Mike greeted us with a big smile, jokes and their dog Darby. Wonderful greeting. Beautiful place tuck in the woods on Baker pond. Room was big clean, bed comfortable with wonderful sheets. Met Kathleen in the morning ,wonderful person that makes delicious scones and great coffee. Wonderful couple. Will go back definitely .

The Baker Pond Hideaway was a perfect weekend retreat for us. Kathleen and Mike were very easy to communicate with before booking and prior to arrival. The property is gorgeous, secluded, and very relaxing. When we arrived, Mike gave us a tour, recommended some places to explore, and made arrangements for what time we would want scones and coffee in the morning. We had lake views from the bedroom, which came with a very comfortable bed, but we spent most of our time outside enjoying the beach and paddling around the lake in the canoe. The lake itself was also very quiet, even over the weekend – we really had the place to ourselves. If you like fishing, you won’t be disappointed! We caught many fish, including perch and bass. To top it all off, Kathleen’s scones were very impressive, and we had fun playing ping-pong with Mike. We would definitely recommend the Hideaway!! Kathleen and Mike, thank you for your hospitality!

A wonderful stay in a beautiful setting with lovely people. Thank you Mike and Kathleen for your hospitality, scones, and for recommending Zorba's restaurant.

Fantastic lakeside retreat, wonderful house and a generous host. We went for a morning swim. The room and the bathroom were great. It was real quiet and comfortable. Highly recommended!

Beautiful location and idyllic setting on the lake. Clean, well appointed apartment and excellent swimming in the clear lake. And, simply lovely people. Highly recommended.

A very special spot on a small lakeside in rural Massachusetts, close to Sturbridge and the Brimfield Antique Show, Mike and Kathleen's house is expansive and comfortable, with a private bedroom and bath downstairs that overlooks the lake. Both were roomy and impeccably clean, and set apart from the main house, which one nevertheless has access to, especially the nice kitchen. The real draw here, though, has to be Mike and Kathleen themselves; a terrifically charming, sweet and intellectually curious older couple who will no doubt leave you feeling as inspired as they did us. Kathleen makes some pretty mean scones for breakfast, too. We could only stay one night, but given the value, hospitality and bucolic location here, one could easily make it a week with these exemplary hosts.

Accurate listing. Hosts were great. We were there for a short time but it was a nice visit.

Thank you, Kathleen and Mike, for the very warm welcome. You've got a lovely spot on Baker Pond.

Very accommodating, clean, and comfortable. Catherine had the room ready for my son and I once we arrived and gave us a warm welcome. I would definitely stay there again in the future.

I highly recommend this Air bnb. The host is very accommodating and friendly. It feels like you have your own hotel room and is actually better than some hotels I've stayed at. The bed is huge, comfortable, and has any kind of pillow you want. The carpet is soft and welcoming, towels the softest you'll ever feel, and the room has anything you could need: soap, shampoo, silverware, microwave, cups, plates, menus for local delivery, ceiling fan, etc; the list goes on.

Catherine's place would be great place to relax or if you are into casual kayaking/water sports because the place is located next to a lake and a place (Lakeview Marine) that rents kayak/paddle from mid-May to October. It has a private bathroom too. Great value.

我到达时房东帮我提行李,煮好吃的饭菜/冰棍邀请我分享。免费送两张周末最好位置的blueman group show票给我。细心教我如何开车去Grafton火车站搭火车去波士顿,如何交停车费...最爱她的两只狗狗:jazz 和Stella,一个每晚准时跟我玩球,另一个索吻索抱抱与我跳舞。每次我开车出门回家,它俩趴在窗台迎送我。我离开时望着它们哭了。

Lisa and Mike are very hospitable. They made us feel welcome and we were able to use their kitchen and washer/dryer as we pleased. We shared a meal and had some beers together. In fact we had most of the ground floor to ourselves. They have two great dogs, but you have to like dogs because they are very present. We loved them and had a wonderful stay.

Accommodating host. Clean, cool, everything worked, Lisa was very nice. As advertised.

If you are looking for a place to enjoy the New England beautiful landscape and quiet neighbours you should stay at Lisa beautiful home, his entire family will make you feel like old friends. Thank you so much Lisa & Mike you are wonderful !!!!!!

Quiet residential neighborhood on s hillside. No street lights. Nice gardens, including the garden at Lisa and Mike's. The AirBnB room is on their ground floor and opens off the kitchen, as does the bathroom next door. Both are clean and. spacious. Bedroom is air-conditioned. the hosts are very welcoming and highly helpful.

The host canceled this reservation 7 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

This Airbnb exemplifies the Airbnb philosophy. Everything was perfectly described and well-organized. Communication with the owners was extremely easy and timely. I wish all my Airbnb stays could be this positive.

