The main buildings and the grounds are beautiful! However, the motel buildings need some upkeep. We arrived after dark and had a hard time finding our way around the property. They need better lighting and directional signs. The staff was very welcoming and helpful.

The lodge is wonderful but needs some TLC. We stayed in the Motel. The grounds are not being well maintained and litter in the parking lot. The shower was old and little to none water pressure and little trickle of hot water.

Beautiful place, friendly staff. Limited menu. We stayed at the Historic Inn. It was quaint and cozy but our room was not. The inn is old but our bed was too. It gravitated to the middle and the boxspring sounded and felt broken. The bathroom has a step up and the floors we slanted. I would still book again but stay at another one of the houses.

The Inn is a beautiful place just off a main road. It's picturesque, with comfortable rooms, spacious outdoor areas, easy parking and delicious pastries at their bakery.

Great overnight stay
First time in Sturbridge. Very convenient for our needs (1 night traveling with our pet). Bakery was amazing and pastries were delicious! Concert on the Common was happening and offered a relaxing outdoor evening. Would recommend and stay again - but leave the dog at home and book a stay in one of the inn rooms.

Staff were very pleasant and helpful. They were friendly and seemed genuinely interested in making sure needs were met. Even the grounds keeper was enjoyable to talk to. In commenting on how lovely the flowers and plants were they were quick to point out that Mother Nature was to thank. I will certainly not hesitate to stay again when the opportunity arises.
