Wonderful home

The amazing game room, large movie theater, and terrific pool and hot tub were the high points for our grandchildren, ages 10 - 18. The adults also enjoyed the tennis court and the beautiful grounds. The house is super close to shopping, restaurants, and all types of entertainment. The property manager and caretaker were very responsive and helpful. We couldn't have found a more ideal setting for our family reunion.

Just as advertised

Just finished my stay here at this amazing property and we were not disappointed. 7 of us stayed here for our annual golf trip around New England and we loved every minute of it. I was a little skeptical prior to the trip because of past experiences as I know pictures can be deceiving. This one was just as advertised. The place was very private and very clean. The theatre and outdoor patio/pool area were a big hit for us. When we weren’t golfing we were in one of these two spaces. The amount of privacy, the pool, the theatre, and tennis/ basketball has everything you could need for a guys trip. I highly recommend this place and would love to stay there again. 5 stars
