September 2026

June 2026: The house was filthy and while the owner came and cleaned upon request, under no circumstances was the house at an appropriate level of cleanliness for guests. We appreciated this was an older property but old doesn't equate with dirty. We left a day early as a result. Well located but because the homes has apartments for long term tenants also, it didn't feel private or that we could use the garden or the pool comfortably.

What to say about this place? First off, it’s quirky, like a crazy old aunt you love. The historical vibe of this place was charming and entertaining. Its layout felt like an Escher drawing mixed with the game of Clue—Colonel Mustard could have been murdered in any number of the sitting rooms. It was a perfect homey spot for our extended family to land and celebrate Dartmouth graduation. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.
