2d Stay Here and Hope for More!

Gary does a great job making sure this house is CLEAN, and well-stocked! Not "in town", but not far, either - and so very, very quiet! Seeing the deer was fun, too. The grounds are also kept neat and nice, with lovely flowers and a forest for the back yard. Definitely hope to come back here again!

Girls weekend

I planned a girls weekend in and around Bedford. The house was 15-20 minutes away. Everything was just a described and better. It was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed coffee on the back deck in the morning and the fire pit at night. The owner was friendly and helpful, he provided easy instructions for entering the house and connecting to the WiFi. And he was quick to respond to any questions I had . We will be back. Thank you, Gary, for sharing “Grandma’s house” with us.

Cozy and welcoming

Great place-really cozy and super clean! All you need to relax and unwind after a day of exploring. There's even a replica antique wooden record player/stereo to enjoy some vintage tunes. Very close to a lot of attractions, yet the home is in a quiet, secluded area. Would love to stay again.

Perfect Getaway

We enjoyed our stay at Grandma's House! It was a quiet, secluded setting and made for a perfect getaway. Gary was a wonderful host. He even stopped by to make sure we had everything we needed. Hope to come back again to enjoy the firepit.
