Yelp.com Review - by Derick F.

5.0 of 5 stars. Sauna, outdoor heated pool and hot tub. Except for the fossil-fuel burning climate-wrecking guilt, this was a very relaxing way to spend a cold January evening.

not your run of the mill B&B

An amazing restoration of mill worker housing, with an elegant pool, totally wired, and funky decoration. The beds are amazing. Neighborhood has a ways to go, but across the street is MASS MoCA.
