Shrine pictures
After running about making various offerings to Hermes, I spent the rest of the morning redoing my Hermes shrine, and my Loki and Sigyn shrine.

Spending the Morning with Hermes
I woke up not in pain this morning (a rarity in winter) and decided to spend the day cleaning my Hermes shrine and my Loki shrine. They are overdue for it. First though, I decided to leave offerings for Hermes in a local park. It had come up for me some time ago that I should leave a random offering to Him in a park, and I'd inadvertently put off dong so.
So that means that after breakfast, I headed to the store to buy the oddest, quirkiest assortment of things for Him. I came out with two shopping bags of games, food, and – I kid you not, an eight ball. (He wanted an eight ball. I said the offerings were quirky). Then I set out. I realized quickly that I wasn't going to be leaving these at one park, but at several.
Putting on some music I associate with Hermes, I first left the majority of the food offerings at the foot of mount Beacon. I venerate the Mountain spirit there, so the offerings were given to both Hermes and the mountain itself. Then I went to one of the local cemeteries. One of the games Hermes had me buy was a set of dominoes. I left that at the top of the cemetery on a bench, with some of the food offerings. He is guide of the dead and in one of the divination systems I know, dominoes represent the bones of the dead. It seemed fitting.
Then I went down to a park abutted by an out of commission train track. He's been coming to me with hobo imagery of late, so I left some of the non-food offerings at the tracks, and more at the park itself. The eight ball got left in a park between my home and the next town over. (I used the eight ball and asked, "is this a good place to leave this offering," nestled in a cleft in some rocks, and the answer "you can rely on it." LOL.). So that's where that offering ended up.
Then I wanted to give flowers to Hygeia, and make an offering to Sigyn so I headed to the flower store. While there, I thought that I could make another offering to Hermes (leaving flowers on a random grave) so I put together a nice bouquet of yarrow and belladonna (it's a really pretty purplish blue color), with some baby's breath and headed over to one of the cemeteries.
I received a couple of omens while coming home upon which I will be pondering long and hard and a gift (no kledones, though I kept an ear open). Now I'm going to take a break for lunch and get on with cleaning those shrines. So far, it's been an awesome morning.
Tending the Bull
The next book in the Starry Bull tradition is now available. This one is on the basics of Dionysian devotion. Check it out. (I got a sneak peak and it's an awesome book).
The Starry Bull tradition is a contemporary expression of Bacchic Orphism with roots in mainland Greece, Crete, Southern Italy, Asia Minor and North Africa. At its heart lies passionate devotion for Dionysos, God of drunkenness, madness, ecstasy and deliverance. Within the pages of Tending the Bull, readers will discover how to pray, tend a shrine, make offerings and a myriad of practices to deepen one's awareness and connection with this powerfully intoxicating and liberating deity. Additionally, author H. Jeremiah Lewis weaves in threads of history, philosophy, cosmology and eschatology so that readers will understand not just how to worship correctly, but why. Although written for adherents of the Starry Bull tradition, especially those who wish to become boukoloi, there's plenty that will appeal to Hellenic polytheists, neopagans and other curious outsiders.
Out now through Createspace and soon available on Amazon.
Blood is Thicker Than Mead
For awhile now, a lot of my social circle has given me flack for my friendship with Joe Bloch, some even insisting that I cut ties with him or they would cut ties with me. In the handful of years that I've known him, I've found him to be reasonable, respectful, a man of virtue and integrity, committed to his Gods and his tradition and though there have been plenty of points on which we disagreed with each other (plenty!!), his character has never been in question and in working through those disagreements, I've come to appreciate his perspective and gained immense respect for the lines that he holds. I have never been prouder to call this man a friend than I am today reading his latest post, in which the AFA put pressure on him to leave because they felt his trans daughter would be viewed as 'bad optics' for the organization.
It is unconscionable to me that this group would put its political ideology above blood and family, which is the fundamental core of any kind of Heathenry. You want family values, this is what true Heathen family values are like. I think he made absolutely the right choice and I think the AFA is going to see what an incredible asset they have lost in this man, who is a scholar, a devotee of the Gods, and a decent father. He represents the values that our traditions need, especially in such trying times.
So I say to all of you who encouraged me to throw him under the bus, to go fuck yourselves. I will stand by this man no matter what (even when we disagree, which we do plenty and will continue to do plenty but not on this issue, not when it comes to family).

