Great place for large family
Review Submitted: June 20, 2008
Date of Stay: March 2008
We stayed here in March during the Easter holiday with extended family. There were 25 of us (6 couples and and 13 kids ages 3-19, with most being 10 and older) and we had PLENTY of space. It was nice having 3 levels where different groups could be doing their own thing, i.e. pool table on one level, ping pong on another, playing cards on another, just hanging out, etc. The 4th level loft area could accomodate a few people also. There were sofas on all levels. The view of the bay from the 3rd (main living area) and the loft was really nice. It was too cold when we were there to enjoy sitting out on the decks, but am sure it'd be great in nice weather. The kitchen was well stocked. There are 2 refridgerators which is good for large groups. The home was very clean and comfortable. As far as outdoors go, some braved the cold weather and enjoyed the hottub by the pool. The bay/beach area is a very short walk away. It is not a large beach area, but doesn't probably need to be since this is not a tourist area. The home is in a quiet residential area. It appeared some were vacation homes and others were permanent residents. The house is the largest one there. The road is a large loop which was nice for taking a walk. There would be some nice roads to ride bikes on in the area, but we didn't bring any since we were there only a few days. You need to drive to Cambridge for most shopping, eating out, etc. There wasn't alot going on in March, but that was fine with us. I don't know what the area would be like in the summer. The owners were very hospitable and accomodating. Cathy even offered to pick up a prescription at a pharmacy for us, but fortunately we didn't need meds after all. There were a couple VERY minor things that needed attention, but wasn't anything that interfered with our stay. I just informed Cathy of it when we left. Although we were not required to wash linens, we did do some of them, just because there were so many of us. We try to help out when we go away if we have the chance. Everyone really enjoyed staying here and would go again. I act as the "travel coordinator" at times for the family and everyone said I did a good job with finding this. It is a very family-friendly home.
