🐾 Unique History & Pet Policy



This property was once a church retreat and sanctuary, originally featuring 13 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. It now carries a unique character and a sense of community spirit.



The home was purchased with a dream to one day become a large breed dog rescue. During summer months, the upper unit is occupied by the host and their dogs. For this reason, pets are not allowed.



If you’re traveling with pets, we also have other pet-friendly listings nearby—just ask!

    4 adult family members in the area for a wedding. Having 3 great bathrooms with showers made getting ready a breeze. The area is very quiet and peaceful. Susan is an excellent host - even welcoming us with homemade cookies!

    A great place for home base.

    Our family had a wedding in the area and this was the perfect place for us to get away and unwind after such a big day! Thanks for the quiet, the fun of watching the baby geese and their parents, and your quick responses when I had questions! I would totally stay here again!

    Great Place

    Great place to stay and was just what we needed. Would highly recommend this place over a hotel and seeing how there is only 1 hotel in Cambridge. Susan was great with communication and the place was very well stocked with what we needed and very clean.

    Country oasis!

    6 of us spent the weekend for our son’s wedding, would love to come back without an event to attend! It is spacious with plenty of room (and bathrooms!!) . The property is so quiet and peaceful. Aside from issues with the code on arrival everything was perfect, and Susan was so kind and responsive to all our questions. Highly recommend!!