Schrödinger's God
A colleague posted this image on facebook and it got me thinking and I'm going to share some of those thoughts with you now. The statement in the image implies that since at some point Loki was bound, He cannot now be an active part of the pantheon. The corollary to that of course calls into question the integrity and veracity of those who claim devotion to Him. That's what this meme is clearly stating.
Loki is a polarizing figure in contemporary Norse and Germanic traditions. Some denominations venerate Him, some don't, some excoriate Him, and some will pour out offerings to Him when Odin is given offerings but only because of a single line from the Lokasenna.(1) They pour them out, but they don't like it. I think it fair to say that no other commonly recognized God evokes such strong feelings (one way or another) as this one. (2)
Assuming however, that because Loki was once bound, that He is always bound, or that in being bound, He loses His capacity to act in our world is a bit problematic from a theological point of view. It makes for nice apologetics for those who detest His veneration and want an excuse to mock those who hold Him dear, but theologically it doesn't quite hold up.
Firstly, to make the assumption described in the photo is to assume that the Gods are bound by substance, corporeality, and temporality in exactly the same way that we as human beings are bound.(3) We know that the Gods are outside of these things because They created them, existing before these substantive things ever were. This is all the more so if Loki and Loðúrr are indeed the same Being. While not all Gods may have been involved in that particular moment of fixing the materiality (and by extension temporality) of the worlds, there are Three Who were: Odin, Vili, and Vé or Odin, Hoenir, and Loðúrr, the latter of Whom I hold with the skalds to be Loki. If temporality then has no hold on Them, in the way that it does for us as human beings, if Their nature as Holy Powers is by necessity different from ours (which I'm going to assume for sake of this discussion it is. If you want a proof, I can play Anselm later), then it follows that Loki, like Schrödinger's Cat can be at once bound and unbound. Time would not be a mitigating factor here.
That is the key to something called 'mythic time.' Perhaps part of Loki is always bound as part of Odin is always hanging on Yggdrasil –but here we veer into the realm of Mystery. He is bound and not bound. Loki devotee Kenaz Filan says, "For me the binding of Loki is one of the greatest sacred Mysteries of our cultus, and Sigyn's loyalty to Her spouse one of the greatest examples of piety the Nine Worlds has ever seen. It's not something to be joked about." (4)
In the Eddas, Snorri, writing as a Christian two centuries after conversion carefully euhemerized the Gods. In other words, he presented the stories he was telling as though the main figure, the Gods, were at one ancient time, people. He stripped the sacred from our tales because he was not Heathen. He was writing a guide for poets who were, having been Christian for two hundred years, forgetting the meaning of the various kennings employed in Norse poetry. He was not a devout man and though we owe him a debt for preserving what he did, it would have been better had we never been exposed to Christianity in the first place. We have fragments of what was once invariably complex and nuanced body of regional practices. Snorri reduced our Gods to human. Why are we so eager to do the same? Mythic time is not our time. The Gods are not people.(5)
Nor are our stories morality plays. So much of medieval Christian literature served as morality plays for the listeners, readers, or viewers. That is not the case with our sacred stories. They were never intended to be taken as a guide to life or to inculcate values.(6) They were intended to teach us something about the Gods. They were keys to the Mysteries of the Gods.
Loki is, whether some Heathens like it or not, a key figure in our cosmology. He is a catalyst – the enemy of entropy. He is a helper to the Gods, essential in acquiring for Them Their primary attributes (Odin's spear, Thor's hammer, Freyr's boat, etc.). If He is indeed, as the skalds maintain, Loðúrr, then He likewise has a powerful cosmological role in re-ifying creation within our mythos again and again and again. He carries the holy, the numinous into our world and along the rainbow bridge to all the worlds, traveling with Thor, Protector of Midgard. Given the strength with which His cultus has grown over the past decade, across denominations, even across religious boundaries, it may be that the question of whether or not He is still bound, is effectively moot. Res ipsa loquitur.
- Lokasenna, stanza 9.
- To the point that some Heathens even question whether or not He is a God. The most common refrain along this line of thinking is "He's nowhere called a God, He's a Jotun!" Actually, for those who need a reference from the surviving skaldic materials, Loki is actually referred as 'Ás' in Gylfaginning, chapter 20. (The cry then goes up from some Heathens, 'well, Snorri didn't mean that!" And thus interpreting out of the material all the inconvenient facts that would make your religion something other than polytheistic Protestantism begins. * sarcasm *) Ás of course, refers to a member of the dominant pantheon of the Norse, the Aesir. We could say that it means 'god' but that's not exactly its primary translation (there are other words in Old Norse that one could use for that). It implies one of the holy Powers, specifically one associated in some way with the Aesir, that tribe of Gods responsible for ordering the cosmos.
Of course the question of the difference between a Jotun and a God is a curious one. The Jotnar were the primal divine race. Until the moment Odin and His brothers decided to create the worlds, the beings that sprang from Ymir's body were Jotnar. At no point in the surviving creation story is there a single moment where suddenly some of them are transformed from Jotun to Ás'…unless it be the moment that Odin and His brothers (of Whom Loki may be one – more on that in a moment) decided to slaughter Their ancient kinsman Ymir to create the worlds. That is the only defining period in the creation epic where differentiation occurs. Suddenly these three Gods Odin (frenzy), Vili (conscious will or desire) and Vé (the numinous, the holy) decide to act in a way that transforms everything that comes after. If 'Aesir' refers specifically to a clan of Powers focused in some way on creating and maintaining cosmic order (and there's enough in the surviving myths that scholars like Dumezil certainly thought so), then membership into this clan might be somewhat mutable (all Aesir having begun as Jotnar perhaps?) and we likewise know that there are other clans of Gods like the Vanir, Whose cosmological focus is different. One wonders at the mutability of membership in these divine clans.
In the creation story, Vili and Vé are sometimes called Hoenir and Loðúrr. The identification of Loki with Loðúrr is not universally accepted but there is skaldic evidence. As Dagulf Loptson notes in his article here:
Völuspá 18
Þrymlur I-III 21
"The identification of Loki as Loðúrr is one that has been highly debated, though in reality becomes perfectly blatant if one reads the Icelandic rímr, which are epic ballads from the 14th century. One of these ballads, Þrymlur (which was written roughly between CE 1300-1400) follows the same basic storyline as Þrymskviða. Both stories are an account of how Þórr's hammer Mjöllnir was stolen by the giant Þrymr, who demands Freyja as his bride in exchange for it. Þórr is then persuaded to disguise himself as Freyja in order to reclaim his hammer, and Loki accompanies him disguised as his bridesmaid. In the Þrymlur account of the story, Loki is directly referred to by Þrymr as "Lóður" when he comes to visit him."
- It is also to assume that we possess the full canon of sacred stories. We know that we do not. We likewise know that the stories we do possess were, to one degree or another, Christianized. This has been an ongoing problem within Heathenry. Because most of us grow up in religions bound by "scripture," I think there's an instinctive desire to have the same type of written authority and written legitimacy in our polytheisms. It doesn't work that way though and for our ancestors never worked that way. One may use the lore to provide something of a scaffolding for one's practice, to keep one from going off the rails (see here or here) but to assign it the authority of the Bible or Koran is stupid, anachronistic, and ultimately deleterious to the traditions. It is a source of information, information that must be carefully picked apart and analyzed. It is not the word of the Gods.
- We don't, I think, see the Gods interfering with and specifically undoing the work of another God. That would be a violation of Their sphere of influence, a breach of cosmic order. The question may be thus raised of how much of Loki's power to act is bound when He undergoes this ordeal, as well as for how long. In Greek mythos we have one story of Apollo violating cosmic order to avenge His son. He is banished and has to serve a mortal for a specific period of time. The banishment and service is temporary however which raises the question of the imbalance that might be created by permanently binding a God's power, as well as the question of whether or not such a thing is even possible for the Gods to do.
- To reify Snorri is the equivalent of treating some fanfiction on tumblr authored by someone who can't tell the difference between a marvel character and a Norse God as scripture; or let me correct that, perhaps it's better to say the equivalent of treating Neil Gaiman's "American Gods" as scripture since Snorri did , unlike most on tumblr, have talent.
- Almost without exception in polytheistic cultures that role was taken by philosophy. We don't know what type of philosophies the Northlands would have developed, had they been left unmolested by Christianity. But we do have the examples of Greece and Rome, as well as the Celts with their Druidic class, not to mention Indian traditions, that point to a differentiation between religion which is about relating to the Gods, and wisdom traditions like philosophy which are about developing oneself as decent human beings. There's no reason to think that the Norse, amongst all the extant IE traditions, would have differed in this regard.

