Two friends and I stayed at this house for the second year in a row. It has been a perfect place for us, being 10 minutes away from Grafton and 25 minutes from Okemo.
Thank you for a peaceful weekend away in a charming cottage!

It was okay but needs attention.
After carefully reading all the reviews, we decided to give this cabin a try. While we did enjoy our time there, several aspects need improvement. First, the price does not reflect the overall quality of the property. It is not a fully renovated space and requires significant updates. The shower is outdated and functions poorly, with only the middle section working. The toilet seat was old and unpleasant. Additionally, the oven did not work properly, and the back door was broken, meaning we had to go outside to access the porch. The beds were overly bouncy and uncomfortable. To make matters worse, the couch was very dirty, which made the living area feel uninviting. Another drawback is the location, while the road is not very busy, the cabin is situated directly next to it. This made me uncomfortable letting my dogs play outside. On top of that, the nearest grocery store is about 25 minutes away, which added inconvenience. There is a local market about 12 minutes away but it can be expensive. Making matters worse, I initially had trouble turning on the shower and tried reaching out to the host, but I never received a response. Fortunately, I was able to figure it out myself. Overall, while we managed to make it work, the cabin did not live up to expectations, especially given the price. For the amount we paid, we could have stayed at a much better property with fewer inconveniences.
Never could get the wifi to work. I entered the code on the router 6 times but no luck. Would be helpful if you changed the password for the wifi to an easily entered name.
The man who came to shovel unfortunately after we were stuck in the snow was very helpful and very nice.. He got us out.
We loved the location between Chester and Grafton. Stayed in area many times. Quaint and comfy schoolhouse with great sleeping loft.
Everything we needed. Only hiccup was listing said keurig and it only had a regular coffee machine so we didn’t have the right coffee for morning. We loved the wood stove as well, so much better than gas. Plenty of dry wood available made it easy to keep fire going. Would come again!
My friend and I had a very nice stay. The place was clean and very comfortable. We had trouble locking the door when we left, but other than that it was a great stay! Thank you
Cute house. Road was busier than expected meaning the house sits on the edge of the 22 acres adjoining the road. Would be neat in fall w the wood stove. Lived the upstairs sleeping area.
The property was very peaceful and charming.
Had everything we needed for our special time together.
Location was close to good restaurants and MKT Grafton.
Very glad we could take our cat!
Our second time — we enjoy the tranquil rustic setting and proximity to Okemo. A small full kitchen lets us cook meals and snacks. Love the wood burning stove! Thanks again!
I booked this place for a birthday get away with some friends and was pleasantly surprised when I arrived! Everything was organized and clean and would definitely stay here again!
We really enjoyed the house and the location was beautiful, complete with a nearby brook and some awesome turkey’s that came to visit in the morning. Would stay again in a heartbeat! The area is lovely!
