Stayed Jul 26, 2025We had a good trip overall and enjoyed the house’s unique charm and character, it was clean, and there were ample fans to help keep the heat away. However, it was definitely more rustic than we anticipated. The red kitchen had a faucet that leaked so much that we had to constantly change out bath towels to keep the floor from being covered in water, we did reach out about the leak and were told it would be fixed about mid week but no one ever showed to fix it. Both of the downstairs toilets were also leaking.Given how remote the house is, we weren’t surprised to encounter some mice inside, so be sure to store all your food securely. We also had a bat flying around the house, which made for some interesting evenings!

Stayed Oct 4, 2024The property was amazing and would definitely recommend! Only issue that we ran into was there were a lot of bugs. Wasps, flys, and ladybugs.

Stayed Jul 26, 2023We rented the Merrill House for our family reunion. We had guests ages 7 months to 73 years (a total of 26) that came from near and far. Everyone loved the property. The house and its history are amazing. Many enjoyed exploring the house and its artifacts. It was well equipped with everything we needed. The location is beautiful with lots of outdoor adventures near by as well as plenty to do on the grounds. Other highlights included the fire pit, the pond and plenty of space for everyone to spread out or gather as desired. We enjoyed games of croquet and frisbee golf and relaxing on the porches. The weather cooperated for us with only one day that was really hot and it also was cool enough to enjoy a fire in the great room. The only negative we would express is that the mattresses are in need of being updated. Overall our group appreciated the charm of this house and left with many fond memories. We didn't want the time to end.

Stayed Aug 5, 2022Due to the hot weather, sleeping at night were little difficult specially the third floor bedrooms. However, sufficient fans supported a lot. The beautiful surroundings make you feel a real vacation.

Stayed May 24, 2019Unexpected positives: -The great hall looks amazing. (Not unexpectedly, the scenery around the house does too.) -Despite being a New England summer, the house was cool through the day. -Despite being a New England summer, there were fairly few bugs. Unexpected negatives: -The house was a bit chilly the first night. (We didn't think to ask about the custodians about the heating system when we arrived because it was summer; it worked fine when we did.)

Stayed Dec 31, 1969Our family had an amazing week at Merrill House. We found the house incredibly inviting and quite spacious for our group. We enjoyed cooking amazing meals in the old kitchen and savoring them in the Dining Hall, which seated all of us. Our evenings were spent in the Great Hall, with games, puzzles and dancing. The children had an amazing time in the swimming pond, particularly jumping in from the rope swing. We bought kites and spent a wonderful afternoon flying kites. The grounds allowed us to set up various games, such as a volleyball/badminton net and relay races. One of us is a painter who found numerous spots to set up and spend the afternoon painting. The drive to nearby parks for hikes were worth the trip, but we certainly enjoyed 'staying home' relaxing at the Merrill House's porch. It was an absolutely wonderful experience for all. Thank you!
