The Acre

About this property

The Acre sits on wide grounds in Brewster, a house guests repeatedly describe as centuries old and full of character. The theme guests raise most is that historic charm itself, with original furniture, old rooms, and a sense of stepping back in time. Several call it a museum piece, others a warm and peaceful backdrop for a family gathering.

The second most mentioned theme is the property surrounding the house. Guests describe expansive lawns, gardens, and a walk down to a nearby reservoir, with a few noting the quiet setting despite being near a state highway. The wraparound porch and an outdoor swing come up as pleasant places to sit and talk.

Patrick's hospitality is the third most mentioned theme. Guests call him communicative, responsive, and welcoming, often noting he greets guests in person and shares the home's history. A few reviews mention a cohost named Nada helping with the same warmth.

The house sleeps 12 across 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, with a kitchen guests say worked well for cooking large group meals. A wood-burning fireplace in the library and dining room shows up as a favorite spot for evenings in. Several guests mention using the space for weddings, reunions, and group getaways, saying the layout suited big crews with room to spread out. A few reviews raise cleanliness issues worth noting, though most focus on the setting and the welcome.
