Hendee Mansion 5BR Historic Home

Our family of 6 (ages 24 to 85) had a comfortable 3-night stay in Hendee Mansion; we were attending a nearby collegegraduation. The property combines historic character with modern convenience. It was very clean, and our check in- and out instructions were very clear. Water pressure was great, the bed linens were very soft, and there was plenty of space. We're so grateful we found it, and Ken was very helpful!

Just as listed, the Hendee house is spacious and comfortable, with a few eccentricities you might expect in a 100-year old mansion, but none that hampered a very enjoyable 55th reunion of four college roommates and their spouses. We had no real problems fixing meals, dining, and visiting in the living room and veranda. The location was very good, just a few blocks from a very large forested park.

House is old, but guest areas are in good condition. Air conditioning worked well and the house was comfortable. Kids had a great time exploring. We extended our stay by a couple of days and the owners were quick to respond and easy to work with.

House was larger than expected, particularly the sitting areas. Kitchen was amply stocked. Check-in and out went smoothly. Only nit was that only one key was provided. With several people coming and going, it would have been nice to have another key.

Beautiful historic home with plenty of space to enjoy. Comfortable beds, clean bathrooms with plenty of towels, large bright kitchen. Quiet neighborhood on a pretty residential street, but easy proximity to major roads to get everywhere quickly. The hosts are very responsive and lovely people. Would definitely stay again.

Lovely vintage home. Big and classy. Just right for our family get-together. Ken was very responsive and helpful before and during our stay.

This property was fantastic for our extended family’s trip to a Smith College graduation. It has easy access to the highway so getting back and forth was quick and easy. The house is enormous, well equipped and comfortable. We all slept well, and the kitchen is modern and well stocked for preparing family meals. The host was very responsive to our questions. I highly recommend!

I just to live at 169 Fort Pleasant ave I new the neighborhood we moved there in 1963 so I booked the house knowing ware it was it was just what we needed thank you

My coworkers and I stayed at the mansion for a conference at the Mass Mutual center. It was a short drive from our location, though we could have walked it in about 30 minutes as well. The mansion was very clean, instructions were very clear, and we had no issues. Thanks again for the stay!

The house is beautiful and clean. It is well-appointed with towels, kitchen supplies, coffee machines, kettles, toasters, plates, cups, etc. The kitchen is a good hang-out space. The AC worked well and there were ample fans. Wi-Fi was strong and there were several spaces for work at home. It was very nice to have a working laundry. The garden space was cute; I even saw a bunny hop by as I was working outside. The owner was responsive as needed to answer questions. The driveway fits 4 cars easily. There is a park nearby as well. The only thing I would say is that there were some issues with the door locks that felt unsafe, but having reported them to the owner, I assume he'll take care of it. And personally, I would prefer to have more than one easy-access exit. In this case, the only easy exit out is through the kitchen. The other doors (front and garden access) either required a key to exit or were marked with caution tape as use-only in an emergency.
