This historic,restored, 1830 farm house in the heart of New England embraced us and offered us all the comforts of home, as we explored Massachusetts foilage at its peak.
the charming cottage is beautifully decorated with furnishings that speak to the era of another time yet it is equipped with chic modern touches like Crate and Barrel stoneware designer dishes, Garnet towels and linens, large Rainshower head, full size fridge, vintage electric stove, stocked pantry and so many luxuery touches that made us feels so special. John and Scott have decorated with rustic yet exquisitely elegant style.
The numerous windows in each room provide a breathtaking view of the manicured lawns, carriage house,gardens,orchards,woods, stone walls, birdhouses and roses to name a few. We saw a flock of bluebirds dancing among the falling leaves. I curled up in the loft nook and read passages from Robert Frost's Collections of Poems, Prose, and Plays--a book borrowed from our Hosts' library shelf.
John and Scott were personable, friendly, warm, informative and accomodating. Having arrived late, John had taken the time to call a few of the restaurants to let us know which would be opened upon our arrival. As locals, they know the history of their farm and the lovely town of Ashburnham and they obviously have great pride in both.
My husband and I enjoyed this Heavenly Haven so much it was difficult to depart from the cottage and to leave our new Hosts friends.
Our week at Elijah Haven Homeplace was physically and spiritually renewing. The experience was magnificent and we hope to return again. Thank you so much John and Scott for opening your home to us!
