This property is just a few minutes out of town, not really walkable. Parking available right outside the room. The room was clean, the beds were comfortable and the towels were fluffy. Hot water immediate and plentiful. Tiled shower was spacious, with products provided. Room had a tv, air conditioner, microwave and fridge. We didn’t need the radiator, we visited in August. It DIDN'T have clothes hangers, bath mats, or anywhere to sit inside (except the beds). We did enjoy the view from the Adirondack chairs outside. It was reasonably priced, well located, clean and comfortable. I'd stay there again.

It was very pleasant, nice owners. Still renovating, but comfy. There might have been a slight plumbing issue, the plumbing seemed to be a little overwhelmed by volume of water after showers.

Most wonderful towels we have ever used. Big and fluffy! The walk-in shower was also wonderful. The room and property were very clean. The tv was quite large. We wished the beds were more comfortable. :/ Inn keeper was efficient and pleasant. Looks like there's some renovations underway. The setting was idyllic.

Room is clean and comfortable. Nice view. However, it appears that front desk barely exists and the room to eat breakfast is under construction. Also, no ice machine. All of this should have been posted and visible on Travelocity to better align custsomer expectations.

I expected a bit more based on previous reviews. That being said, the location is great and it has a lot of potential with little fixes. The outdoor space is nice. My biggest complaint is no towel rack or hook in the bathroom! No place to hang towels or clothing. There were holes in the wall where they used to be, but no longer there. No cups in the bathroom, no tissues, the mini fridge had a big block of ice that blocked the freezer and part of the fridge. There was a very strong air freshener smell - not unpleasant, but if you have a sensitivity to fragrances, it could be a problem. I didn’t realize they recycled until I saw the dumpster on the last day…a sm separate bin for recycling would be good. They were “out of” tickets to Hildene. When I asked at Hildene, I was told that they no longer have a membership. Maybe they don’t ever have discounted tickets anymore? Keurig coffee in the office, not in the room. Complimentary snacks and water were nice.
