As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.

Vacations for me are usually packed with sightseeing, adventures, and tons of activities. When I visit a new spot, the fear of missing out makes me want to see as much as possible. While I thoroughly enjoy these trips, I sometimes return so worn out that I need a vacation from my vacation. I have realized that traveling doesn’t always need to be busy and jam-packed to be fun. Sometimes we just need to take some time to relax and get away from it all. I’ve found that spending a few days in the countryside usually works wonders for me. There are some fantastic rural homes for rent in Massachusetts and the Cider House Cottage in the remote town of Petersham is an ideal choice.

The Cider House Cottage is a quaint little guesthouse located on a secluded country farm. Woodlands, ponds, and streams surround the property. You can hike the trails from the doorstep or just stay inside and relax and enjoy the gorgeous views.