Mike and Lisa were super accommodating with my arrival even greeting me in the driveway and helping me with my luggage. At one point, Mike surprised us with a treat for my service dog Lucy under the bedroom door. Mike, I forgot to thank you -- know it was appreciated by both of us! I loved having the clean, spacious, and COOL room to escape my daytime environment and the hot and humid weather. I enjoyed walking the steep hills in the neighborhood and appreciated the in-room refrigerator and access to washer/dryer. If I return to the area, I will undoubtedly check Mike and Lisa's availability. Finally, after departure, my glasses somehow ended up tangled in the bedding and Lisa found them and offered to ship them to me at my next destination and dropped them off at a shipping location just a short time later. Stellar! The bed is super comfortable as well; neighborhood is quiet. I recommend Calabria's restaurant while you're there.

Me and my boyfriend went here for our anniversary and we were extremely impressed. We adored Joe and Barbara! They were present upon our arrival and gave us a tour of their home and we even came a bit early. Their home is cozy and clean, they had staple items stocked in the fridge along with fresh muffins. They had organic eggs too which was a plus. We also tried the French press! We were able to use their hammock, went paddle boarding and just relaxed. They checked on us through text every day and made sure we were okay. We even exchanged a few stories when we would see them. They gave us the perfect amount of space as well. Their home is beaaaautiful and we will definitely be coming back! We loved it!

We had a great, quiet weekend getaway here. The deck over the lake was fantastic and peaceful, and Joe and Barbara were kind and very welcoming.

Just a perfect place - nice sitting room, small but excellent kitchen, very comfortable bed and bathroom. Everything you need is there - and it is clean, beautifully decorated and is right on the 'pond' (lake). There is a deck with chairs and table for sitting out and enjoying the scenery. I highly recommend this Airbnb.

We can't say enough wonderful things about Joe and Barbara. They went out of their way to make us feel welcome, while at the same time giving us privacy when we wanted it. The apartment is beautiful, comfortable, and well-stocked with everything guests might need. I spent much of the weekend reading in the hammock overlooking the lake, which was exactly the peaceful, restorative time I needed (next year maybe we'll be less lazy and take advantage of the canoe or kayaks or paddle boards). Thank you, Joe and Barbara - we hope to see you again next year!

Joe and Barbara were gracious, considerate hosts and their "Waterfront Apartment" was immaculate and beautifully decorated! The apartment is very comfortable (great bed and seating) and there is a lovely deck with a table and chairs overlooking the lake. The walk-in closet is a real bonus too. We had everything we needed plus extras like 1/2&1/2 and coffee already supplied. We enjoyed the local natural life especially the American bald eagle and otters. We looked forward to the amazing sunrise, sunset and stargazing in the evening. Though we expected to find most of our entertainment in Boston (an easy drive) Joe suggested the museums and restaurants in Worcester. Surprise! The Worcester Museum of Art was the highlight of our trip. Thank you Joe and Barbara for a wonderful Airbnb experience!

Barbara and Joe bent over backwards to make me feel at home. They even had organic eggs, fresh fruit, and a special muffin waiting when I arrived. There's a breathtaking 180 degree view of the lake from the apartment and the deck. They also gave me a tour of the lake on their powerboat. A delightful experience!

We went for a weekend getaway. It was was very charming and relaxing place. Joe and Barbara were absolutely wonderful! Highly recommend!

What amazing place... exactly what we were looking for after several days in NYC. The apartment is located at a lake and surrounded by nature. As soon as we walked into the apartment it felt like home. Joe and Barbara put in great effort to decorate the place - very well done. They were really helpful and made sure we got the best out of our vacation! We will definitely come back. Highly recommended!

Pamela & Naia非常好相處,女兒在這兒住非常的興奮,第一次看見螢火蟲、生營火、住在森林裡,也是這次旅程中最喜歡的住宿,非常適合帶小朋友入住,可以親近大自然與動物接觸;未來有機會到波士頓旅行,還是會再次住在這兒

The tee pee is magical and Pamela is a gracious host. We even drank our morning coffee while petting baby billy goats, it doesn't get much better!

This was a great experience and Pamela was a wonderful host. The Tepee was well kept and private. Having access to a clean bathroom and kitchen was a plus. Pamela wealth of knowledge of the local area was helpful when planning our day trips. Would definitely recommend it to others.

Too short! We stayed one night only but it was fabulous, a great night! With an 11 week old and a 3 year old plus myself and husband - we had a cozy, sweet experience. Cozy beds, sweet air and woke up to woodpeckers and chickadees. Wonderful! Thank you Pamela and Naia for being so accommodating and welcoming!

Pamela met us right away and showed us around. The setting turned out to be great. The property is large (several acres at least) and up on a hill so you can see out. Neighbors are not close by at all, so you really get the sense that you are out in the country. Pamela was very friendly and accommodating. The tepee is plenty spacious and charming.

Wonderful host, and the teepee was great. A truly unique stay. Thanks again Pamela!

The teepee was great! We were lucky enough to get some snow fall over night and woke up to a winter wonderland. Pamela was very helpful in setting the fire up and making us feel secure in the set up, as we would have to keep the fire going all night. We had plenty of blankets and it was a very peaceful environment, a great getaway from the life of cellphones and electronics! Highly recommend staying here!

