Good 1990's mansion with TONS of character and clutter
The good - plenty of room! There are endless places to gather and hang out. Lots of bedrooms with beds, lots of bathrooms, love the ability to separate and go to your own corner. Fabulous location! It is in a safe place and this is surrounded by gorgeous homes. Loved the fancy toilet seats. BUT BUT BUT This is like super super cluttery. Stuff everywhere. It is not clean, the bathrooms smelled like mildew, there is a gas smell from the heat/AC turning on. The home is worn down. There are stains all over the carpet. The laundry room has other people's clothes in it and PILES of stuff and clutter. There's is an ice maker that doesn't even work. Stuff smells stinky and old. This house would have for sure been THE house of 1998. But it has seen it's day and is super dark and dreary inside. Floor to ceiling thick heavy curtains, make shift part hiding hordes of junks. The backyard is a MESS! This is a great home for large groups, but somebody needs to take 5 truck loads of books, clothes, blankets, broken toys, kitchen utensils and odd paintings out of the home. It needs a good spring cleaning .

We had a wonderful time in what we called our Russian Chalet. One of our group is fluent in Russian and loved the cookbooks, art and the feel of the home. We enjoyed playing pool and chess in the evening. The home was clean and well prepared for our stay.

Quick weekend
This is a fantastic place to stay in Newton. More than enough space for the whole family. Nice size yard out back. All the amenities you’d want to make you feel at home. It was relaxing and comfortable.

October stay 2023
Overall we really enjoyed our stay, but there are some things we think that would have made this stay even better. The house is huge and open, and like other reviews the beds were super comfortable. We were a party of 10 with 7 adults 3 children ages 12, 13 and 8. We had some trouble with the gas stove, only 1 burner worked for us to cook eggs in the morning. The living room had very limited seating as there is a huge pool table in the middle of it. We did enjoy the pool table, but several people had to sit on the floor while watching some Halloween movies. We dragged some of the furniture from the other den to the living room but those leather couches were very uncomfortable and only fit 1-2 people tightly. Wiring for the hot tub was above ground and laying like a hose so it did not seem safe. Nonetheless we did go in the huge hot tub which fit 5-6 of us easy and we enjoyed that. Lastly, a few prior reviews mentioned there was a mouse in the house. I thought since months had gone by since those reviews that we were safe and rodent-free: I was wrong. The day before we left my husband took a video of the mouse right in the middle of the living room. Thank goodness we left the following morning. If the property manager or homeowners would fix the stove, hot tub wiring, provide better furniture for the living room for large families to gather, and take care of the mouse they would get better ratings

Family Weekend Gem
The home accommodated our extended family for a wedding weekend filled with new memories. The large yard with ping-pong and hot tub provided something to do for everyone. When the weather soured, the ample public spaces with pool table and fooseball kept everyone entertained. The kitchen’s large selection of cookware and storage easily accommodated take-out meals and those made at home.

Lovely house in lovely neighbourhood
We were 6 adults, 2 toddlers and 1 one year old staying together for a family event. The house was perfect. Our grandchildren loved the kids' suites, especially the "princess room" as my granddaughter named it. The backyard was great for the kids, soccer nets, swings and slides, and a firepit which we used (with mesh cover). The house was clean, well supplied, lots of towels for everyone, lots of showers, great kitchen, etc. Beautiful home with lots of personal items from the owners, so it needs to be respected and taken care of by anyone who uses the house. A real gem!

Weekend Stay for a Family Reunion
We stayed with friends & families, kids ages 1-10. There were plenty bedrooms for everyone and it's difficult to find a place with so much space close to Boston. The property was in a quiet neighborhood with driveway parking that held our 4 vehicles, so 5-star location. The bedrooms & bathrooms were top notch, and the beds themselves were comfortable. The kids had plenty to keep them entertained - ample space and toys in the play room, an outdoor area that had a full playset and soccer goals, foosball table inside, etc. The house is not baby-proofed (e.g. the electrical outlets aren't covered, no child-proof latches on cabinets). There is some artwork in the house with nudity and sexual promiscuity. Upon arrival we smelled gas. We called the property manager, who answered immediately, and explained that the smell could be due to the AC being run for the first time after a period of being idle. We aired out the house, which helped, but we went nose-blind to the smell and it seemed to come back each time the AC was turned on. Our fault for not calling the property manager back, as she did offer to send someone out to investigate if airing out the house didn't work. We were locked out of the AC at midnight the day of departure, which made for a warm evening & morning. We saw a mouse outside day of arrival and inside as we left. Refrigerator water & ice maker didn't work. Gas stove lit sporadically. Expired food in the cabinets. Kitchenware needed cleaning (e.g. tea pot).

Spacious but did not meet expectations.
We were disappointed by some of our experience...there is definitely a mouse - we saw it several times. Ice maker doesn't work and there was no ice supplied for our arrival. Large built in coffee maker in the kitchen doesn't work and leaked water. No washcloths or hand towels - only bath towels. Very little glassware for everyday beyond an army of miniature wine glasses. The dishwasher was Full upon arrival. Cobwebs. Backyard was quite messy including dirty lawn furniture. Playroom was fun for the kids but there were a lot of broken toys. The space worked for our family but I wouldn't rent it again.

Perfect Family Trip Setting
We had 9 in our family party and the mother-in-law suite was perfect for my elderly parents and aunt so they did not have to walk up the tall staircase to the upstairs rooms. Plenty of bathrooms so everyone had their own space. We hosted a dinner one evening for local family and friends and the dining and living spaces were accommodating for that too. It rained so we did not use the back yard but would have been a nice place to eat outside. We are a family that cooks together and tend to be super organized, we were able to find everything we needed in the kitchen. Veronika an accommodating host and responsive. We would stay here again.