Pressure groups fact sheet
Pluralism a theory which suggests that political power in a society does not rest simply with the electorate, nor
with the governing elite, but is distributed amongst a number of groups representing widely different interests
within society
Elitism a theory which suggests that political power in a society rests with a small group who gain power
through wealth, family status or intellectual superiority
A pressure group has the purpose of advancing their own interests or to promote a cause they believe in
Types of pressure groups
A pressure group is an organised interest group in which members hold similar beliefs and actively pursue to
influence government, pressure groups in the US aim to seek influence on all or some branches of government.
Pressure groups can be categorised into two broad categories:
Institutional pressure groups Membership pressure groups
Seek to represent organisations and groups Aim to represent individual Americans rather than
organisations and groups
Business/trade groups such as the US
Single issue groups NRA MADD
chamber of Commerce which represents
Ideological groups American Conservative Union,

as they conduct research, write reports, write articles
Intergovernmental groups National

Governors' Conference
publish journals and books, organise conferences and
give evidence to congressional committees.
Functions of pressure groups
5 basic functions:
1. Representative function US citizens can have their views represented their grievances articulated. The
Senator and Representative in a person's area does not have the capability of representing everyone's
views in all levels of government (state, federal and government) so pressure groups allow for all people in
society to have a group to represent them.
2. Aid political participation increase political participation between elections and allows people to participate
in specific policy areas such as pro-guns, anti-abortion, pro-environmentalist etc

It's not all the time that you realize that you have to buy a replacement Coolant & Radiator Hose for your car or truck. While it may not be difficult to locate replacement parts for Dodge vehicles, these days only the highest quality are required to repair your automobile. Dodge automobile enthusiasts have become used to a certain level of dependability when driving their B-2 around town. The vehicle in your driveway symbolizes the best in class when it comes to all the vehicles these days.
The engineers that designed the motor in your vehicle have determined an optimal operating temperature. That's why your Dodge B-2 engine has a system of radiator and coolant hoses connecting its vital cooling components. The radiator hoses under your hood connect the water pump and engine block to the radiator core, while other coolant hoses send the ethylene glycol mixture through the thermostat, return the coolant to the expansion tank, or by-pass the heater hose flange. If a Dodge B-2 radiator or coolant hose develops a leak, then the motor will not be able to cool itself and the temperature will increase; leading to engine failure.
Buy all the car parts you will ever need from carpartsdiscount.com and realize incredible savings on all your upcoming repairs.

Karl will design helicopters
The designer has been tapped by Augusta Westland. Karl Lagerfeld will design both the interior and the exterior of the sophisticated helicopters
Karl Lagerfeld's creative touch will soon be heading to the skies. Helicopter manufacturer AgustaWestland has tapped Lagerfeld to design VIP helicopters, both the interiors and exteriors.
The Anglo-Italian company, controlled by Italy's Finmeccanica, is to initially focus on its AW139 twin-turbine helicopter (which can carry up to 15 passengers), though the partnership may be extended to other commercial models.
AgustaWestland says Lagerfeld's "creativity and sophisticated style" will allow it to "introduce a new, limited edition, customized solution" for its growing customer base.

This park has Guadalupe Peak, the highest point in Texas, the scenic McKittrick Canyon full of Bigtooth Maples, part of the Chihuahuan Desert, and a fossilized reef from the Permian.
Really beautiful canyon hike! More moderate in some spots and easy in others. Shoes with grip are a good idea! My friend who doesn't hike was able to do with only a few small breaks! I was just visiting the area but I hope to do this one again someday! Absolutely beautiful park!
The views were definitely worth it at the peak. The crux is definitely in the first quarter of the trail up with nearly half the ascent in that first quarter.
Beautiful changes of colors in the fall.
Little harder than expected ... but great view
Excellent trail. Medium difficulty if in relatively good physical condition. Estimated time of 6-8 Hours if taking one's time. I was able to complete in about 4 hours with a 30 minute break. There are some large steps at the beginning but smooths out after the fist 1.5 mile. Great place to escape the heat of west Texas!
This is a decent little hike if you only have a few hours to spend. The hike up the wash is pretty fun. You are in low areas pretty much the whole time so the views are not terribly expansive. Still nice though. The rock formations once you get to the devils hall are great. Some wildlife around if you are quiet. Had a huge mule deer walk within feet of us. It was incredible. Overall a decent enough hike. Certainly not my favorite but would do again.
Definite sense of accomplishment to complete this hike. Info says 6-8 hrs. We needed the full 8.
First half is in the foothills. Second half is up a wash. Fun little hike. Lots of hikers. Seemed to be the hike to do if don't have a lot of time.
rocky and steep but the surroundings stay interesting the whole time
Beautiful trail. The madrone trees are fantastic!

The other day I was thinking back to my freshman year of college and one of my friends who was an insufferable flirt. I have no problems with women who know how to bat their lashes and laugh at anything a guy says, but this girl hit on everything that moved–including guys I liked.
I generally feel pretty confident that if a guy likes me, he's not going to get swayed by any girl who sashays by. At the same time, I did get frustrated when I would express my interest to this girl and she would pounce anyway. So much for the sisterhood.
So what are we classy gals supposed to do about crazy flirts? Should we be content to sit back and let them do their thing? My absolute worst mental state is when I get into Jealous Catty Girl mode and get uber competitive. However, I do not like backing down.
Why is it that we feel so protective, even when we have every reassurance in the world that he is into us?

Duffie's Card Compulsions book
In stock: usually ships within 24 hours!
From the Introduction by Roy Walton: "I am delighted to write some words of introduction to this major work on card magic by Peter Duffie. I have known the author since he was at school and over the years have seen his conjuring abilities progress at an astonishing rate. While his ideas cover the whole spectrum of magic, he excels when addressing himself to cards and I suspect, like Hofzinser, they may be his first love in magic. His work cannot be praised too highly. Any true lover of card magic will be delighted with the contents of this book and its study. The book will be an invaluable insight to under-standing the construction of fine magic. Books on card magic come and go, but this one will come and stay."

(This review is for Duffie's Card Compulsions book)
This book has a lot of solid material in it that I really enjoyed. You won't use all of the material in it; heck, you'll probably only use 5-10 items from it, but even so, its worth it.
I bought this book because of the trick "Dearly Departed", which is a wonderful multi-phased routine, but the palm off utility switch is also wonderful.
Some of the stuff is sleightless while some is a little more demanding, but it is by no means difficult.

