Home in the woods

Nice walks in both directions. Great for exploring. Old primitive mills and stone structures in the area. Birds, woodpeckers, nut hatches, finches, tufted titmouse, sparrows, owls and hawks, doves.

Entire home available. The layout is classic saltbox mixed with contemporary. The back living room is spacious with great views out side. The bedroom with the king bed is open and has a fireplace. The bedroom with the king bed is not enclosed, purposely designed open with the fireplace. It is three bedrooms, one is with a king, one with a queen and one with a twin size bed.

Owner will use the separate building on the property for stays 3 days or more.

Screen porch away from the bugs and nice to sit outside. Lanterns provided.

A perfect retreat in the woods - secluded, yet close enough by car to everything you need. Matt is easy to work with and a great communicator. We love it here and cannot wait to come back!

Quiet Retreat
The house was clean (could use additional dusting) and located in a quiet neighborhood. Enjoyed our 3 night stay. The beds were comfortable. There was plenty of room for the 4 of us. I would've liked instructions for the light switches. There were so many... Other than that, the owner was quite responsive to our emails. Definitely would stay again if it's available.

Home away from home
Enchanting and eclectic. Well loved home with the children's highth recorded on the kitchen wall. Light in every room during the day and dark as a cave at night. If you want seclusion this is the place. Watch the stars and view the animals. Looking forward to a summer rental. 5 stars

There’s a cottage in the woods
This charming New England country home is located on a wooded lot filled with interesting wildlife. You can sit in the great room and watch birds, chipmunks, squirrels and bunnies forage for food. We imagine it would be stunning in October when the leaves change color for autumn. The property is very private and nights are quiet. There’s plenty of room for everyone and a separate play area with toys for children. The house is furnished with nice antiques and memorabilia that you will find interesting. Also, there’s a laundry area with newer Samsung appliances and a spacious countertop across the hallway for sorting/folding your clean clothes. Matt was great to work with and he’s a wonderful host.

Awesome house in the country
This house sits in a beautiful setting, along a historic country road. The area is quiet and picturesque, with lots of birds and wildlife. The house itself is large and comfortable. The living room is huge, with a big tv. The kitchen is fully equipped, and the great room is perfect for dinners and other gatherings. The beds are super comforable. The screen porch is an extra bonus. I've stayed here several times and plan to stay again. Matt is a very responsive host. I highly recommend this house. A+++.

A GEM
My wife and I were in the area for a wedding so we rented this house for us two and two dogs. It could not have been better. Spacious, quiet and spotlessly clean we very much enjoyed our stay. We won't wait for another wedding to go back.

Comfortable and warm
The large farmhouse was perfect for our holiday Thanksgiving vacation. Comfortable, warm and everything we needed was available- especially in the kitchen! Quiet, rural but close enough to the quaint town of Monson. Wonderful experience.

Comfortable Home, Quiet Location
We stayed at Matt's home during a renovation of our own home. Matt was easy to work with, very responsive and allowed us to bring our pets. The house was very comfortable with plenty of room to spread out. We loved the living/tv room that looked out at the woods in the back yard. The neighborhood was quiet but close to stores and activities. We took our dog on daily walks at Fountain Park and discovered delicious baked goods and ice cream at Rice's Fruit Farm (both nearby in Wilbraham). A very enjoyable visit - thanks Matt!

No children
VRBO is renters “home away from home.” Our youngster curious and inquisitive. Numerous personal artifacts are not cleared from the property. He easily located a key to a locked box among all of the games and childrens area. Privatized adult photographs should not be stored in a VRBO rental. Period. He was “playing” in the childrens area and located the locked box. I’m sorry this happened. The property is dated, ripped screens in entry area, gas grill does not work.

Great spot
My husband and I rented Matt's house for a long stay. It's a great place with plenty of room. The location is excellent and quiet but not to far away from shopping necessities. Nice hiking trail behind the house. We enjoyed the fireplace and master bedroom bed. Great mattress and slept like babies. Matt is very nice, welcoming and great host.

Peaceful
Our trip included our 2 dogs and we were looking for a place that an occasional bark would not be a bother. We stayed at Matt's place in November and the grounds were tidy. Inside the house the floors, bathrooms and kitchen were clean. He returned messages within 30 minutes. Overall, we had a nice stay.
