About this property

Sarah’s Haven is a Nelson Phipps beautifully handcrafted Cape in the heart of Massachusetts built in 1953 from the lumber milled from the land. All the walls are original pine board walls, handcrafted cabinetry, and red oak floors. It has nine rooms, five bedrooms, and can sleep 10-11.
Sarah’s Haven sits on over four acres of pristine privacy overlooking it’s own pond. Daffodils, irises, and lilies abound in the spring, while azaleas, butterfly bushes, orange blossoms, and trumpet vines follow all summer.
Bask in the summer warmth or swing on the rope swing, hike trails, or just enjoy the tranquility and natural beauty surrounding this home. Huge picture windows look out over the pond and the acres of beautifully landscaped grounds. It's the perfect hide-a-way for the whole family.
All this is within ten minutes of downtown Worcester attractions: theaters, colleges, medical facilities, DCU events, and museums.

Worked for our large group of 10

Very rustic, but we had the sleeping arrangements required. The kitchen was also stocked with enough cookware. Downside was only one shower.

Perfect for a family weekend!

The house and property were better than we could have imagined - the pictures don't do it justice! It is the perfect location for a family weekend. The living room and kitchen are big and open and the bedrooms are HUGE. Everyone had their own individual space but could also comfortably gather together. The property was stunning. It felt very peaceful to sit in the living room looking out the large picture window to the pond and fall trees. We will absolutely keep this house in mind for future stays in the area!

Solid place to stay

This old home is charming and met our needs well. The living room/dining room/kitchen space was great for our party of 6. Tho only drawback is the shortage of restrooms, primarily having only one shower. While there are 3 toilets, one doesn’t even have a door. Otherwise, it was a nice place to stay for a few days.

Nice getaway

Great old house. Full of character. Everything hand crafted out of wood. Very comfortable for my family of six. Nice location. Fantastic for a disc golf themed vacation.