Michael was a great host! He was so easy to get ahold of and was very caring. He always made sure we were doing good and if we needed anything! The cabin was perfect! We highly recommend staying with Michael. We stayed with him throughout the month of October and would definitely stay with him again!!!Taylor October 2016
Michael is a very responsive and thoughtful host. We could not have asked for more from him. The cabin we stayed in is adorable, clean and well-appointed. It is a cozy space that was perfect for my family of three. In the humidity of summer, I was grateful to have the central air, but the a/c wasn't totally efficient. The bedroom was the hardest room to cool down, and the only place where we really needed it. The kayaks were a treat, as the lake is peaceful and beautiful. Thank you, Michael!GillianJuly 2016
My friends and I had an awesome long weekend at Mike's place. Check-in and check-out was very smooth and communication with Mike was easy. The cabin was exactly as described and as pictured. The cabin is definitely cozy, but we already expected that based on the listing. The cabin was very clean and has an amazing backyard with grill, picnic table, chairs, and most importantly a dock opening into the lake, and comes with three kayaks, and a couple little boats that were available for us to use, which definitely made our weekend. Would definitely go back for another weekend by the lake!RubenSeptember 2016
Our stay was great. The place is small but we knew that going in. Plenty of room for our family of 5. We were comfortable in the cabin for everything from breakfast to relaxing before bed. The lake was lovely & the host was gracious enough to allow access of his paddle boats/fishing rods. Neighbors were friendly. Restaurant options weren't too far for when we didn't feel like cooking, Chester's was our favorite. No complaints. This was our first Airbnb experience and it was a home run! Thanks Michael for sharing your lovely cabin with our family!ChristineJuly 2016
Michael was great and very nice and helpful. The cabin was great and exactly as described. We really enjoyed the lake and used the boats and kayaks.JosephAugust 2016
Es ist ein schöner Platz am See, eine tolle Aussicht mit der Möglichkeit zum Schwimmen, Grillen, Kajakfahren. Nach Boston braucht man 1-1/2 Stunden mit dem Auto, öffentlich kann man nicht fahren.ElkeAugust 2016

The cabin and the lakeside view was absolutely breathtaking! The cabin was a perfect size for our stay. Tom and his wife were very accommodating and nice. The view at night is breathtaking. At night, the stars were bright and sparkling and moon shimmered above the lake, VERY ROMANTIC! I will definitely book this cabin again!Stephanie December 2015
This cabin is awesome! It's literally steps from the lake and the highlight for me was the deep claw foot tub. The view is incredible and like many other reviewers mentioned, Tom left us delicious goodies. The town of chepachet is really cute and has lots of reasonably priced antiques. I'm dying to come back when it's warmer out so we can really enjoy the lake.MichelleNovember 2016
This was a perfect stay for my business trip to New England. It was a quiet, relaxing, beautiful cabin and lake, just as described. Exactly what I expected and an easy drive to Providence, Hartford, Worcester etc.JimOctober 2015
The house is in great shape and so cute. The lake is beautiful. I loved my stay and will be back. The hosts were very pleasant to deal with and even had a bottle of wine waiting for me.GinnyMay 2016
We had a lovely break from the city at Tom's cabin. The property was just as described, had everything we needed to be comfortable. Beautiful view and very peaceful. If the weather was warmer, we could have enjoyed the outside more. Tom was a very gracious host. Thank you for a great weekendHanMay 2016
Tom and Penelope were so gracious in welcoming us to their lovely cottage. We only stayed one night but the location was perfect-- close to Providence and far enough away to feel like you're in another world! The lake was gorgeous as was the property. You can tell it is loved as its immaculately maintained-- clean, comfortable, and all amenities are provided. The bed was extremely cozy and the claw foot tub was an extra perk not to be missed. Overall, we're looking forward to returning with more time to enjoy kayaking, a bonfire, and further rest and relaxation. This property is truly a gem-- don't hesitate for a moment, book it now! You won't be sorry.ChristineSeptember 2016
My husband and I had the most delightful stay at Tom's cottage. It's more lovely in person, with skylights, custom woodwork, and a beautiful view of the water. It has everything you need for a restful time away. Tom has everything we needed and was just a phone call away. I highly recommend it!StephanieJuly 2015
I rented the cabin for two days with my parents and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. Tom is a great host. He left a well equipped kitchen for us full with all the basic food that we may need to get started. The cabin is very tastefully done and quite well perched in the middle of a serene wooded neighborhood, and faces a beautiful lake. My mom did yoga on the deck and was happy. It's a perfect getaway from the hubbub of city life and I think my parents will like to rent it again next time they are visiting me.AaritMay 2016

Suzanne was a great host. She made me feel welcome and made my first air bnb experience a good one.AmandaSeptember 2016
Suzanne was very welcoming and a gracious host! This Airbnb is right next to Bryant University - don't even bother staying at a hotel if you are in Smithfield to visit Bryant!PallavMay 2016
Our arrival was delayed due to Hurricane Matthew and we arrived after 11pm. Suzanne was very kind, waiting up for us and took time to show us around the space, which was lovely. We had the entire top floor to ourselves, which included a large bedroom, a separate sitting room, bathroom and kitchenette. When we return to the area, this will be our first choice for a place to stay.DeboraOctober 2016
Suzanne is a gracious host and her home is perfect for someone who appreciates a Zen experience. The accommodations are spacious, comfortable, clean, quiet and convenient to the Smithfield area without being on a busy road. I was easily able to zip in and out at my convenience. Suzanne has a beautiful property with many trees and she feeds birds, so bring your binoculars and you will see many species in the comfort of your bedroom, bath and sitting room up on the second floor as they flit among the trees!JoanAugust 2016
Suzanne helped me find where she was located. Rooms were comfortable, cozy, and as described.RobertNovember 2016
Suzanne was wonderful. Her house is beautiful and if felt like coming home after a long day out. Her property and the neighborhood were extremely picturesque. I am a bit of a clean freak, and her house was perfect for me. I would highly recommend her home!JeffrayOctober 2016
Suzanne was a great host. She welcomed me into her house and showed me around. The accommodation includes a bed room, a private bathroom, a small pantry/kitchen area, and a study room. The house was very clean and Suzanne made me feel like I was staying at home. Highly recommended. Thanks!FlorianNovember 2015
We had a very pleasant stay at Suzanne's place. Suzanne is a very welcoming host, taking good care of us and our needs. She had purposely bought a hairdryer for us, just because I check with her whether she has one. She even provide us with the bus schedule for the bus near her house and always offer us something that is over our expectation. She is very friendly and we always had a good chat when we are back. The house is clean and tidy. Not to forget, we always had a good breakfast before leaving her house :) We definitely will stay her house again when we revisit Smithfield Aaron & Jess Malaysia Oct 2015AaronOctober 2015

