The 1780 Suite

Join us for a step back in time at our unique bucolic property. Set on a scenic road, the post and beam farmhouse was built in 1780 and has been restored and updated by two generations of architects in the family. Guests have a private entrance and wind their way up the period staircase to the second-floor suite with two bedrooms, a sitting room, a breakfast space, and a bathroom. Enjoy your morning coffee outside on the Adirondack chairs as you contemplate the charms of country living. The 800+ sq ft suite occupies the entire second floor of our home. Guests will enjoy the original wide plank chestnut floorboards and low ceilings (6'2") that provide a truly authentic 18th-century experience. The traditional 6/6 windows provide plenty of light and air allowing the myriad of country sounds to greet you as you awake each morning and allow you a restful sleep each night. The surrounding fields and woods provide opportunities for vigorous hikes for exercise or meditative walks for relaxation. Parking is available on the property. Guests can walk the scenic roads. Seasonal XC skiing is a great way to tour the property. Meadowbrook Woods is a half mile down the road. Cormier Woods and Mendon Town Forest are both within a 5-minute drive and are favorites of the hosts for hiking and snow-shoeing. We look forward to interacting with guests if they are so inclined but the space is private if that is their choice. Our house is on a designated scenic road in rural Uxbridge just minutes from Rte 146 with easy access to Providence and Worcester. Twenty-one acres of fields and woods surround the house creating an atmosphere of peace and tranquility. The 1780 Suite is conveniently located about a mile outside of town. Although there is no public transportation, all amenities are easily accessible by car. The property is minutes from Rte 146 and 25 minutes from both Worcester and Providence. Boston is less than an hour by car and the commuter rail is 25 minutes away. The suite is rented as a whole and is booked by guests traveling together. The house does not have central AC. Window units are inserted in the suite during the summer months. Pets: The hosts have three golden retrievers who are extremely friendly. A mostly outdoor cat has been known to come inside occasionally. None of the hosts’ pets are allowed in the suite at any time. Your pet(s) will be considered on a case-by-case basis in order to "keep the peace" among them all. Due to the nature of the period staircase, we regret that we cannot accommodate guests with significant mobility challenges. Only fully vaccinated guests are accepted at this time. Adults 21 and older, please. Minors travelling with their parent(s)/guardian(s) are welcome.
