Other things to note
The protected status of the mid century architecture in the Turning Mill Rd neighborhood offers an immersive mid century experience. The architecture can be traced back to the work of Walter Gropius, founder of the Bauhaus movement.

The conservation land around the house has numerous trails and carriage roads for walking and cycling. You may see deer, fox, owls, turkey and woodpeckers during your stay. A town bus goes by the house, offering transportation to downtown and Boston. In historic Lexington, birthplace of America.

We book the house based upon the number of people in a given group, as the house sleeps 10 and we get more for larger groups. If you book the house and then want to revise the number of guests down, we likely will not offer a refund for the reduction in guests. This is decided on a case by case basis. If you anticipate a possible reduction in guests at booking, bring it to our attention and we will consider it.

The yard is mostly wild. There is room for 4-6 cars in the driveway. Please do not park on the street. Please leave used towels and linens(with the exception of blankets and comforters) in the upstairs bathtub upon departure. Though the house sleeps up to 10 people, the dining room table usually seats 6. There are 6 more chairs and a picnic table on the back porch for another 6 people. If you are a large group, keep your showers short so that everyone has enough hot water. Guests are responsible for snow removal during their stay. Snow shovels and rock salt are provided. There is a large portable air conditioner in the living room. The bedrooms have fans for the windows. THERE IS NO CENTRAL AIR CONDITIONING. Because the house is in the shade of the trees, it stays comfortable during all but the hottest of days. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns with the space so that I can try and address them and make your stay more enjoyable!