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at John's house not only was it cute and in a great location but it had literally everything we needed we can't wait to go back again five stars!LizOctober 2016
This quaint studio cottage could not have been a better romantic lake getaway for my boyfriend and I. The pictures do not do it justice! John and Amy were very accommodating for our irregular check in and check out times, allowing us to get the most bang for our buck. They generously left us a bottle of wine from a local vineyard to boot. From the outdoor shower, to the private beach front, to the row boat - we had the true city escape we'd sought. Everything about the place was great, the bed was very comfortable and the space perfect for a couple. The fire pit and multitude of Adirondack chairs were a big plus. In addition to the cabin itself, the surrounding woods are absolutely gorgeous. If you're you a runner or walker, be sure to bring your sneakers! You'll be anxious to get on the road for some beautiful and invigorating views. We hope to return again next summer!TimAugust 2016
房子处于湖边,位于密林深处,风景很好,设施比较完善。 但没有WIFI 没有吹风机,没有洗衣机,虽然其他设施都很好, 很有家的感觉。JiewenOctober 2016
Peaceful retreat on a quiet lake, with plenty to get up to. We took the canoe out, rode bikes and just hung out at the cabin, which was well stocked with everything you might need. John was very responsive and made sure that both our arrival and departure were seamless. He was also on hand to answer any questions we had. 100% recommend this place. Stop thinking about it and book already!MarcusDecember 2016
Perfect! Perfect stay for my son and I for fishing, canoeing and s'mores. All you need in a cottage with the outdoor tiki hut for BBQ and outdoor shower. John was quick to respond to questions and a great host. We will definitely be back for another stay-- next time longer. Thank you!MaxSeptember 2016
We loved staying here, and will definitely be back in the summer time. John was accomodating even though we arrived a bit earlier than antisipated everything was ready for us. It was a bit too cold to enjoy the lake while we were there, but everything was beautiful and just as described.Allyson December 2016
everything about this stay was perfect. John was very flexible about our uncertain arrival time. We will be back. LOVED it here.KathleenSeptember 2016

This is a great little house with two comfortable bedrooms and a spacious view of the river. It feels very private yet it is close to everything. There's a lot to do around Putnam, Hiking, restaurants and we even went to a play in the refurbished local play house. It is obvious that Michelle and Dan put a lot of care into making this comfortable and homey. We will come again!NewFebruary 2017

Carolyn and Stephen are the perfect badass hosts. Set on the lake, their house encompasses you with warmth and peace. I first met Stephen when I arrived, (Carolyn was at work) and immediately I felt like I was visiting family. He showed me around the house and the room I would be staying in. We had a great conversation about politics, writing and how other countries are laughing at us (>.ll definitely be visiting again.SabrinaJune 2016
Carolyn and Steve were wonderful hosts. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Great communication prior to arrival and adequate parking for my over sized truck and trailer. They invited me to watch the Red Sox game with them prior to going to bed and we engaged in a nice conversation. The house and my room were very clean and inviting. Bed was very comfortable and had access to my private bathroom. I woke up in the morning to a beautiful lake view and a wonderful breakfast. I will definetly be back. I rank this stay at the top of my Air BNB list!!!TimAugust 2016
This was our 1st experience with Airbnb, and we couldn't be more pleased. From arrival to departure, our host went out of their way to make our stay exceptional. Carolyn's breakfast alone is worth the price of admission. The views from our room were both lovely and peaceful, as we experienced the fall foliage. We look forward to our next trip to the area. If our future trips with Airbnb are even close to our experience with Carolyn & Steven, we will be very happy campers.TonyOctober 2016
It was a charming house on the lake. Carolyn made a lovely peach and blueberry cobbler and quiche for breakfast! We enjoyed our stay.JasonAugust 2016
My wife and I had a great stay at this Bed and Breakfast! It was our 1st year anniversary, and our hosts Carolyn and Steve made every attempt to make it memorable, including setting out a sign to congratulate us and providing a fantastic (and quite full) breakfast in the morning. We visited during the fall, and we really enjoyed the beautiful foliage which reflects off the lake which you can enjoy from their scenic waterfront deck, or in their canoes. In addition, our room was exceptional and we were able to enjoy the view of the full moon from our bedroom. A Highly Recommended place to stay!TonyOctober 2016
Our stay with Carolyn and Steve was nothing short of amazing! We arrived a little later than planned so we missed the evening light over the lake, but we were tired from travelling and just happy to have a clean, quiet, and friendly place to rest. The space we had was lovely and the bed was very comfortable. The best part was the sunny streaming through our window in the morning! The lake was magnificent in the morning light and it was so very peaceful too. Carolyn prepared us a really delicious breakfast. Everything was light and fresh. They even had coffee already brewed when we woke up, a welcome surprise indeed. We really enjoy chatting with Carolyn and Steve. They shared our interest in automobiles and racing so we had lots to talk about! Before leaving they gave us some suggestions for places to check out in Providence. We could not have been more thrilled with our stay and we would highly recommend it!WadeAugust 2016
Pefect lakefront getaway! Carolyn and her husband were both very welcoming. We were welcome with delicious cranberry cake and fresh fruit and snacks in the fridge. The house was great with a big wrap around deck and the lake is clean and not too cold for a swim. We would definitely visit there again.MayJune 2016
Amazing host and space! A really beautiful, peaceful getaway, and Carolyn is an awesome host! She provided us with everything we could need or want-- delicious breakfasts, and thoughtful, hospitable touches everywhere that made our stay delightful. We had the privacy we wanted when we wanted it, and a helpful and friendly host when we needed her. The room was cozy and comfortable (with an awesome view!), and the property was just far enough off the beaten path to feel secluded and peaceful, while still being accessible. Really can't recommend highly enough. 10/10!MichelaNovember 2016

