The Splendid Splinter was a fantastic spot to surprise my wife for her birthday! Dear friends joined us to celebrate and the location was great for folks from eastern MA and southern Vermont. The house itself is charming and well-decorated, with lots of interesting pieces of memorabilia about Ted Williams and his family. There was an unexpected dusting of snow and the gentleman who came to clear the driveway and walkways was so sweet. I'm glad I got to speak with him. He comes from 40 minutes away to take care of those things because of his relationship with the Williams family. Evolve and Adrienne, our local host contact, were helpful and responsive with some local recommendations. Ironically, we didn't go far or leave the house often, because we had a great time inside - and never once turned on the TV. We had a splendid time at the Splendid Splinter and my wife had a magical birthday surprise celebration in one of our favorite states! Thank you, Evolve!

We had a great time at this Redsox retreat. This is our second year back and we just loved it. There is plenty of space to roam around and be comfortable. Huge kitchen and just about everything you need to cook with. The beds were very comfortable and bedrooms huge with attached bathrooms that was an added bonus. The hardwood floors are gorgeous as is all the memorabilia from the Red Sox days. Our only complaint was that we could not control the heat. We tried numerous times to turn it down and even ended up shutting it off upstairs and it still stayed at 79 degrees. Not sure if there was an issue or if it just kept running because it was so cold outside. We ended up opening windows which helped a lot. The views are stunning, the house is very comfy especially for our group of 9 and we just loved it. Would stay here again if in the area!!
