Short but sweet
We chose this space for its close proximity to Longwood Gardens. We enjoy staying late for the Christmas light but don’t enjoy our long ride home in the dark. We got our two Yorkies settled into their crate at the barn before going to the gardens. We enjoyed our evening. Our overnight stay was peaceful. The barn was clean and comfortable. Fit our needs perfectly.

Great place and location
This was a very interesting property... they did a great job of converting an old barn into a nice living space. There is plenty of room for 2 guests with a beautiful kitchen, nice yard and quiet bedroom... located somewhat surprisingly adjacent to a fairly new townhouse development.
Just a couple of minor nits... the kitchen and TV room seating options were very limited. The kitchen dining area just had a tiny table that was barely enough for a couple of plates and coffee cups. The kitchen would be a good place to hang out if there were a better table and chairs.
And the TV room only had an awkward overly soft sectional sofa that was impossible to just sit on... or get up out of. For us, this space would have been more comfortable with a standard sofa and a couple of plush chairs.
And the refrigerator seems to be on its last legs making a steady droning sound like a loud motorboat about 1/2 of the time depending on what cycle the compressor is on, I suppose. Very annoying.
But overall this is a great place to stay in an area with many attractions and good restaurants. We may well go back again in the future.

Outstanding experience
We absolutely loved the setting and the unique features of your property.

It was spacious , right and perfect if you have a pet that can take advantage of the large completely fenced in yard.
