Rum River Retreat — Peaceful Country Escape on 15 Acres by the River

Nestled on a beautiful and secluded 15-acre property backing up to the serene Rum River, this spacious lower-level duplex offers the perfect blend of country tranquility and city convenience.

With 2100 sq ft of living space, your private, no-step entrance welcomes you into a cozy retreat featuring:
• 2 bedrooms
• 3 bathrooms
• Fully equipped kitchen
• Comfortable living room
• Spacious deck overlooking peaceful nature

Enjoy the quiet sounds of nature while being just 3 miles from downtown Cambridge, where you’ll find charming coffee shops, restaurants, and all the shopping essentials.

Whether you’re here for relaxation, adventure, or visiting local events, this little slice of heaven makes a perfect home base.

Outdoor Adventure Ready!
Guests are welcome to explore and enjoy the entire 15-acre property. Whether it’s summer fun on the river or winter adventures on the trails, this retreat has you covered!
Unique History & Pet Policy

This beautiful and interesting property was once a church camp and sanctuary. Before its rebuild, the home had 13 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, which gives the space a truly unique character and a sense of community spirit.

The property was purchased with a dream to one day become a large breed dog rescue. During the summer months, the second unit is occupied by me and my dogs. For this reason, travelers who wish to bring pets must obtain approval prior to booking. If you have pets, I also have other pet-friendly properties in the area and can happily share those listings.

Farm Life Charm

You’ll also get to enjoy the company of our hobby farm pets: a rooster, several chickens, 2 guard geese. The chickens produce fresh eggs—just ask, and we’ll have some waiting for you in your unit upon arrival!

A great place for home base.

Our family had a wedding in the area and this was the perfect place for us to get away and unwind after such a big day! Thanks for the quiet, the fun of watching the baby geese and their parents, and your quick responses when I had questions! I would totally stay here again!

4 adult family members in the area for a wedding. Having 3 great bathrooms with showers made getting ready a breeze. The area is very quiet and peaceful. Susan is an excellent host - even welcoming us with homemade cookies!

Great Place

Great place to stay and was just what we needed. Would highly recommend this place over a hotel and seeing how there is only 1 hotel in Cambridge. Susan was great with communication and the place was very well stocked with what we needed and very clean.

Country oasis!

6 of us spent the weekend for our son’s wedding, would love to come back without an event to attend! It is spacious with plenty of room (and bathrooms!!) . The property is so quiet and peaceful. Aside from issues with the code on arrival everything was perfect, and Susan was so kind and responsive to all our questions. Highly recommend!!
