The house was perfect for us (me, my husband, 2 kids and grandfather). Plenty of space for all of us. The location was very close to downtown Monson. We never walked downtown but you certainly could, it's that close. The owners have done quite a bit of updating but it is an older home. However, don't let that deter you. We would definitely stay here again if we ever come back to the area. FYI: TV in every room (no cable, only streaming) and plenty of board games/card games for your enjoyment. Highly recommend!
