Quaint but…
This is a beautiful cottage. Clean. Perfect location. Dunkin Donuts for coffee or a night time stroll for ice cream. Train station across the street. Really. It’s a beautiful place. However, the internet connection is very, very poor. It’s not possible to do work because the internet does not stay connected. The TV remotes do not change the channels on the TV. If you only need a great place to stay for pleasure or campus visit, then it’s a great stay. If you need internet, I would not recommend it. Otherwise, beautiful.

Would not recommend
The property calls itsself a work study suite but there was no WiFi (despite being given a non existent network), and the host was completely unresponsive outside of a few automated messages. Vrbo customer service was also completely unhelpful and useless.

I’d stay again and Russ was great!
This was a pleasant stay and Russ was exceptional on communication and even getting coffee filters to me for the next morning! The air conditioner blowing right over the bed was loud for me and there’s only a sliver of kitchen counter space for meal prep, but the water tasted good and stove worked well - I had what I needed. I loved the location for walking in nature!
