Graduation trip

Wonderful lakefront property close to Worcester, Brimfield and Sturbridge. The home was perfect for a family tip for a Holy Cross graduation. Christine was the perfect host, she was easy to communicate with and very responsive. Her kindness and attention to detail made us feel right at home! We would definitely return.

Visit to MA

Property was perfect for our trip. The three bedrooms worked for us: we were two couples and two adult sisters taking a nostalgic trip down memory lane. Duplex is on a lovely lake and next to a nice park...if the weather cooperates (we got snow). Nice rural area but be careful making a left turn onto hwy 9 as it's kind of a blind corner. Local restaurants weren't fancy but had great food and service. There's a Walmart a couple miles up the road. We visited Springfield, Boston, Cambridge, Lexington-Concord, Plymouth, and this was a great location for all that. Boston Area: miserable traffic and parking so plan accordingly. And in MA in general Pot is fully legal so take that into account if that fragrance really bothers you. Also, having an E-Z Pass paid off as there are lots of tolls.

Nice quiet spot on the lake

My brother and i stayed in this property over the weekend while attending a music festival in nearby Worcester. The property has plenty of space for 8 or more people and two full size baths. It also has a 3 seasons room and patio furniture with a nice view of the lake in the backyard. The owner/host was very nice and responsive. Overall, this was a great property that we would return to. My only criticism is the listing does not make it clear that the owner lives in a connected unit under the same roof that shares a common hallway. She also has what appears to be a flower shop (or at least a workshop where she arranges flowers for deliveries) right next to the property. So it's not nearly as private as the listing might lead you to believe. But again, we enjoyed it overall and the owner didn't bother us at all, so we would likely return if in that area.

Lake House

Beautiful property with easy access to the lake. The three of us were comfortable with the home. The house is in a hilly neighborhood which would not be ideal for older adult walkers, but was fine for us. There was an unusually strong "garlicky" smell in the house that could use some scented or odor neutralizing candles. I don't know if it was from cooking, the floral shop or a natural insect repellant. Just worthy of note. A dehumidifier was in one of the bedrooms. Window air conditioners are in each bedroom for comfort. It was very nice not to have to bring bed linens and towels. Thank you for the use of your lake house.

Flea Market Family Roadtrip

We loved everything with the location, beautiful property and lake access. House was clean and more than spacious for five adults. The only disappointment was both queen beds were to soft and the twin beds were hard as bricks. However, we would absolutely rent again!!

Great location on the lake

We had 5 adults and we loved the lake even though my husband didn't catch any fish. He tried all kinds of bait but they just weren't biting. The twin bed mattresses were perfect and the outdoor furniture was very comfortable. I'm glad that I brought my own pillow and some extra towels. Our favorite area was the backyard. The ducks visit several times a day.

What a lovely property! We thoroughly enjoyed our week and spent 90% of our time relaxing under the trees watching the lake. The family of ducks who would visit was very entertaining. If you want to enjoy some peace and quiet, this is the place.

Relaxing place to stay.

Our stay at the lake property was very relaxing. The lake was pristine and nice to swim and walk in. Everything about the yard was great, from the seating, to the soft, squishy grass and landscaping. Plus the outdoor floating toys, row boat and paddle boat made it so fun! We just loved it! The home had all we needed to be comfortable and the space was just perfect. It was especially nice to have a laundry on site and also a gas grill! We would definitely stay here again. Also a plus was having a friendly host who was very accommodating. We had a wonderful time at the lake home!

Amazing!

This was our third year and our best year so far! Our family lives in different states so this is a perfect meeting place. Fishing was great! Our relaxed swim in the lake led us to meet their very sweet neighbor (wish I could remember her name). Picked up some beautiful gifts at Saint Joseph’s Abbey Gift store. Christine & Pete are such lovely people and so easy to reach if you need them. All in all, another wonderful time at the lake. The only downside is that we should have booked a longer stay. Can’t wait to go back again next year! Thanks Christine & Pete! 🤗💕