Aden greeted us when we arrived with fresh bread and honey from his bee hives. He was very helpful, giving advice about activities the farm and in the area. The farm itself was really beautiful with a little lake and kayaks to explore it. There is a larger resivor to hike to about 15 min away. The house was very clean and well kept and very quiet despite the fact that we were right next door to the goat pen. The goats were awesome.KatieJuly 2016
Great space, much larger than expected (next time we'll bring friends!), very clean. The farm has a lovely ambience and Aden and Jon were incredibly friendly. Highly recommend staying here.JosephNovember 2016
This was so great from the moment we arrived. The hosts were available for any questions we had, super kind and informative. The guest house was warm and welcoming. There was a fresh loaf of bread waiting for us, as a bonus. We really didn't need to leave the property at all. The bath was amazing, the appliances made it easy for us to cook, and the animals and pond were a perfect view. We really enjoyed it and we hope to be back soon!TerriNovember 2016
Fantastic. This was the perfect getaway. A clean, private house with every amenity on a gorgeous and quiet farm. We loved the pond and woods, the llama and goats, the sweet cats that kept us company. And Aden and Jon were very kind and immediately helpful when we needed anything--which in our case included a tire repair! We lacked for nothing during the week of our stay and would love to return for another visit.BillJuly 2016
Amazing, amazing place. Relaxing, fun, unique, and the hosts took great care of us.NicholasJanuary 2017
Aden and Jon's amazing farm and guesthouse are completely idyllic. I cannot recommend a visit to Legend's Creek enough. My husband and I found out we had a few days off work unexpectedly together and planned a brief two-night visit. It was totally rejuvenating and wonderful! The property is a cinematic wilderness sanctuary. Aden and Jon had set up kayaks with paddles beside the pretty pond, which dribbles into pretty little wetlands with blueberry bushes and many species of interesting plants and flowers. There are several lengths of forest trails, through a lot of beautiful pine forest. The animals are so well-cared for and add to the happy atmosphere. The guesthouse itself is completely and kindly equipped: central air conditioning with a modern Nest system, an incredible bathtub, everything sparkling clean and nicely decorated. Even the towels were nice enough to say something about!! We had such a good time and hope many, many more people are lucky enough to enjoy a stay at Aden and Jon's. They are the type of hosts with the type of property you dream of finding through Airbnb.MelissaAugust 2016
We loved Aden and Jon's place! The cottage is beautifully renovated and really spacious and clean. It's nice and secluded, with beautiful scenery and lovely animals. Aden and Jon were so warm and hospitable and really easy to communicate with. Our visit was at the start of winter so it was quite chilly but the heating system worked really well. Would definitely recommend it!TimDecember 2016
Hard to know where to (URL HIDDEN) many good things to say! Our family of five had a wonderful stay at Aden & Jon's farm. The cottage is lovely...very comfortable, attractive, and up-to-date. We had everything we needed, and then some. Aden and Jon included special touches that made us feel very welcome. The setting is perfect for a getaway. We enjoyed some great hiking, sightseeing, and food while there. We definitely recommend staying here, and look forward to doing it again ourselves. Two last notes: The information and instructions left for us at the cottage were the best we've ever had at any stay! And the farm cats are awesome...SusanOctober 2016

Awesome! Make sure to ask for detailed instructions to find the place if checking in at night.WilfredaOctober 2016
Renant and his father were ready for us when we got here. They were very great hosts! We basically had the entire house to ourselves. Very quiet neighborhood (aside from the gun range down the street but it's not even loud). They had coffee and breakfast for us. Stocked the bedroom with plenty of water and offered us whatever was in the kitchen to eat or drink. The best thing we did was on our last night, my boyfriend started a fire in their fire pit. It was a great way to end a vacation. The property is right off a main road so it creeps up on you that you are entering the woods. He also told us about things to do around here and places to eat. It's like staying with a friend who's not there to bother you. We didn't hear them, they didn't hear us. It was very peaceful and relaxing.StefaniaAugust 2016
Staying with Renat was great! Beautiful area and clean accommodations! We brought our two large dogs and Renat was very welcoming to them. I would definitely stay at his place again.LauraOctober 2016
Renat was very friendly and respectful. The place was nice and quiet. Nice experience in the woods.CataOctober 2016
Andrei was amazing. He opened his home and made me feel like one of the family. The accomodations were clean and comfortable. Andrei was beyond kind and wven made me dinner on my last night. If ever in RI again, I would stay with Andrei again without hesitation.JavonnaSeptember 2016

A wonderfully unique location, with an ideally situated outdoor natural pond for ice baths. Beautiful homely feel to this rustic home. Paula and Pete were interesting and friendly hosts.simonNovember 2014
This was a truly wonderful experience. Everything was a delight, from the land itself, to the chickens, fresh homegrown foods and maple syrup, to the hammock and OUTDOOR SHOWER; the fireflies and stargazing, and especially our warm, funny, and truly genuine and delightful hosts, Pete and Paula, and their awesome dogs and cat. We felt comfortable and welcomed right away. The house is very well kept and has a very interesting history, the grounds are full of treasures, the food was insanely good, and there was so much to do. Pete and Paula were very giving of their time and told us about what ended up being a fantastic bike ride and a lot of great antiquing. We enjoyed being there so much that we stayed an extra night, and plan to come again in the Fall (zipline on the pond!) and Winter (Cross-Country skiing!).SamJuly 2014
Paula and Pete were very friendly and accommodating hosts. We felt welcomed the second we walked in. Their home was warm and charming, and we enjoyed meeting their dogs and cat. The conversation as well as the accommodations were delightful! Highly recommended to all travelers.AnnaJune 2015
Our second visit to Pete and Paula's place in just a few months! Once again we had a fantastic time and wished we could have stayed longer. It was a bit cooler out, so one of the wood stoves was keeping the house nice and cozy. We've seen the farm in summer and fall now, and can't wait to see winter! Will be back soon for sure!!SamOctober 2014
It's hard to convey just how charming an experience our stay at Pete & Paula's place was; pure magic! I'm going to talk about the hosts first. The property speaks for itself and is accurate in this listing, but what you'll discover upon staying there is that you're dealing with the coolest, sweetest hosts imaginable! From the second my date, her dog, and I arrived we felt welcomed and at ease. Pete, Paula, their two dogs and ol' man cat were all smiles and howls. We got to know them a bit upon our arrival and saw that their charm and care as individuals were in direct relation to those qualities in the property. They ensure that this farm is living up to its potential! To summarize the farm in three letters, WOW! It's everything you'd hope it would be: beautiful flowers, grassy fields, humming birds zooming about, gardens and chickens that provide for your breakfast (cooked by the hosts), a hammock in the shade, a tree that you can attempt to climb (which I did), a roof deck off of the guest room that overlooks the property... Need I say more? Oh yeah, and maple syrup that's tapped and processed on the property. A spoonful of that alone is worth the drive from Boston! Nearby there are awesome hiking trails into the woods which we excitedly explored with our dog. And Providence is just a half hour away in case you need to get your urban fix. It was nothing short of fated that we would happen upon this listing and in turn enjoy the most romantic and perfect weekend fathomable. (Thanks Pete & Paula for being awesome hosts and opening your home to us. We can't wait to stay with you again!)TravisMay 2015
We had a WONDERFUL time at Paula and Pete's. Our first night there we ended up just chatting with them for hours—very interesting folks! They were very friendly and helpful; they even let us borrow their bikes! This place is the perfect getaway city-dwellers; plenty of hiking trails and very pet-friendly. We would absolutely stay here again!LaurenJuly 2014
My boyfriend and I were welcomed by Paula and Pete in the evening and we felt right at home. They were very accommodating and made sure were as comfortable, providing us towels, extra blankets, hot tea at night and breakfast in the morning (the jam was delicious)! We had great conversations with them and to top it off, our puppy got along well with their dogs :) I would highly recommend staying with Paula and Pete if you're looking for a nice getaway from the busy life.ShivaniNovember 2014
Paula and Pete are top-notch hosts and amazing people. I've rarely experienced such kind and generous people and such an amazingly beautiful, well kept home and farm. We had so much in common -- cycling, motorcycles, sailing, hiking, animals (too many to list). If you like a rooster on the porch, great conversations, and adventures in nature with a cozy place to lay your head afterward, then stay with Paula and Pete.CatherineMay 2015

