Clean and Quiet

I rented this house for my adult children while we visited family in Newton. It was clean and quiet, and we would book again.

pet friendly means REALLY pet friendly

We have no regrets about choosing this property, but I would warn folks that there is a doggish smell in rainy weather.

unfortunate circumstance

I had travelled to Newton to celebrate my mother's 100 birthday. Location was great and easy to find, check in was easy, property was as lovely as advertised. I dropped off luggage and met with some friends and family. Returned later, watched 30 minutes of TV (also easy to manage), turned the heat down, and went to bed. Just about asleep and a banging noise seemed to come from the back. I got up to but could see nothing. Just about asleep again and a loud crashing noise seemed from the front - like someone was banging on the door or window. Again nothing - but upsetting. Through the night I eventually discovered that each time the furnace came on the banging noise (like a cover opening) and each time it went off the crashing noise - all night long. Needless to say a very restless and nearly sleepless night. I was too wired to try to sleep there again so I packed up and left early. I watched TV for 40 minutes and slept in a bed. Never used a towel, never even turned the water on in the kitchen. I hope this was unknown to the property owner and can be fixed. With the exception of this unfortunate situation the property was lovely and the experience with VRBO was completely satisfactory.
