- "Christine was very helpful and thoughtful!" - "Three grown men who do a yearly "marathon walk," stayed at the fantastic property. Everything, heating, plumbing, electricity, TV etc. was in perfect working order at this immaculate residence. The location could not have been better for our activities. Beautiful trails nearby, easy walks to excellent dining locations or short drives. Host's communications were outstanding" - "The Potager Farm townhouse was perfect for our short 3-night stay. Very cozy and comfortable and the town of Groton is charming. Christine was very accommodating and communicative. Would definitely recommend "

- "Beautiful, modern, welcoming guest house in a lovely area! The host, Fiona, is kind and thoughtful, and she has anticipated everything that a guest might need. The house itself is incredibly comfortable and well equipped, and I would have loved to stay longer. My dogs loved exploring the fun trails around the property. I’d love to return!" - "This was an absolutely beautiful house with all the modern touches! The view was incredible, and the garden had been landscaped with native plants, so our mornings having coffee on the porch were spent looking at the various birds and butterflys enjoying the garden. It was also a very welcome surprise to see the fireflies at night! This was a wonderful place to stay, and I look forward to booking it again in the future!"

Our cozy, family friendly and completely remodeled lake house enjoys modern conveniences with private lake access and quick access to Boston (only 45 mins!). The vacation getaway is located on Lost Lake in beautiful Groton, MA bordering serene conservation land on 2 sides and facing a small private beach with dock. The location offers a balance of natural beauty with a convenience to amenities allowing you to get away from the fast paced city life but return at your leisure!

Inside: Our home was completely remodeled in 2017 and is essentially a new house with new kitchen appliances, revamped electrical/plumbing system, new flooring throughout and updated bathroom. The house was designed to maximize a smaller footprint with an open concept, cathedral ceiling, smaller bedrooms and easy access to the outdoors. Wall to wall windows provide relaxing lake views and the kitchen faces conservation land with a pretty cove teeming with wildlife.

While smaller, the house encourages family and friend interaction as well as spending time enjoying the outdoors. This is not the place to come if everyone wants to go in a separate room to watch TV or play on an iPad! The home is equipped with high speed WiFi and a 55” flat screen TV to enjoy movies, sports or that favorite TV show. The master bedroom has new French doors opening up to the living room offering lake views (the perfect way to wake up). Play & relax in the lake, then cook in a modern kitchen or grill on the deck.

Outside: There is a nice beach at the water's edge where you can listen to the waves beating against the sand and rocks and watch ducks, geese and swans (last year we had a family frequent the dock). There are two fire pits: one on the private sandy beach and the other closer to the home and woods. Up above at the house, is a new deck overlooking the lake where you can watch boats on weekends in the summer and ice fishing in the winter. It is generally peaceful but we do have respectful neighbors on both sides as you face the lake (one of which is rarely there but for an occasional weekend drop by in the summer and almost never spends the nights). While the natural beauty of the location is undeniable, please understand that this is not a wilderness retreat - there are often boats on the lake and neighbors enjoying the lake - especially on summer weekends.

The house is designed for outdoor living so while it can accommodate 6 guests; it is more comfortably suited to a family of 4-5. It is a two bedroom with a brand new comfortable pull out couch which sleeps two. Welcoming day visitors is fine but we require that parties of ten or more (total) be requested / approved in advance.

Late Checkout Option - we understand weekends are short and many times guests want to stay all day Sunday but not overnight. If our booking schedule permits, we offer a late checkout option for those who would like to extend their checkout time from 11 am to 7 pm on the last day of their stay. The rate is 50% of the full-day rate for that particular day.

While we love our 4-legged family members, unfortunately due to ensuring our home is suitable for all with allergies, we don't allow any pets.

There is no smoking inside the home under any circumstances.

Guests must recognize that the water is a hazard. Guests must assume all responsibility for their personal safety when swimming and boating. State law requires the use of personal flotation devices. We require all guests to sign a Liability Waiver before arriving.

- "As a family of three, including a toddler, we had a wonderful week at this home. A crib and gate on the deck made the house especially child-friendly. The homeowners were kind and responsive when we had questions, and the home itself is small but really comfortable, clearly with a recent remodel. We loved the deck and the view of the lake from the living area & main bedroom. The small private beach is sandy with clear water. Our little one loved all the little fishies swimming around her legs and watching people speed by on boats. We’d be happy to stay again!"

Gorgeous water views from all 3 floors.
Master Bedroom Suite is on the first floor along with the kitchen and washer dryer.
Lower Floor rec room walks out to a deck the beach and the lake.
the Lake is spring fed, clean and perfect for fishing & boating.

- "This rental is really a former residence, and has many nice touches and amenities to match. It easily accommodated my wife and I, and our 2 married sons and their wives, as we attended a wedding slightly west of there. On Sun, the day after the wedding, we hosted 3 of my wife's niece and nephews and their 6 little girls, age 2 to 8. They really enjoyed hours in the lake with all the inflatable toys. Had they been older, I'm sure they would have loved the kayaks. If we get back here, we will certainly try to rent this house again. Jim"

Birch and Stone is a newly renovated 1838 Farmhouse nestled in Groton, Massachusetts. Located on the same property as The Herb Lyceum and The Gilson Family Farm, this house is surrounded by four acres of fragrant herb gardens, greenhouses, and flowering trees.

- "Family Christmas gathering." - "Wonderful stay !!!!! Just perfect !!!" - "We only stayed one night to attend a wedding in Groton but would have loved to linger at this delightful historic home. Centrally located and convenient. Stocked with everything you need and so many extra touches that made it special. Stocked coffee and tea bar; seating in so many places on the first floor to make conversation easy; welcome book with helpful info and easy to locate Wi-Fi password; notable historic notes and artwork. Nod to the transcendental history of the region. Welcoming and responsive host. All around perfection."

Historic house built in 1890's as a summer retreat an hour from Boston. Two decks, pool and grounds provide secluded and peaceful setting for families and friends to gather. Full kitchen, sleeps 6 people comfortably. Minutes from historic Harvard town center.
