				We don’t think of having to find a place near our own home, but our house was under renovations and family was coming.  This was a surprising and pretty setting so nearby and a wonderful alternative for us to do everything we planned.  Roger was an excellent host. We Recommend this Holbrook home to everyone

				Nicely updated home in Holbrook, best in the neighborhood! And is a perfect location for visiting Boston! Only a 15 minute drive to the Braintree red line T-station which then takes you right into the heart of the city of Boston. The house is spacious and well stock. We loved starting and ending our days sitting on the dock and swans even swam by regularly.  Roger was proactive to check in and very responsive when we reached out with a question.  We highly recommend this home and host

				Beautiful lake house felt like being in a tree house! Gorgeous views of the lake from all three levels! Plenty of space inside and out. Anything you could think of was already thought of and in place! Our family and pup would love to come back one day! Nice and quiet corner lot with gorgeous lake, yard and dock to enjoy. Roger was an exceptional host! We were even able to extend our stay once Roger confirmed the dates after our initial booking ended up being available. Five star stay indeed!

				We had a wonderful stay at Roger's place!

The lake is absolutely beautiful, and you can really tell how much care Roger puts into maintaining the property. The private dock is in excellent condition, and we loved that the garden has private sections along the fence - it was perfect for keeping our dog relaxed and comfortable.

We were also pleasantly surprised by the huge variety of restaurants that deliver to the area, and the basement gym was such a nice bonus.

Would definitely recommend and hope to stay again!

				We loved our stay at the lake house! It was spacious and clean and the beds were very comfortable. Our favorite spot was the deck in the backyard overlooking the lake. We enjoyed  a cozy fire, watching the geese and swans on the lake, and our little dog was so happy with space to run in the gated, grassy yard. The backyard felt like a sanctuary after our busy days of exploring Boston. We would love to go back again and the lake house is definitely where we would stay.

				Roger is a very attentive host. He gave us lots of recommendations for restaurants and was easy to contact with lightening fast response time! The house was centrally located to where we had to be and the property was right on the pond and a lovely location. The beds were super comfy and the air conditioners worked great to take away the humidity. Most importantly, the house was uncluttered and very clean. The yard was completely fenced in for our dog and there was even a privacy screen on the deck at the front of the house. The kitchen was well equipped and there was plenty of pantry items available to use. The property was a 30 minute drive into Boston. I would definitely recommend staying here!

				We had a wonderful stay! The house was perfect for our needs - clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. The peaceful lake setting made for a relaxing getaway, and we loved being able to fish right from the property. Traveling with young kids, we really appreciated the thoughtful touches like the travel crib and high chair. We cooked most of our meals and found the kitchen and grill had everything we needed.

We had a small issue when we arrived, but Roger was incredibly responsive, hospitable, and had it resolved right away. Truly one of the smoothest Airbnb experiences I’ve had. We’d absolutely stay here again!
