Though "check in time" was 3 PM. We arrived at the destination a few hours earlier and without hesitation the house owner was able to admit us and checked us in. We were greatful as we could rest our weary and tired bodies.
The location turned out to be an excellent headquarters as we could drive to all the different sites of interest. On a couple of early morning awakenings, we were treated to some wild life (wild turkey, fox, squirrels). There were many places to hike and we were able to see the city of Boston from afar.
The accommodations were perfect for us 6, comfortable with a full kitchen, full size bedrooms, ceiling fans, AC, laundry room, TV; basically a "home away from home."
Would certainly recommend it without hesitation.
