You've got an open door here. We love company. We bought a 6 bedroom, but we didn't have a family, so plenty of room and privacy. A nice, private place to stay. 1.5 hours to NYC, 1.5 hous to Boston. Virtually no time to spas, hikes etc. Our one rule that is enforced mercilessly is "do whatever you want. "
Watch tv upstairs --good. Decide to take a nap -- no questions asked. I've bagged out of a ton of dinners invoking this rule. Long story short, if you want to use our place to explore boston or NYC, go for it. We'll light up at night....
