Although we are a stone’s throw away from downtown, we are not on a public street. You’ll be staying at a fully detached single family home, surrounded by gardens and a carriage path—the hill is entirely private with our guests enjoying full access to all outdoor gardens and perks (multiple fire pits, an outdoor finish Sauna etc). For over a century, the two mansions and cottages on top of the hill housed the owners of the factory below it (first the Chases of the Sampson Shoe factory, then the Gallup Jones’s of Arnold Print Works—now Mass MoCA) The main mansion is now home to the Floating Tower Artist Retreat, where we house refugee and immigrant artists (primarily musicians). Our residency is free of charge to the musicians and is directly supported by proceeds from this Airbnb. The Gardener’s Cottage This two-story, Cape Cod-style New England home features four bedrooms and one full bathroom. Upstairs, you’ll find three bedrooms, while the main floor includes a spacious living room with a piano, a separate dining room, a full bathroom with an original clawfoot soaking tub, a fourth bedroom with a full size bed with additional twin size trundle, and a well-equipped kitchen and pantry. The kitchen comes stocked with a full-size refrigerator, oven, stove, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, and all essential cookware and dining items. We also provide high-quality espresso beans for your enjoyment. The house’s traditional design includes a central chimney and large windows on all sides, bringing in natural light throughout the day. You’ll also have access to two outdoor porches, private parking, and high-speed WiFi. We have several other listings available within the estate, so if you require more flexibility with dates, please don’t hesitate to contact us—between the listings we are often able to accommodate beyond what the booking calendar suggests. Guest access The house is entirely private. Guests have access to the grounds of the estate (about 2.5 acre), containing multiple points of vantage, several outdoor fire-pits, a private outdoor wood-fired Finnish sauna, a wood-fired pizza oven, children’s playhouse (behind the main mansion) & several swings, as well as discounted massage sessions with our resident therapist. Other things to note Just a friendly reminder we are strictly a no-shoes, no smoking and no pet household, we appreciate your help in keeping the house beautiful and clean for all our guests and musicians.
