We spent two nights spaced over two weeks at Maguire House. This is a superb B&b, one of the best we've ever been at. (and we've been at many, around the world). Rooms are pretty, the site is memorable, the Inn overlooking a beautiful lake, breakfasts are outstanding. This is a peaceful place, with the only sounds at night produced by the loons on the lake. Best of all though are our hosts. The Maguires know hospitality, they made us feel at home as soon as we stepped in the house. Our kids were at the summer session at Cushing Academy, that's the reason why we discovered Maguire House. But if you're on your way to Boston, think about this hidden spot, just about an hour away from the city. We loved it and will find reasons to come back.

From the moment we arrived at the front door, to the hugs goodbye, we couldn't have felt more welcomed. Our overnight stay included dinner at an area restaraunt, which Terry handled making the reservations for, and treating us to dessert. The Wisteria room had a phenominal view of the lake, woods and mountains. The bed was the most comfortable we had slept in. Our bathroom was great, loved the unique design of the shower/tub area. The whole home was immaculate. The complimentary beverages, homemade cookies, homey furnishings couldn't make you feel more like part of the family. Terry, Paul and their family, even the four legged variety (Abbey their dog and Chloe their cat ) all have a way to make you feel welcomed. Breakfast, words can't do it justice, from the fresh fruit, various beverages, fresh baked coffee cake, eggs any style or pancakes, I was very pleased. We will be back in the fall to experience the wonders of Terry and Paul's back porch and property. Jean View Reviewer Info

After racking our brains for weeks trying to find a place to stay the evening of our wedding at the Harrington Farm, we stumbled across this B&B on Tripadvisor. We weren't sure what to expect despite the positive reviews and lovely pictures.
We couldn't have picked a better place to wind down the best day of our lives. We literally walked in wearing our tux and wedding dress, and from the moment we walked in, Terry was working to ensure that our stay was perfect. We had homemade cookies waiting for us to enjoy while opening wedding gifts. The house is beautiful, charming and clean. The grounds are every bit as spectacular as the pictures depict. In the morning, we went downstairs and had a fresh cooked breakfast waiting for us - complete with fresh scones, coffee, tea, and homemade granola. The pancakes were some of the best I've ever had. Since there was no one staying in our room the following night, Terry let us hang around to explore the grounds and play with Abby, their golden retriever because we didn't want to leave!
We will definitely be coming back in the winter to spend a little more time there. What a find! View Reviewer Info

This was our second weekend at the Maguire House, and it won't be our last! Terry and Paul Maguire are the most welcoming, warm, and gracious B+B hosts anyone could ask for. Last year, we went on a weekend trip for our anniversary and skied at the local Wachusett Mountain. This year, we brought both our families and everyone (moms, dads, sisters, brothers) had a wonderful time! There is something for everyone at this lovely B+B. We woke up each morning to a delicious breakfast in a beautiful dining room, enjoyed the view of a pristine lake and snow-blanketed trees surrounding the home, and came back each evening to hot chocolate, chilled wine, and homemade cookies.
The Maguire House is the perfect place to spend time with family, friends, and loved-ones. I would recommend it for a quiet weekend, a relaxing getaway, and a refreshing home away from home. View Reviewer Info

My 11 and 13 year-olds and I stayed one night in January for easy access to Wachusett Mountain the next day. We had to arrive late, it was frigid and snowy/icy outside, but Terry, the co-owner, greeted us warmly and gave us our choice of rooms, as we were the only guests. Each room is unique, beautifully decorated and slightly whimsical-- all three of us were absolutely enchanted. The breakfast was superb, and at our request, Terry emailed us her recipe for her scrumptious pumpkin waffles. The owners are friendly but not intrusive, and the B & B is lovingly maintained. It's located in a beautiful rural setting with a view of fields and hills. The children, who are experienced travelers, chorused that we should return every year. I agree. View Reviewer Info

My fiancé and I were pursuing a much needed weekend away, not too far from home and someplace to truly relax. Well, we found it! The house is unbelievable. We were greeted warmly by our host Terry who showed us the lovely common rooms with complementary wine, beer, sodas, water, and cheese and crackers. We were then led to The Rose Room. The bedroom as well as the rest of the house is very clean and decorated with very good taste. It is a cheery and comfortable place to relax. The description that I had read previous to coming described hand made quilts and down comforters in every bedroom and I have to say I thought it was too good to be true! It was true though and the bed was so cozy and comfy and I had wished that we didn’t have another destination the next night. Breakfast the next morning was the best that I had had in a very long time. The table was set with very colorful breakfast dishware. The room was lit up by the unexpected sun shining in through the wall of windows facing the view of the lake. Terry had prepared a nice fruit salad that was waiting for us along with the coffee that was ready to go. There were homemade scones which were delicious, juices and homemade granola which we indulged in while Terry prepared our main course of bacon, eggs and toast. I remember saying to my fiancé that this was the best breakfast that we had had in a long time. He agreed. We chatted on and off with Terry and discussed the history of the house which to me is pretty amazing. If I recall correctly, the original part of the house was built in 1756! Terry then pointed us in the right direction to pick up a path that led down to the water. It was a perfect day for a walk and so we checked it out. It was the perfect thing to end our stay. Well, my fiancé and I have already decided that we will be back after the wedding. The Maguire House is now on my Top 3 Favorite Inns list (It’s not an official list:-)) and next time we will make it a whole weekend! View Reviewer Info
