Tom mostly and he was very accommodating and available for anything we needed. The only bummer was there was no bathroom on the 2nd floor. But we had a very relaxing week and spent a few days at the Wellington State Park which was beautiful. Thank you for a wonderful stay at your cozy home.

The property has a sufficient amount of space and felt very private. For the most part the temperature was comfortable without us having to run the window air conditioners. The finished basement was much colder than the rest of the house, which made it a nice exercise space. We didn't use the upstairs bedrooms, but they looked like a good space if kids are with you. The fire pit was extremely nice to have available, though the chairs around it were in rough condition and the wood pile was uncovered, so it was tricky finding usable wood after the recent rain. The small (shared) beach was empty for the majority of our stay. Parking for it was confusing but we got it sorted out. It’s about a 5-10 minute walk to the beach, down to Mayhew Turnpike and then a shared path. It would have been nice if the kayaks on the property were included with the rental, but unfortunately they were not. We did have a cleanliness issue when we arrived—the refrigerator, stove, and trash had not been cleaned before our stay (it is the renter's responsibility to take the trash/recycling to the dump, per Bridgewater regulations). However, we communicated with Tom and he worked with us to reach an agreeable resolution, which we appreciated.
