Hardwick Hygge contemporary retreat with lake views
Hardwick Hygge (hue-guh, Danish for "cozy") is a contemporary retreat in Central Massachusetts with lake views and a Scandinavian aesthetic. Come relax at on Hardwick Pond in Hardwick Massachusetts, a quaint and quiet farm town. Hardwick Hygge is a great place to get away and unwind, with a fully open floor plan overlooking the lake, two bedrooms and a convertible office/work space. A patio and open field surrounds the property, offering opportunities to play lawn games or sit by the firepit. A Finnish-style sauna offers an authentic "hygge" experience. The surrounding area has multiple breweries and wineries, with Hardwick Winery just a mile and a half up the road. Ware is a 10 minute drive with full grocery and other amenities.
The property is lovely inside and out. The house was completely stocked and worked for a group of family members from the age of 3 years old to 70 years old. Also there are a lot of good places to eat in the area, and a lot of near by college towns with museums and other attractions. And the nearby Quibben Resevoir is stunning. And when we had little questions about the house, the hosts were very quick to answer them. Highly recommend.
Beautiful setting overlooking lake! House has an exceptional layout with all necessary amenities! Would highly recommend if looking to stay in this area.
The Hardwick Hygge home was exactly what we needed for our stay in the area. We shopped Brimfield in the day and relaxed in the evenings. Quiet area, well equipped, and easy to get to.
This property is awesome. Location was only about 25 minute drive to the flea market, which was our reason for visiting the area. House was spotless, provided alot of necessities in case anything was forgotten. Its location is quiet and secluded. We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it to anyone.
My sister and I found the Hygge home a perfect overnight stay after a retreat nearby. Serene, clean and otherworldly. Perfect for our short visit. Great game selection, too! Thank you!
Well-appointed, clean, and comfortable. Appreciated the aesthetic. Thoughtful design and visually pleasing. Loved the furnishings and cooking in the kitchen. Great game selection. Overall, the retreat exceeded our expectations.
A really nice stay; clean and cozy. Didn't try out the spa but looked new and like it could fit your entire family inside. I liked the balcony for enjoying the lake view and breezes. A/C available for hot days in all spaces. Bedrooms, laundry, and full bath on ground level. Living space with 1/2 bath on 2nd level. I think the tall grass is on purpose for this property, but I found ticks on myself and dogs about every potty break unfortunately. The area is very quiet on a dirt road. Make sure to read drive in instructions before approaching property, so you don't miss the dirt road. Wifi available on site, not much cell coverage for Verizon here. Well-equipped new home, very convenient drive to Brimfield. Thanks for having me!
My husband and I stayed here for a few nights with our dog and had a GREAT time! The host was incredibly helpful, patient, and kind with answering all my questions. This vrbo is beautiful and so so quiet and peaceful. We only wish we could have stayed longer. We will definitely be back!
Enjoyed our stay. Lovely views of the pond are serene. The Blue guidebook is great!
Only request would be to mention in the listing, that there are cats for those allergic.
The home is clean, modern, Scandinavian design with tons of light and comfort. So happy to have discovered it, as the location is convenient to Eagle Hill School, where our student is boarding. We plan to visit regularly! Thank you!!
We loved our stay so much! There is so much bright, sunny energy here. Joel and Leah have created a very special space with lots of love infused, from their carefully thought out design to their generous share of information and knowledge of the area. Clean, cozy and welcoming retreat! I brought my work team here while we explored the Brimfield Antique Show. We will be back! Thank you thank you!
My wife, young pup and I spent a weekend at Hardwick Hygge and it was the perfect reprieve after a day at Palmer Motorsports. The house was very clean and absolutely beautiful. We experienced both sunny weather with the perfect pond view, and thunderstorms with a cozy spot to relax. The beds were comfy, and our pup loved the small deck off the kitchen. Very peaceful and quiet. We didnât plan to cook, but the kitchen was well stocked with appliances and basics. There is even a smoker outside, which sadly we didnât pack for. Plenty of take out spots in the neighboring town of Ware - about 10 min away. Overall we had a lovely time and it was a perfect spot for our stay. Thank you to the hosts!
Nice new construction, lake view, modern styling and layout, nice bathrooms, kitchen, etc. Very responsive host. By far the nicest and newest place in the area.
My only two areas for improvement would be 1- mow a section of the 2' grass/meadow surrounding the house for a comfortable spot to enjoy the firepit, and 2- invest a little $ in a used hard kayak, as I couldn't figure out how to inflate one section of the inflatable kayak and it would have been great to just grab a hard kayak and get out on the water.
The neighborhood is interesting. Some renovated camps, some in total disrepair, and one nearby with a neighbor shooting a paintball gun or bb gun at night while loudly bragging about killing 38 beavers so far this year. But what are ya gonna do? It's rustic.
A beautiful house with spectacular views! We really enjoyed going back to the house after our daughterâs college graduation and relaxing. It was so quiet and peaceful. The house has everything. Our elderly dog really loved it. He didnât want to leave. Thank you, Joel and Leah!
This amazing property was the best home away from home as we dropped off our son at Amherst College. The home is beautiful, pristine, and very comfortable. The owners have put together a thoughtful manual for checking in/out and great eateries during the stay. We can't wait for our next trip. A 10 out of 10!
