Hotels & Accommodation near The Glass House

Room was comfortable and clean.

This quaint and charming New England home was very cozy and inviting for our Thanksgiving holiday. It was mostly well stocked with everything we needed (except shampoo and a blow dryer). It would have been helpful to have the light switches labeled because there were so many all over the house and some cleaning supplies and a hand vacuum to tidy up and keep the dust down). Having all hardwood floors is always nice. Sometimes the bedrooms got very chilly in the night because of the programming of the thermostat but we managed and I would have like a little more comfortable seating in the kitchen area. The dining room was lovely for our dinners and there was plenty of room. I am used to rentals without any personal belongings or photographs, etc. but it gave the house a lived in feel, which is a personal preference so if you don’t like that it may be helpful information. Also some of the furniture is quite fragile because it is antique and needs to be handled with care and there was one dining chair with a broken leg that fortunately no one sat in before discovering. The security with motion detection was helpful for knowing when someone was arriving because you can’t see the parking area near the front door from the kitchen downstairs. The layout of the house is interesting and I would not recommend for anyone who has trouble with stairs because they are unavoidable. The beds and linens were comfortable and more than adequate. it was a lovely place to call home for.

Pre-stay communication was excellent, with our host contacting me with suggestions for outings (I asked). Our host met us, gave us a tour of the property - not just the living space but the grounds, too. The house is cozy, well thought out and has small touches like a deck of cards (in case you have a couple of minutes of downtime), a beautiful tea set with a variety of delicious teas to use. The house is thoughtfully decorated, the couch and bed are comfortable and there is plenty of space for two people. We had a wonderful weekend getaway and we look forward to future opportunities to visit.
