I just to live at 169 Fort Pleasant ave I new the neighborhood we moved there in 1963 so I booked the house knowing ware it was it was just what we needed thank you
My coworkers and I stayed at the mansion for a conference at the Mass Mutual center. It was a short drive from our location, though we could have walked it in about 30 minutes as well. The mansion was very clean, instructions were very clear, and we had no issues. Thanks again for the stay!
Our group was a team of clinicians from out of state staying here at the house. They had a wonderful experience. The owner/property manager were very communicative throughout.
We were 2 moms and 4 teens. We found the house spacious, clean, charming, and comfortable. The manager was great to deal with and there was plenty of communication in both signs and a folder at the house and messaging through VRBO. We would be happy to stay here in future and highly recommend it!
We had a wonderful stay at the Hendee Mansion. There is so much character in this home and I wish the walls could talk to tell the stories of this house. Ken was great during check-in and out and we had no issues at all during our stay. The neighborhood was quiet and friendly, we spoke to a few locals and it was great. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.
I recently stayed at the Historic Hendee Mansion in Massachusetts, and it was a truly memorable experience. Our group of seven was incredibly comfortable in this spacious 4,600 square foot home. The mansion's unique and intricate details, reflective of its 100+ year history, were fascinating to explore. We spent hours admiring the craftsmanship and imagining the lives of those who once stayed or lived in such an incredible place.
Our hosts were awesome—very accommodating and always just a text away if we needed anything or had any questions. Their attentiveness and hospitality added a special touch to our stay.
If you ever get the chance, definitely consider staying at this historic home. The combination of spacious comfort and rich history makes it an exceptional choice.
The home was used to house family coming from various states to attend an event in Northern CT. We found the home to be very clean, well stocked and spacious. Ken, who managed the property, promptly responded to inquiries and requests leading up to the visit, and questions we had during the visit. In addition to exceeding our housing needs, the homes history, decor and architecture makes it worth visiting just to experience it.
The house is beautiful and clean. It is well-appointed with towels, kitchen supplies, coffee machines, kettles, toasters, plates, cups, etc. The kitchen is a good hang-out space. The AC worked well and there were ample fans. Wi-Fi was strong and there were several spaces for work at home. It was very nice to have a working laundry. The garden space was cute; I even saw a bunny hop by as I was working outside. The owner was responsive as needed to answer questions. The driveway fits 4 cars easily. There is a park nearby as well.
The only thing I would say is that there were some issues with the door locks that felt unsafe, but having reported them to the owner, I assume he'll take care of it. And personally, I would prefer to have more than one easy-access exit. In this case, the only easy exit out is through the kitchen. The other doors (front and garden access) either required a key to exit or were marked with caution tape as use-only in an emergency.
