Such a nice location and the room was so cute, cozy, and especially comfy! Lots of nice hiking trails nearby and Just a great place to enjoy nature! My boyfriend and I were celebrating our anniversary here and we’ll definitely be back. This place is magical and the start to a great tradition.

Really enjoyed our stay. Property and grounds are beautiful. Caretakers Kim and Jed were a great couple and very responsive and friendly. They made sure we had wood for the fire pit. They also have a propane fire pit. Will definitely be staying again.

You should stay here!
We did a driving tour of New England last week. This was by far the best hotel we stayed out and definitely the least expensive.
The room was so spacious. We stayed in the Crawford suite. It a king with a pull out couch and a separate bedroom with a queen. The bed was so comfortable. The bathroom was roomy.
The coffee bar was a nice treat.
Would definitely stay here again!
