About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Large relaxing house in 25 acres of private woods with lake access.

Spend a slow summer day walking the trails in the private forest, playing in the lake, and sipping ice tea on the deck. Or snowshoe for miles on the nearby trails and return to a warm fire and cocoa.
The house is not ADA compliant, but is designed to be friendly to guests with limited mobility. There is a first floor bedroom with a full size bed, near a bathroom with a low lipped shower with an integral marble bench.
The house is not directly on the lake. To access the lake you walk about 15 minutes on a forest path.

This was a great place to be with 5 grandchildren and their 4 parents. Space enough to hang out inside, and a nice rural location with shopping very close by. Lots of dishware available and supplies to make cooking there easy. We were cautious about venturing into the fields because of the tick situation, but I think if people stick to the paths to the lake they should be ok. All in all 95% positive!!

Nice for Family Gather

This was a nice place for my family to gather. Plenty of room for us to all be inside and plenty of space outside for the young ones to run around. Very nice kitchen and bathrooms. Clean and comfortable. Beds were comfortable, but the bedding could use a bit of an upgrade. Over all a nice place to stay.

We stayed at Jim's property during a weekend of disc golf at Maple Hill. Jim was very accommodating ahead of our trip and the property was clean and tidy upon arrival. If you are planning a trip to play Maple Hill and surrounding courses this property is the place to stay. Close proximity to a number of courses. We will certainly be back!

Weekend stay in Spencer, MA

My friends and I were thrilled with this home in Spencer. It was obvious that Jim, our host, and his family put a lot thought and work into making it feel welcoming and comfortable. We very much appreciated its cleanliness, spaciousness and the way everything was labeled to facilitate finding items that we might need in the kitchen and other areas. It was truly wonderful and we look forward to returning next year.

Spencer Country Inn Wedding

Jim’s home was the perfect resting place & backdrop to my eldest sons wedding! The home provided space for all my immediate family members who traveled from Hawaii, Oregon, Florida, Vermont & New Hampshire. It’s was a quiet and peaceful retreat from all the hustle & bustle of a larger than life wedding weekend. The home has a large and well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and beautiful surroundings! We would def stay here again—thank you Jim for sharing this wonderful space with us!
