This is a wonderful property and we truly enjoyed staying there. Looking forward to coming back closer to the holidays -- and enjoying the outdoor space/walking path even more. Barbara is a terrific host and the home offered a perfect respite for our family and dog making this place 100% puppy and people approved!

House and property were fantastic. All the spaces feel accurately depicted on the site and we felt very welcomed, and free to use and enjoy anything in the house. The property has so much charm, Barbara was very accommodating, and we also loved the admission into Longwood Gardens. We do wish we had more descriptive awareness in advance that the owners are in connected quarters and share the utilization of the property during the stay, and that a cat and a dog utilize the rental space (for hair, allergies, etc). But overall we loved it and plan to return!