What a lovely spot. Welcoming, Clean, Beautifully decorated.. only thing that made me sad was to leave so soon in the morning. I wanted to take a nice walk. Thanks for a wonderful spot. I will be back.HeatherJune 2016
We stayed at Gary and Cindy's house while so we could visit one of the local vineyards for dinner and not have to drive home. The space immaculate and beautifully arranged with lots of privacy. Gary and Cindy were not there, but her renters greeted us warmly and got us oriented to the space. I would highly recommend this location if you are going to be in the Northeast Connecticut area.BrendaMarch 2016
Everything was exactly as featured in the listing. Gary and Cindy are incredibly gracious hosts and included many special touches that were not advertised - A welcome bottle of sparkling wine, biscotti and coffee in the room, and the softest Turkish towels ever! The location is beautiful, peaceful, and close to hiking trails, a winery, historic sites, and the Golden Lamb buttery, an attraction not to be missed. The suite was private, spotlessly clean, the bed super comfortable. We felt very much at home, slept well and enjoyed the stay very much.LisaSeptember 2016
From start to finish, Gary and Cindy were amazing. They were always quick to respond and very helpful. We were in town for a wedding, and it was perfect. The iron and ironing board came in very handy after our clothes got wrinkled in the suitcase! The location is quiet and very peaceful. We felt that they both went above and beyond our expectations, and we would love to come back again to explore beautiful Connecticut!JessicaNovember 2016
Gary greeted me upon my arrival; he was very welcoming and friendly. The space was cozy, private and quite comfortable. Nice welcoming touch with wine and 2 glasses, coffee maker, cold OJ in fridge. On a very hot day, room AC was on and set at 70 -- really nice to arrive to that ! I would highly recommend.DavidMay 2016
A home in the woods of Connecticut sure beat a hotel on a highway. The grounds were immaculate. The suite was clean and private. Gary and Cindy were helpful and friendly. If we find ourselves in the area again, we'll definitely come back.LeeJuly 2016

Jennifer is a wonderful and hard working nurse. She shared her beautiful home with us. Her pets are super cute and friendly :) Very easy going, I highly recommend her place.GabrielaSeptember 2016
My husband, two young children, and I stayed here for a week and could not have been happier. Jenn and her home were so welcoming and lovely and we absolutely loved our stay. The room and bed were the perfect size for all four of us and we had no trouble with space, access, or privacy with the side entrance and adjacent bathroom. Jenn and her roommate are wonderful! They were very friendly and accommodating and Jenn's two furry companions were the sweetest animals we've ever come across. If we have the opportunity in the future, we wouldn't hesitate to stay again. Thanks so much for everything, Jenn!CaitlynSeptember 2016

Great Location at the lake with very clear water. Cute little cottage and great host. Lots of things to do - canoeing, swimming, campfire barbecue and so much more. We enjoyed everything and would definitely come back!DavidSeptember 2016
Lovely to have fresh flowers in bouquets all over the cottage. Lovely bedding. Grateful for the coffee! Karin responded quickly to my inquiries and everything was as expected...even EXCEEDED expectations. A great place to stay. Beautiful lake and charming cottage! Definitely would stay again!SamanthaSeptember 2016
Karin was extremely accommodating to our needs. The little cabin had everything we needed from kitchen. supplies to towels and shampoo. The interior was nicely furnished and renovated as well, which would easily sleep six or seven if someone slept on the sofa. The lake was extremely clean with kayaks and a canoe available for us to use along with life jackets. Karin was quick to respond to questions and difficulties we had. We were even able to use her gas grill for a quick BBQ. Would visit again next time.DavidJuly 2016
The cabin is very nice basically has everything although old. The environment is also good with lakeside and lots trees. The only issue we had was it had only one small heater while it was very cold during these two days. Other than that, great experience. The host Katrin was also friendly.HenryOctober 2016
The most serene setting that I could have ever imagined. The trees in the yard, the sky, the lake and the charm of the 1950 cabin has made this an unforgettable experience for me and my family. Totally worth it !GauravAugust 2016
Was a fantastic place to stay. I was racing at Thompson Motorsports Park and this place was 4 miles. Amazing views of the sunrise from bed. Place was clean and very well cared for.ChrisAugust 2016
The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.Karil
The cabin at "the Camp" is one of the sweetest places you will ever see. It is a time capsule from the late 1950's, except with internet and Roku. Every detail in the cabin seems to have been thoughtfully provided to entertain or accommodate her guests. The lake is peaceful and the area is quiet. Karin's house is adjacent to the cabin and she is available, but a discreet hostess. We will definitely be back. Relax and enjoy lake time!KathyOctober 2016

this was an amazing stay, highly highly recommended! the studio itself is gorgeous, beautiful colors, well thought out design, fancy toiletries, and everything you could need for your stay. the towels are gigantic and fluffy, and the bed was soft and comfy, my husband and I fell asleep right away. the room is clean, spacious and comfortable. the private balcony is huge, and perfect for watching the sunrise and sunset over the lake. the property itself is huge and gorgeous. there is a chicken coop with fresh eggs, and a sprawling lawn right up to the water. the 2 person kayak and stand up board was at our disposal, and there's a well built private dock as well. our dog LOVED the property. Veronica and her family was warm and friendly, and she is quick to respond to any messages. this was a PERFECT stay.SarahSeptember 2016
Fantastic view and beautiful area! Definitely coming back!BryceFebruary 2017
This was my first time using AirB&B and it was a wonderful experience. Veronica and Dan have a beautiful home overlooking Johnson's Pond and the studio we stayed in was perfect. From the comfortable bed to the well appointed bathroom (plenty of towels and toiletries in case we forgot anything), we were able to relax and enjoy total privacy. Veronica and Dan's place was far nicer and more spacious than any hotel I've stayed in here in RI. In fact, their studio was one of the best stays I've had anywhere! The private deck with a beautiful view of the pond was lovely to wake up to each morning, and nights were peaceful and quiet. We didn't want to leave! I highly recommend staying at Veronica and Dan's place; you'll feel right at home :) Thank you, Veronica and Dan!! We enjoyed our stay immensely and wish you both all the best!EmilySeptember 2016
Vernocia's house was more than just wonderful! They had more than what was expected and I'll definitely be back for the beautiful summer view. Five star recommendation for anyone!AmandaJanuary 2017
Such a pleasant stay for me and my husband after four days on the road. Easy to find, excellent location, beautiful scenery, updated furnishings, well stocked, etc. We just loved it and hope to be back.AnnetteDecember 2016
The hosts were awesome - we just stayed here for a couple of nights and they were very accommodating and helpful. I asked if we could use their iron/ironing board and they had it ready in our room ahead of time! Also were very responsive and easy to communicate with. The studio is lovely, spacious, and has an amazing view. Would recommend this place to anyone!UroojOctober 2016
Veronica's place is BEYOND amazing! It falls nothing short of the photos and description listed. It's definitely the perfect place for a getaway. My boyfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our stay. It's a shame we couldn't stay longer. Not even worried though... We will be back!KeishaDecember 2016
I really cannot complain about a single thing here. We really felt like we had the whole place to ourselves the whole time. We stayed really low key and became pretty lazy on the rainy days. This is a beautiful little studio with a nice sized kitchen area, bathroom and the best part of it all is the porch/deck looking over the lake. Very quiet area and it was perfect to get out and go for motorcycle rides. Host was very accommodating in our trailer for the bikes and the dog we brought along. All-in-all I would stay here again in a heartbeat. The ability to use the gym (though we didn't) is an added bonus.BillOctober 2016

