Weekend disc golfing

A couple friends and I stayed for a long weekend to play local disc golf and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We loved how spacious, comfortable, and clean Christopher's place was and were thankful to each have our own bedroom. Will definitely be back!

Lovely neighborhood! Quiet and comfortable home.

This is an ideal place to stay in lovely Barre, MA. The owner communicated well and we had such a nice stay. We were in town for a family wedding and this home was situated in a quiet, safe neighborhood close to shopping and Dunkin Donuts :)

Felt Like Home

One of the best places I’ve stayed! My father was raised in Barre and we often have to stay in Gardner when we visit. It was amazing to not have to drive 20+ minutes to get to my cousins farm. The house feels like home. The beds were all comfortable. It was nice to be able to spread out and have enough space for everyone to relax. Couldn’t have asked for a better situation or host! I will definitely be booking again.

A holiday home by mountains and lakes

We had a wonderful time using this as our base for skiing at Wachusett. Everything we could have asked for was available, including the fully equipped kitchen and laundry, and our host was super responsive.

The cleaning fees seem high, but the place is spotless. Not much for hotels in the area, so this is a decent spot.

Thankful

My husband and I, our 15 month old and 2 dogs needed a place to stay on short notice while work was being done on our house. This place was exactly what we needed. And the property owner was incredibly helpful by allowing us to stay despite me booking it for the wrong week!

Lovely Kitchen

The whole place was very nice and well-stocked with toiletries and other essentials. Being the cook of the family, my main impression was of the kitchen. Spacious, stocked with cookware, a powerful gas stove, and with a peninsular countertop between the kitchen area and living room so you can cook without being completely separated from your family.

Family retreat

This was a very nice apartment, quiet, clean and had everything we needed; plenty of towels and kitchen accessories. The problem was it seemed to be set up for winter, wool bedding and no air conditioning in the bed rooms.

Quaint House and Stay

We gave an overall 4 star - stay. We had a great trip and stay. Home was very clean. This is a duplex house so we did hear the neighbors coming and going - up and down their stairs. Check in process was a bit rough as our gps was not taking us to exact location. Be mindful of numbers on homes not in any kind of consecutive purpose. The house number was very small and could not be seen in the dark. 5 stars to the owner as he answered our late night call and assisted us with finding the home. We thank you for our stay and look forward to returning.

Nice House in a Quiet Neighborhood

We had a short stay while visiting family nearby, and this little place was great for what we needed—a place to sleep that was close to where we were going. It’s in a small, quiet neighborhood, and there is parking right by the side door for one or two vehicles. Check-in and entry were a breeze, and a basket of coffee awaited us! It was mostly clean when we first arrived, but there was a small pile of dead carpenter ants on the baseboard heater in the half bath. I just wiped them off and threw them in the trash before we left to get dinner. When we got back, it was immediately apparent that there was a carpenter ant infestation. The host was instantly responsive and brought baits to take care of them. The biggest issue for us was the A/C situation. The living/dining room has a window unit, as does one of the three bedrooms—two bedrooms have no A/C, and that was not really clear on the listing (box fans in the bedrooms could have helped). When we tried to use the dining room A/C, it would work for a minute, then trip the circuit breaker, so we’d have to go flip that to get it (or any outlets on the same circuit) to work. We weren’t using much electricity (just the TV, a few lights, and my tablet charger), so we were all a bit perplexed. Eventually we gave up and just used ceiling fans. We didn’t use the heaters, but there were a ton of blankets, so I imagine that it would have been a non-issue in cold months. All in all, not bad for a limited stay, and the host was great.
