Our family spent a few days celebrating Christmas at this lovely home. The house is very spacious with 4 bedrooms and 3 full (beautifully updated) baths upstairs and a large living room for gathering. It was nicely decorated for the holidays and very comfortable. The kitchen is stunning and we can imagine how great it would be in the warmer months to fully experience the terrace and outdoor grounds! The owners are lovely and were very responsive during our stay.

The Wilbur Home is a true national treasure Built in the 1800's and lovingly restored and taken care of, this home is filled with exquisite art and furniture but still up to date with all necessary appliances ,,electronics etc. to make your stay comfortable and almost decadent.
We all love staying at this home with enough space for all 5 of us to have privacy when we desired and huge spaces for togetherness.

We stayed in the main house of the Samuel Wilbur Estate for 4 weeks and it quickly became our home away from home! First off: Ann and Francois are amazing hosts. They are helpful, responsive, friendly, and accommodating. Though totally respectful of our privacy, they were also always available as needed.
The home is full of character and charm (just like Ann and Francois!) and super comfortable. As a professional cook, the kitchen was a dreamy space to cook and hang out in. The beds were comfortable and the living room a great space for hanging out.
The ground level floor stays remarkable cool without A/C (and we were there in Aug!) and all but one of the bedrooms has window A/C. One of my kids chose to sleep in the room without the A/C and was fine!
I must admit that we did not catch in the listing that there are several other units on the same property. It was a bit of a surprise at first, but the bigger surprise was that it worked out absolutely perfectly! The main home feels super private (NO sound travel) and looks out on an expanse of the yard that felt all our own, with a private patio and grill. In the end, we'd pass other friendly faces now and then — it was like having the best parts of a bed and breakfast without having to deal with any of the off-putting ones.
The house isn't set back on acres of land; if you're looking for super privacy and absolute quiet in nature, this probably isn't your spot, but we loved being at the country crossroads of charming Old Chatham. The Old Chatham Country Store across the quiet street has fantastic breakfast sandwiches!
Ann and Francois were working hard on making the property even more beautiful while we were there. We can't wait to visit again when the pool is finished!

The house was beautiful and beautifully decorated. The host was helpful and went above and beyond to make our stay great.
There's a nice-sized yard where our kids could play and run around.
The location is super-convenient: just a few steps from "downtown" with the Old Chatham Country Store and Jackson's restaurant.
There are 3-4 other apartments/units on the property where other guests stay.