Maison fantastique, propre et très chaleureuse. Les chambres - et salles de bain - sont, en plus d'être spacieuses, dispersées de façon à avoir une bonne intimité. Les lit sont très confortables. L'ambiance vient d'un autre temps et les aires communes sont très spacieuses. Un endroit que je recommande fortement.VincentJune 2015
We had a great time at Mary Beth's and Doug's home. Very spacious for the large group we were. They were very attentive of our needs and we're great hosts. Would definately recommend this place to others.GersonDecember 2015
Had a fantastic experience in Marybeth and Doug's Barn! Originally liked it because of the pictures in the airbnb. And when we got there, found everything are exactly same with what are on the pictures. In addition, the master is so nice. They provided everything we need and allowed us to visit their own rooms which are just close the Barn. And the history of the house and staffs in the hourse interested me a lot, which is an important part of our travel experience in US. Again, you don't need to worry about bringing your own staff to travel. The owner provided everything you need. And Walmart is 5 minutes drive to the hourse. We drove 1.5 hours to Boston. My family had a really good time with the owner. We are impressed by the owner's talent, walm and thoughtful.CindyOctober 2014
The house was really nice - very big and in a beautiful location! The bedrooms were all giant and the library room on the second floor was our favorite spot to hang out. All in all a beautiful, peaceful weekend for a close group of friends!ThomasNovember 2015
I recently had the opportunity to stay at this wonderful home with a number of old friends for a high school reunion weekend. We had a wonderful time in large part due to our ability to stay under one roof at this home. The home a great deal of New England charm, a substantial amount of room to accommodate large groups (we had 12 folks) and includes many gathering areas for just sitting around. Additionally, the home is in great shape and has everything you need to make new memories. Thank you.jeffMay 2015
Mary Beth was an incredible host! She showed us around the property and throughout the house. And the house was INCREDIBLE! The pictures seriously do not do it justice. The kitchen area was great for a large group and the kitchen had everything we needed to make meals for ten. The area was beautiful and the spring flowers were beginning to show. I 10/10 would recommend this house (and Mary Beth) to everyone! We will be staying here again if we ever find outselves in the area :)SavannahApril 2016
The barn at gray mare hill was everything that we needed to host guests for our wedding. Mary beth and her husband Doug were wonderful hosts.

Jacob was such a great host! Helpful and friendly, he was quick to respond and share logistical details for our arrival. The inn was easy to find. History rich and full of charm, we were impressed by the decor -- especially our room, The Grant Room, named for Ulysses S Grant who stayed at the inn all those years ago. Jacob made us feel at home and was diligent about making sure we had everything we needed. Additionally, he let us bring our small dog last minute, which we REALLY appreciated. I would definitely recommend to Pomfret School parents and alum needing a place to stay. Definitely a 5 star experience.ElseSeptember 2016
Jacob really made an effort to welcome us by reaching out prior to our arrival and giving us a tour of the property which is amazing and is being lovingly restored. Sunset Hill is one of a kind. The Grant Room was immaculately clean, peaceful and comfortable. Overall, we had a lovely stay. Thank you, Jacob!EricOctober 2016
Jacob and his family welcomed me for a couple of days during Hyde homecoming. Location was perfect for me. Grant Room had all the old charm and modern conveniences I needed for a peaceful stay. Stretching out in a large claw foot tub was a treat! Sleeping in a carved four poster, wow! Enjoying a wood burning fire in the fireplace, heaven! Hospitality seems to come naturally to Jacob. He's thoughtful, kind, and on top of communication. (I arrived later than expected.) If you like, he can fill you in on some of the history of the house which goes back to the founding of the town. I plan to return in May for Hyde graduation.CarolNovember 2016
Jacob's place was wonderful. It's a spot right out of history. He was great to chat with -- even showed us around and gave us the background on the house. And the room and adjoining bathroom were great. Woodstock is a lovely town as well. Great spot! We will stay again if we are back this way.Amy and RyanOctober 2016

My family and I really enjoyed staying at Robbert's home. The pictures match the home very well. Robbert left us very good directions for the use of his cottage. The beds were very comfortable and the TV was easy to use. The kitchen was well supplied for our cooking needs. The place is very cozy, clean, quiet and that was perfect for me to get ready for my wedding that took place only 10 minutes away from the house. Every morning my family and I had breakfast at the table outside and that was great! I would definitely recommend staying here and I would stay here next time too.DennisJune 2016

This place is absolutely awesome. It's a nice cottage tucked around New England forest. Had the pleasure to be there when the summer faded and fall came. Gorgeous scenery! I had a great hiking experience. The cottage has a vintage kitchen and nice bedroom on the top floor. Robert is a fantastic host. You will be taken care of. The location is strategic if you own a car. 40 min to Worcester, An hour to Providence and Hartford, an hour and a half to Boston, 3 hours to New York. Perfect for weekend getaway or trying to escape urban life. Highly recommend this place.AlvitoNovember 2015
Had a wonderful stay at The Cottage. Robert is a welcoming host and provided good information of the local area. The Cottage is well stocked with all daily necessities, and the freshly laid eggs from resident hens bring it over the top. Marvelous!MikeJune 2016
It was our first Airbnb experience and thanks to Robert it was a delightful experience. First the cottage is absolutly fabulous. The interiors' volumes, the equipments and the decoration are really great. The cottage is in the middle of a quiet and beautiful landscape with rivers, ponds, woods and small wallstones. At last but not least, I'd really love to have the hosts as neighbours. They manage to care about you without being intrusive. Thanks Robert for this wonderful stay!SiegfriedJanuary 2016
