We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Big Farmhouse! It’s such a beautiful property, and the house was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and welcoming. We especially loved relaxing on the back deck and taking in the peaceful surroundings. Eric was incredibly responsive and readily accessible whenever we had a question or needed anything. We had a wonderful stay and will definitely be making plans to return next year.

This charming, rustic home—dating back to the 1800s—is a perfect stay for anyone who appreciates historic properties. We absolutely geeked out over all the character and details. The house was spotless, well-appointed, and cozy, with very comfortable beds and a peaceful, quiet setting. Check-in and check-out were both seamless. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect place to stay!

This was the perfect place to stay while we visited family in Massachusetts. The place was kept beautifully and had all of the amenities to make our visit comfortable. We will definitely book this place in the future.

Relaxing retreat

Optimal access to hiking and surrounding towns! We enjoyed the quiet secluded property with plenty of room for us and our dog to enjoy the great outdoors. The surrounding historic towns were an easy drive.

Selected this authentic 1860s home to share with my photographer daughter who has never been to New England, where I grew up. The house and neighborhood was excellent for Fall photography.
