Perfect for us.

The Hardwick Hygge home was exactly what we needed for our stay in the area. We shopped Brimfield in the day and relaxed in the evenings. Quiet area, well equipped, and easy to get to.

Brimfield getaway

This property is awesome. Location was only about 25 minute drive to the flea market, which was our reason for visiting the area. House was spotless, provided alot of necessities in case anything was forgotten. Its location is quiet and secluded. We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it to anyone.

Feeling the Hygge

My husband and I stayed here for a few nights with our dog and had a GREAT time! The host was incredibly helpful, patient, and kind with answering all my questions. This vrbo is beautiful and so so quiet and peaceful. We only wish we could have stayed longer. We will definitely be back!

Hygge House was perfect!

A beautiful house with spectacular views! We really enjoyed going back to the house after our daughter’s college graduation and relaxing. It was so quiet and peaceful. The house has everything. Our elderly dog really loved it. He didn’t want to leave. Thank you, Joel and Leah!

Best Home Away From Home

This amazing property was the best home away from home as we dropped off our son at Amherst College. The home is beautiful, pristine, and very comfortable. The owners have put together a thoughtful manual for checking in/out and great eateries during the stay. We can't wait for our next trip. A 10 out of 10!

A GEM

We loved our stay so much! There is so much bright, sunny energy here. Joel and Leah have created a very special space with lots of love infused, from their carefully thought out design to their generous share of information and knowledge of the area. Clean, cozy and welcoming retreat! I brought my work team here while we explored the Brimfield Antique Show. We will be back! Thank you thank you!

Perfect stay for a track weekend!

My wife, young pup and I spent a weekend at Hardwick Hygge and it was the perfect reprieve after a day at Palmer Motorsports. The house was very clean and absolutely beautiful. We experienced both sunny weather with the perfect pond view, and thunderstorms with a cozy spot to relax. The beds were comfy, and our pup loved the small deck off the kitchen. Very peaceful and quiet. We didn’t plan to cook, but the kitchen was well stocked with appliances and basics. There is even a smoker outside, which sadly we didn’t pack for. Plenty of take out spots in the neighboring town of Ware - about 10 min away. Overall we had a lovely time and it was a perfect spot for our stay. Thank you to the hosts!

Nice new property, Lake view

Nice new construction, lake view, modern styling and layout, nice bathrooms, kitchen, etc. Very responsive host. By far the nicest and newest place in the area. My only two areas for improvement would be 1- mow a section of the 2' grass/meadow surrounding the house for a comfortable spot to enjoy the firepit, and 2- invest a little $ in a used hard kayak, as I couldn't figure out how to inflate one section of the inflatable kayak and it would have been great to just grab a hard kayak and get out on the water. The neighborhood is interesting. Some renovated camps, some in total disrepair, and one nearby with a neighbor shooting a paintball gun or bb gun at night while loudly bragging about killing 38 beavers so far this year. But what are ya gonna do? It's rustic.
