Perfect Family Vacation Spot!

Guest: Linda & family (CT & FL)
Date of Stay: 08/27/11 Review Submitted: 09/05/11

My family and I just returned from a week at the lake house in Sharon, and I have nothing but positive things to say about this home! We spent a week with 5 adults and 2 children and we were never cramped. With 3 bedrooms for the adults and the two rooms in the back of the house that include futons, we all had plenty of space to spread out. Our first two days spent in the house were during Hurricane Irene, so we lost power for about 24 hours. With all of the windows on the home, we found we did not need the air conditioning and were able to stay cool without it. We were hoping for more flashlights and candles in the home, as we brought one of our own, but had to ask the event center at the top of the hill to loan us some candles for light. The kitchen is beautifully remodeled with stainless steel gas appliances and plenty of cabinet space. It's also very well stocked with pots, pans, tupperware, cookware, silverware and spices. The glassware is a little light and should be replaced to include wine glasses and larger cups/glasses that are in better condition than the plastic that is currently in place. The beds are very comfortable and there are plenty of extra blankets and pillows. We also had no shortage of towels, as the linen closet is chocked full! The small beach area across the street from the home makes for great viewing of the sunsets... Roberta and Jerry are very helpful and stayed in contact with us the entire vacation to make sure we had everything we needed. We would definitely return to this home for future family vacations! The location is perfect for a quick 30 minute train ride into Boston's South Station. It's also a 15 minute drive to Gillette Stadium, which makes the home very convenient for all activities. We recommend purchasing the "Go Boston" cards for attractions in the area. It does save money on admission to the attractions who participate, and is a great way to experience all that Boston has to offer! Also recommended is the "Witch City Segway" tour in Salem, Boston Aquarium and the Barking Crab restaurant in downtown Boston. Out of all the homes we have rented on this site, this was one of the best! What a great week!

Great Find

We had a wonderful stay in this home in Late June 2011. It "lives" even bigger than it "looks" and our family of 7 was very comfortable. Everything is new and works, and is very clean. Location is great for going to Boston or the Cape or Providence. The lake is very clean with a nice town beach. Nice yard for the kids to run around. Owners are very kind and accomodating. We moved away from Boston area several years ago, and will rent this house again when visiting with family in future.

Wow, what a view!

We had a great time in this spacious home! There was enough room for everyone and even more places to sleep! It was great that the kids (3 under 8 yrs old) had their space to play and the adults had their own space to relax in peace. The view is incredible, the kitchen it top notch, the house has a ton of space and the view is so relaxing. We can't wait to return!

Spacious Quality Home in a Superb Position

On arriving we met the owners who were so charming and helpful. This was a nice touch as you never normally get to see whose house you are staying in. The home is just quality from the moment you enter the door. It is so spacious with an enormous beautiful kitchen. The lakeside position is idylic and the sunsets take some beating! You can sit on the small waterfront in privacy admiring the view and tranquility or stroll around the corner onto the large beachfront and go for a swim (the owners even provide you with a car park pass). Sharon is a lovely town with plenty to do in the area and not too far from Boston. Treat youself and stay at this property and you will not be dissapointed. The owners really want you to enjoy yourselves and we certainly did - we didn't want to leave!

Sharon Lake House - A Dream!

This is a beautiful lake house with all the amenities of home. It is like staying in a deluxe suite at your favorite hotel, only better! It has a large, open floor plan, with a gorgeous kitchen and large, inviting family room. Shiny, luxurious hardwood floors throughout the home. Bedroom, after bedroom, after bedroom, and everything is just beautiful! Central air, ceiling fans, recessed lighting - every detail, perfect! A stacked washer and dryer - nothing has been missed! Our family of 9 thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Lots to do in the area, including mornings and afternoons at the lake, some wonderful playgrounds for the kids, a free petting zoo and park in nearby N. Attleboro and a local Cineplex with matinee pricing. We especially enjoyed an evening concert at the beach! Boston and the surrounding towns have so much to offer, you'll have trouble choosing! Share some amazing meals together, rest, relax, and enjoy the most beautiful sunsets you have ever seen! A nearby banquet facility treats you to at least a few brides during your stay who walk right past your door to take advantage of a "sunset shot" for their wedding album. Beautiful! The owners are lovely and so considerate of every detail of your stay. This location is a definite "10" - you'll love it!

pampered, rested & de-stressed!

My wife and 2 small boys contacted the owner's under difficult circumstances & were treated with the greatest of hospitality. The spacious living, dining and kitchen area was exactly the breathing room we needed after spending time in a cramped hotel room. The newly refinished interior was beautiful from hardwood floors to granite countertops. My wife particularly loved the master bedroom's beautifully decorated shower. The gas fireplace was wonderful on those chilly nights after the kids were asleep. We loved the sunsets over the lake viewed from 3 huge bay windows. Every evening it seemed the lake was different and we were viewing again for the first time. We arrived stressed and left refreshed by the beauty of the lake & the spacious & elegant interior. I highly recommend this tucked away vacation rental as a haven for anyone's business or sightseeing adventures in the Boston area especially with small children.
