Gather with loved ones in this early American home

This early American home (circa 1900) has been updated to host warm gatherings with your closest loved ones. The Captain's Red Cedar Country Retreat offers a peaceful, centrally located setting for the quintessential New England vacation. The retreat is named after the original red cedar trees on the property, the nautical ambiance of the home, and the exotic pieces collected during my family's time living in Singapore, which you'll discover throughout the house. Imagine yourself as a seasoned sea captain returning home from your latest voyage, welcomed into the warmth of family in this uniquely appointed retreat. **Bedrooms that Invite Restful Slumber** Each bedroom is thoughtfully designed for comfort and peace, providing a restful space after a day of exploration. Experience the perfect blend of functionality and style with beds crafted for maximum comfort. **Why Choose The Captain's Red Cedar Country Retreat?** Staying in this home offers an experience grounded in authenticity and genuine care for our guests. For us, it’s the thoughtful details that make all the difference. With keyless entry, guests have full access to the front and back yards, extending to the tree line between the two houses on the property. In the shared yard, you may meet our friendly neighbors.
