This is such a unique home in a quiet neighborhood. It was close enough that we were able to walk to the DCU center each day (25min) and there are plenty of good restaurants in the area as well. There was some work being done on the property while we were there which did result in some lost sleep, but I don't expect that to be the norm. The home was very adequately stocked with plenty of towels, blankets, kitchen items etc and overall it was a very cozy stay. The pool and hot tub are a nice touch if you'd like to take advantage, but since this is shared with the main house there are likely to be other people in the vicinity if you spend any time outside. Overall this was a great stay and we would definitely return in the future.

Wonderful, cozy and comfortable cottage nestled away in a leafy neighborhood. The pool and hot tub were enjoyed by my kids and grandkids in a small family gathering. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. My granddaughter and i walked over to the playground at Elm park. I will definitely stay here again!

A Beautiful and Lovely Place

We were both happy about the location and home accessories. We were close to Elm Park a place t o walk and picnic. It was very comfortable home to stay. We would return. As a homeowner, I suggest you tightened the the toilet bolts in the laundry room.

Ready to Run

Great stay for me, my wife and our diabetic doggie — more than enough room for him to spread out, and he loved the French doors and nearby park! Being in town to run the Boston Marathon, the space and full kitchen were great for relaxing and preparing multiple meals ahead of the run. We didn't have as much time to explore Worcester because of the race, but this location worked great for getting groceries and takeout while we were there; if it worked for a Boston/Hopkinton focused trip, I'm sure it will be even better for a Worcester focused trip!

Comfortable and Charming

Loved this charming carriage house in a very nice and convenient-to-everything neighborhood. From the 2bedrm, 2bath layout, to the wonderfully soft and comfortable beds and linens and the delicious macchiato coffee pods, our stay was perfect. The April weather was unusually warm and sunny so we were hoping to enjoy the pool too, but it hadn’t been cleaned and treated for such, unfortunately. Maybe next time!

Much nicer alternative to a hotel

We were visiting Worcester for Holy Cross Family Weekend. Looking for an alternative to booking 2 overpriced hotel rooms, I found this adorable
