Good to know

This is a completely private apartment next to another apartment, with a private entrance. It's packed with modern amenities including digitally controlled central heat and air conditioning, an ultra modern kitchen, a fully stocked Keurig coffee station, stainless microwave, stove and fridge, a luxurious Kohler bath, plush towels & linens, and a calming design aesthetic. The interior was decorated in a Nordic style that evokes "Hygge". The word hygge means: "giving comfort to someone" or "to console". The word has roots in ancient Norse, and the term reflects our English word “Hug”. So hygge is simply the feeling of being embraced by the wonderful things of the world. The Bell House Retreat offers that in spades. There's a gracious primary bedroom with a sumptuous queen bed, linen curtains and furnishings by Article Furniture, a secondary bedroom with twin beds. The kitchenette seating area offers vegan leather chairs and an expanding wood table from West Elm. Outside is a private patio seating for morning coffee. It's a perfect location for a family or couple visiting the area for graduations and sightseeing, or for those that simply need a relaxing Hygge retreat from the world.

We really appreciated all the details Mark had put into this pristine airbnb. From the make-up remover wipe packets (I had forgotten my facewash so it worked out perfectly!) to fully stacked towels, we had so enjoyed this clean and modern set-up. If we are in the area again, my hubby and I said we'd def pick this place again. The lovely town is a block away from the spot so it's perfect for a nice walk and the shops were super cute! Ty for being a great host by being super responsive!

Great place in a great location. Location can’t be beat if you need to be in the area. It’s in the heart of town so walkable and plenty to do around the area. Place was remodeled nicely and the beds were comfortable.

What charming accommodations in a convenient location in Andover. Mark made check in and check out easy and provided a beautiful and comfortable stay. Bright and beautiful with new appliances and a clean bathroom and kitchen area with plenty of towels. Easy access to washer and dryer in the unit.
