We spent Christmas at this cute cottage that was decorated so nicely. Our son and his family live in Gardner. When we arrived we walked in to hear Christmas music playing, we saw a beautifully decorated Christmas tree, and we had the cutest decorated Christmas cookies. We also had yummy, huge muffins along with softened butter on the kitchen counter. The cottage was cleaner than any hotel or VRBO we have ever stayed at. The towels were SO soft and there were plenty! It was cold weather and the heater worked so well, we had to keep it in the 60's. We had television in the LR and bedroom. There were plenty of streaming choices available. The bed was very clean, soft, with plenty of pillows. Dave contacted us the day of arrival with information we needed to get in. I had questions that he promptly answered back while we were traveling. Every amenity has been thought of and provided. We will definitely return on future visits to the area. It's way better than any hotel in Gardner....by far!
