The location, view, and amenities here exceeded our expectations (which were pretty high, based on the property description).
Sally (the host) is very friendly, and made it know through our preferred communication (text) that she was available to answer any questions, and responded quickly when contacted. That said, we never felt their presence right next door imposed on our privacy in any way. At one point a thunderstorm caused the lights to flash, and she put our minds at ease by immediately letting us know there was a generator that would kick on automatically should the power go out.
When we met with Sally toward the end of our visit, she shared the fascinating history of the house, which has been in her family for a long time. The photos around the house made a bit more sense after hearing the stories - fun stuff!
After staying at the Wayside Inn in Sudbury, Ma, we wondered if there were any 'hidden compartments' in the house, where people might leave notes for future visitors - kind of a fun adventure. I'll leave it at that for now, with a wink to Sally...
Thank you for everything! It was the perfect place to contemplate memories of our mother, who lived in the Cundy's Harbor neighborhood for 35 years.
