Magnificent Ferncrest - Towering Home on the coast
Discover the perfect seaside escape in this expansive 6,800 square foot family home, inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural designs. Nestled just two blocks from Eastern Point Beach in Groton, this private haven boasts eight distinct sleeping areas, six bathrooms, and elegant living spaces. Previously a lavish retreat for a wealthy family, this home now invites you to indulge in its luxury.
This grand, recently furnished home offers spaces for everyone to gather, as well as quiet nooks for intimate conversations. The "Grand Game Room" features a pool table, big-screen TV, board game table, and a separate video gaming area. On the front side of the house, a spacious living room, separate TV room, and large semi-formal dining room await. Enjoy a gentle breeze on the roomy screened porch, overlooking Ledge Lighthouse, situated just off the dining room and next to the outdoor barbeque.
The fully-equipped kitchen is complemented by a walk-in pantry and an additional dining area for 8-10 guests. All bedrooms are located on the second floor, furnished with comfy mattresses and blackout blinds for your comfort. Three king bedrooms are situated near the grand center staircase, each featuring an Avocado brand mattress. A separate apartment above the Grand Game Room houses a queen bed, a twin bedroom, a kitchenette, a full bathroom, and a separate dining/TV area – perfect for a family of four.
The home's unique "tower room" offers stunning 360-degree views and is the perfect spot to read, converse, work, or play. The vast backyard lawn is ideal for outdoor games such as croquet, frisbee golf, bocce ball, or soccer. Rainy days won't stop the fun, as the large covered porch is perfect for a game of corn hole.
This exquisite residence is well-suited for family gatherings, friends' reunions, book clubs, golf outings, business retreats, and more.
Fresh linens, bath towels, and personal soaps (including shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion, and more) are provided.

“We had a wonderful stay. From booking to arrival, our host was extremely responsive and worked to make sure we had all of the details we needed. The property itself was beautiful - completely as described with lots of space, a ton of natural light, and proximity to the ocean. We hope to be back soon - can't recommend highly enough!”
Jeremy, 11/01/2024
“Our group had an absolutely wonderful time. The accommodations are top notch, with plenty of rooms for sleeping, and immaculately well-stocked kitchen, a great grill, plus cornhole, disc golf, and other bonus amenities available. We spent a lot of time cooking/grilling, and the setup made it so easy. The billiards room was so comfy, and we were able to listen to our favorite tunes or watch movies/videos at our leisure between the plethora of sports games we wanted to watch live. The beach is just a short walk away, which allowed us to watch sunrises and sunsets, which were incredibly beautiful and scenic. There are a wide variety of places to see, eat, and enjoy in the area, and it was very easy to reach/find the place. Be sure to read the in-depth instructions provided via a binder, as they were incredibly helpful. Thank you to the hosts for making our extended weekend away truly full of leisure and joy.”

“Great House. Jason was great to deal with. House is as advertised!”
Scott, 09/27/2024
“Great place for family reunion. House has a ton of beds/bedrooms. Great yard for bocce, frisbee. Walking distance to very small beach area. Fun !!”
Kerri, 08/18/2024
“Such a beautiful home, there was so much space for all of us, and we loved that all of the bedrooms were upstairs, so we could put the kids to bed and hang out downstairs without waking anyone up. The room layout is really great for families with children, we had 3 generations in the house and everyone loved it! Super clean, with plenty of everything you need. Only minor downside is that the kitchen is oddly small for how big the rest of the house is and how many people it sleeps; we didn’t cook a large dinner but if we did we’d probably find it a tight squeeze in regards to counter and work space. The yard and screened porch are also really great and extend the living space even more. We also appreciated the ample parking, as we came from all over the place with many cars. Looking forward to staying again in the future! Thanks so much”

“Me and my group of 15 absolutely loved this place! It is one of the biggest houses I’ve ever stepped foot in! Pictures do not do it justice! The yard itself was a huge selling point for my group and it blew away expectations! It even had a basketball hoop which we loved. There was a lot of bedrooms, and everyone was very comfortable even with a large group!”

“Lovely home. Lots of space. We loved the pool room and we spent a lot of time there. Two beautiful living rooms with a lot of space for our family. We took a nice walk along the water at UCONN. Great place for a family reunion”
Kathleen, 02/09/2024
“The house was perfect for our group of 10 and we definitely could have had more friends join us! We especially liked the dining room, living rooms, and game room - and the house had excellent amenities in the kitchen and bathrooms with full towel sets. When we lost power for a little while due to a storm, Jason was super responsive and went above & beyond with a backup plan for us if we needed it. Highly recommend.”
Janet, 01/13/2024
“Beautiful home - perfect for our annual Christmas gathering! Game room with pool table was our favorite hang out, but dining room was big enough to fit us all as well! House was well taken care of. Would love to go back in the summer!!”
Lori, 12/15/2023
“It's a really big house. The spaces are many and above all very spacious. The outdoor space, with the garden, is really very large. It was followed by an agency and not the owner himself, and that makes everything very efficient and organized. Even the welcome in the house seems to be in the hotel. Everything is very clean, attention to detail. In the bathroom there are mini beauty for each guest with everything you need, the hairdryer, towel kits, etc. There is a games room with a very cozy billiards and above all a beautiful area to share evenings with friends or family. All of us were positively surprised by this house and would highly recommend it. Small flaws/tips: The dining room has a table for 10 people, and then a smaller table (camping style) is provided for the remaining guests. The kitchen is functional and well serviced but maybe a little small for so many guests. There are many stairs, you have to be careful with small children.”

Overall, Loved the place!”