A really magical winter glamping trip. We brought our dog and our 3 year old. Pamela was very hospitable and has a beautiful property.

Every thing was perfect... What could I say more ????

I rented the place for my family visiting from Africa. Margaret was a great host. The place was as advertised. The location is close to many takeaways.

My family of 5 stayed with Peggy for 4 days and 3 nights after a 1500 mile drive. My children are 1, 3, and 5. Peggy was very thoughtful and left a number of things (crayons, coloring books, crackers, and stuffed animals) that let us know that the kids were warmly welcomed. This was so kind and put us at ease. We have a lot of friends in the area and this location was central with easy access to Worcester. It was a great home base that we were able to rest in as well as use as a place to cook dinner with our friends over a couple of nights. The space was cozy and warmly decorated. The beds were cozy and all the accommodations were adequate. We were able to do laundry, bake pies, and make a huge pot of chicken soup while we were there. Peggy even gave us 60 free range eggs to take with us! She was such a lovely host and I will happily stay with her next time we go "home".

We're a family of three, two adults and a 7yr old, visiting MA from out-off-state. We stayed at this apartment over the Christmas holiday weekend, and loved it so much, that we stayed an extra night. The owner, Margaret aka Peggy, is an absolute sweetheart! Very responsive and communicative, extremely flexible, and she went out off her way to make us feel welcome and at home. She loaned me everything I needed to cook and bake for the holidays, including baking ingredients! She also offered, and then decorated the apartment for Christmas, complete with a Christmas tree and a special ornament for our daughter to hang (and take home with us when we left!). Even providing a Santa mug & plate for cookies we baked Christmas Eve! Cannot say enough how much we appreciated Peggy making us feel "home for the holidays!" The apartment is exactly as described and pictured, and then some! Centrally located and easy to find. We spent each day travelling to Worcester, Barre, and up to Leominster, and found it easily accessible to trips in every direction. Loads of parking, private entrance, heated mud room (which was a welcome surprise as it was freezing out!). The apartment has it's own thermostat, so easy enough to set the heating to whatever makes you comfortable. Peggy set out loads of quilts and extra blankets, so we could snuggle on the couch and were warm enough in bed. Well-equipped kitchen, and whatever more you need - Peggy is happy to loan! The living room and couch were very comfortable, perfect for hanging out and lounging. The two separate bedrooms are quite large, with loads of space for luggage and ample closet and drawer space for putting away clothes. What surprised me was that there is a large flat screen TV in each room (so 3 TVs in all), each with cable, so endless channels to watch, and each with a built-in DVD player - which is a Godsend when travelling with kids and sports fanatics! I cannot go on enough about how nice this apartment is, and how perfect a host Peggy is. We are so grateful to have spent our holidays at Peggy's place, vs stuck in a hotel room. Can highly recommend, and will definitely stay here again, and again!!

Peggy (Margaret) was an absolute pleasure to work with. I and some colleagues are in town sporadically for the next few months working on a project, and Peggy's house perfectly fit our needs. Plenty of physical space to spread out and get work done, fully outfitted kitchen, big bedrooms, clean bathroom, big parking lot, excellent wifi - fits a variety of needs. I needed a few extra requests from Peggy beforehand, such as printing some files and having some packages delivered to the house before our arrival. She was incredible easy to reach via e-mail and actively worked to help us every step of the way. She offered to do some shopping for us beforehand in the event we needed anything special, which was also appreciated. The house is close to a number of restaurants, bars, and grocery stores. If you're in town, or nearby, and need the space to spread out with friends or family, I highly recommend it!

Excellent accommodation. Convenient to both the Brookfields and Worcester. Huge yard (wish it was summertime), plenty of parking in the driveway. Comfortable beds, fluffy towels and very, very clean unit. Peggy met us upon arrival and is a perfect host! Friendly, responsive and welcoming. Couldn't have asked for a better place. Will keep this unit in mind for my next visit.

너무 좋아요

Peggy was absolutely wonderful to work with. Checking in was a breeze, and she was there to meet us and make sure we got there and had everything we needed. The apartment was indeed cozy and spacious! You can tell how much time and attention she put in to making the place lovely from the stocked kitchen and bathroom (with lots of towels and washclothes) to the charming decorations, seasonal pumpkins and gourds. Nothing was out of place and it felt so comfortable and homey. The bedrooms are very large, the beds very comfortable, the sheets were great 100% cotton, great pillows too! There is a pullout couch also that my parents slept on and said it was super comfortable. Also, large flat-screen tv's with cable in living room and both bedrooms. Peggy made it a truly special experience by leaving us a big bowl of fruit, and leaving a little teddy bear as a gift for my 2 year old. I was very touched, it was so thoughtful. Parking is very easy as there is a good sized lot right next to the house, the apartment is right in the heart of town, super convenient, and with lots of amenities near-by. This apartment was an exceptional value, pictures don't do it justice! Very clean and cozy, with a wonderfully welcoming host. Thanks again Peggy!!!
