homey farmhouse

This house was much roomier than I imaged from the pictures. All the rooms were good sized, and everything was there to cook meals and set an attractive table. This had a charming old fashion feel but had cable and wi-fi available to make keep me entertained and connected. So grateful that Joe and Beckie shared their little place to travelers like me looking for something beyond a motel room.

Short but sweet

Charming old colonial home is located across the street from access to the banks of the west branch of the beautiful Farmington River. The two bedroom first floor of the home includes a patio area, large kitchen and cozy sitting room. I was called home for an emergency before my departure time and Becky was super kind and arranged for a generous partial refund. I highly recommend this property.

Grandma's House

A full kitchen of devices to make home cooked meals, and a detailed provisional cupboard to augment meal-time prep. A home away from home!
