Beautiful, bucolic setting!

The property was lovely and the property manager was very friendly and accommodating. The space was ample, beds were very comfortable, and the a/c kept us cool in the middle of a heat wave. Only issue was that the house had a very musty smell to it. Also, the coffee pot was filled with old coffee-apparently they forgot to clean it prior to our arrival. Otherwise a great stay!

Private, great spot

Came here for a birthday getaway filled with hiking, and great restaurants! It rained the entire time, but this beautiful cottage was so relaxing, with the windows overlooking the private backyard, we simply sat and read and watched the rain roll by. Lots of room, spacious bedrooms. Great for a family.

Sharon Cottage

The cottage was very cozy, clean and quiet. Perfect for sleeping and afternoon naps. Amazing hikes nearby with spectacular views. The property is gorgeous with walks out the front door on classic New England country roads. All in all we hope to return in the summer to go to the lake and find more hikes.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
What I liked about this property was how easy it was to book and check in, the absolutely majestic location with all of the beautiful flora surrounding the property and the quiet. The house itself is very open with many big windows in the kitchen and living room areas so you can bask at nature while cooking or relaxing. I simply love this place. Everything was clean and comfortable. Slept like a baby in the awesome bed. Finally, the host was responsive and available if I needed him. Definitely recommend this place one of the best I’ve stayed at over the past 8 years! Dan

Great getaway

The house was neat and clean and the property is absolutely beautiful. We really enjoyed exploring the area. Sharon is a lovely town. Our host greeted us upon arrival and was available if we had any questions. He even brought our dog a bag of treats. Definitely dog friendly, with lots of room for your pooch to roam. We look forward to returning.

Joyful Solitude

If you are looking for a quiet, beautiful place to restore your sanity, look no further. Me and my dog (who hates fireworks) came up here for the July 4th weekend and found an incredible place to hideaway. The grounds are perfectly maintained and we enjoyed long walks around the property, sitting on a porch and listening to the birds and murmur of the wind in the trees.
