I stayed at this lovely Inn with my film crew a few weeks ago. To be completely honest, I was a…read morelittle naive about what the B&B experience would be, and was worried about putting my director & producer up at a place that might not meet their standards - But let me tell you, I could not have been more pleasantly surprised! The rooms were beautiful, spacious and comfortable. Everything you would expect from a high-end hotel, and more! My personal favorite was the array of products in the bathroom. Not the standard, tiny, generic 'hotel-shampoos'... No, these were full-sized, well-made products! It felt like home - that is, if my bathroom at home was much cleaner, more elegant & spa-like. The Inn-keepers, Marilyn & Gregory were nothing short of fantastic. They were knowledgable about the area, and super friendly - but have perfected the art of being helpful without smothering their guests, as can be a inconvenience for some travelers. They made us feel incredibly taken care of, helped us with dinner reservations, informed us of the history on the area in an engaging way... the genuinely full package. Any time I had a question, I knew where to turn. Now on to what I miss the most... The breakfast. I arrived super early in the morning on my first day. Marilyn settled me into my room, and told me I was welcome to come out for breakfast at 8.30. When I left my room, I expected the standard selection of cereal, english muffins, and orange juice. Not at the Hawthorne Inn! Instead I walked out to a beautifully set family style dining table, where Marilyn & Greg served the other guests and I a delicious, holiday-worthy 3 course meal. For the calorie conscious traveler, I'll assure you, it was healthy and light and fresh. Granola, customized omelets, fruit, toast etc... They even respected & remembered people's dietary wishes and, without hesitation accommodated the vegetarians, etc. I mentioned in passing that I was allergic to egg yolks on the very first morning, and every breakfast following that one, they made my plates individually catered sans egg yolks without me even asking - even the french toast. My own mother doesn't even remember to do that. We were on a weird schedule, and rudely rolled out of our beds later than the scheduled 8.30am on most mornings. At most places you'd be out of luck, and left to fend for yourself, but they still somehow managed to get all of us fed each morning without any sign of annoyance. It goes without saying that my colleagues and I really enjoyed our stay there. I for one, was genuinely sad to leave and have to come back to my breakfast-less, less home-y apartment in Los Angeles. Thanks again to both of you. I look forward to having another excuse to travel back to Concord & stay at the Inn. Carmela Makela

If you're one of those people who weren't lucky enough to learn skiing as a kid, you know how…read moreintimidating it can be to learn a new sport as an adult. This is how I felt when I wanted to learn how to ski, but found that a majority of ranges around here catered to the thrill seekers and party goers. I headed to Bradford after seeing that they had a good package deal for beginners which includes a lesson, rental gear and a beginner lift pass for about $90. Signing up was easy and I scooted off to wait for my session. Although I was put into an adult group, no adults showed up for beginner lessons and I teamed up with a really cool 6-year-old girl. So my Yelp tip here is to bring a friend if you're uncomfortable learning alongside the tykes. My instructor, Larry, was great and gave equal attention to both me and the nugget. He showed us the basics and was very supportive of our trial and error. I felt it was a great base foundation. The beginner hills are great for newbs, but be prepared to wait 5-15 minutes for a lift when classes are in session. The little kids need extra time as they figure out the rope lift and spend a lot of time tumbling down and stopping the lift. It's not a bad thing, everyone's learning in this area - but take note if you're impatient. Overall, I like this place as an unintimidating place to build my foundation. After a few days of practice, I'll try out some of the other ranges nearby.

Me and my friend almost got our passes taken for "cutting the line" at the tow rope; for reference the rope had no one on it, and the "line" was little kids learning how to ski and figuring out how to get on the rope. Quite over priced as well its almost as much as a real mountain such as loon just a fifth of the size. would be one star if it wasnt for santa the BEST lifty ever to graze the earth.

I stayed in a Rock on Rentals houseboat with several people from my rowing team this last weekend…read morefor Head of the Charles, and it was a great experience overall. The check-in procedure was clearly explained before we arrived via email, and the directions were all easy to follow. The houseboat we had (Lyra was the name) easily accommodated our party of four and could have held another person. There were plenty of towels and extra blankets, the kitchen was stocked with basic dishes and some simple food items, the heat worked nicely during the cooler weather we had, and there was a two-story deck outside for sunbathing. There were only a few things I would have changed to make our stay even better. The first would be better lighting and some sort of extension cord for the loft sleeping area. I was unable to sleep near my charging phone and had to keep plugging it in during the day, an annoyance for anyone using their phone for an alarm. I would also have put a dish towel in the kitchen (since you're supposed to wash and dry any dishes you use during your stay) and supplied enough toilet paper for the amount of people planning on staying. Other than that staying on the Lyra was a lot of fun, and I'd gladly do it again if the opportunity ever arises.

The price was less expensive than purchasing three hotel rooms for three nights. The three bedrooms and sofa bed were all used by our group of family. We ate out for every meal so the extensive kitchen was not utilized. A few complaints that we would have are: While showering in main bathroom, the water leaks out to the hall and master bedroom The noise from airplanes overhead took away from the peaceful harbor experience The main security gate to the dock has a combination lock but doesn't lock There is a bus to catch the subway within a short distance. But, time between buses is too long. (for this reason, we wouldn't stay again) Sofa bed mattress is very uncomfortable A/C couldn't keep up

Garavanian Travel did all of the travel bookings for my June 2010 honeymoon…read more I initially had no idea where I wanted to go on my honeymoon but knew I wanted to go through a travel agency. I work in Chelmsford and had driven by Garavanian many times. Gabe was very helpful, giving me more literature than I could go through on various locations in the geographic areas I was interested in. With his help, I eventually selected the Sandals La Toc in St. Lucia. He was very helpful in giving me all sorts of advice, as he had been to this specific resort several times as well as most of the other places we spoke of. He did a great job of walking me through the merits of each room/suite I was interested in and got me a great deal on a suite for our 2 week stay. He was great with the airfare as well - constantly emailing me when deals would come through via the various airlines that flew to St. Lucia. It was nice to go through a travel agent that actually had first hand knowledge of the resort where we were headed. Any question he didn't have an answer to he would call them up while I was there to get me as much information as he could. Garavanian Travel is a Sandals preferred vendor so they do get some nice pricing at the resorts. I also told Gabe of a few requests we had while we were at the resort (including my husbands birthday) that were taken care of while we were there. It was obvious that he did a great job of communicating with the resort. I'm not sure how they do with non-Sandals related travel but in this situation Garavanian really did a great job for us. Any trip we take in the future whether it be a Sandals trip or not, I am first going to check in at Garavanian.

Sometimes in life, you have to wear a sweater indoors…read more If you're lucky enough to score the penthouse suite (perfect for honeymooners!), don't forget to bring a flashlight and your rollerblades. The owners (an adorable old couple) are incredibly sweet, and will let you wash your mouth with anything. The food is terrific and the service second to none. But be aware: the refrigerator looks like a pantry, and the pantry looks like another room. One final word of advice: the "dog" is awesome, but I think he may actually be an unregistered horse of some kind. Also: don't forget to have your parking validated (not the cost of it... just ask them to reassure you that "you did a good job").
