King size bed was in good condition (didn't sleep in the other beds), mattress did not sag. Overall house was clean, smelled fresh, and was well laid out. Loved the Nespresso machine and the washer/dryer combo is easy to use. The 4-star rating for family friendly is because the property is upstairs and not child proofed for very young children, but that was made clear in the description. I did not bring young children, so it did not affect my stay. Neighborhood was friendly and quiet, I felt safe running outside in the early dawn hours. ##### Missy L. Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nick G. 26 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This was an outstanding rental property and we would highly recommend it. It was spacious, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The house had everything you need, fully equipped kitchen, huge screen for watching TV, lovely bedrooms. The garden and pool area was amazing, beautifully kept, a stream/waterfall, and gorgeous flowers. The pool was huge, with sparking water, and very warm (86-88 degrees on most days). The patio area was perfect for relaxing and pool lilos/toys were even provided too! We were made to feel very welcome by the hosts, they were easy to contact and responded really quickly to any queries we had. The location is ideal for exploring massachusetts and beyond, with many restaurants and shops nearby. We had a very relaxing stay and look forward to returning in the future. ##### Nick G.

The hosts are extremely responsive and really have tried to make sure that absolutely any need you might have is met. The outside is especially lovely and the property is very quiet. The main (king) bed is very soft. It was great to have so much nice storage space in the bedrooms. ##### Julie R. Stayed 8 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jodine W. 31 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy A Truly Exceptional Stay at Zen Garden RetreatThe Zen Garden Retreat was absolutely incredible! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this place was even better than the already stunning photos and descriptions—something that rarely happens. Every detail of the home and yard exceeded our expectations.Glenn and Tania’s hospitality and communication were beyond excellent. I had a last-minute need to order something for my son, who we were bringing to college, and Glenn immediately stepped in to help without hesitation. That level of care and attentiveness made us feel so welcomed and taken care of.What really stood out were the small details throughout the home. The bathroom was fully stocked with everything you could possibly imagine—especially the high-quality shampoo and conditioner, which I loved! The kitchen was also thoughtfully equipped and even included snacks and treats, which was such a kind and personal touch.The outdoor space is pure serenity. The pool is beautiful, the fire table made for cozy evenings, and the gentle sounds of the river feature running alongside the house added to the peaceful vibe. It truly felt like a retreat.Thank you so much, Glenn, Tania, and Bob, for creating such a special space. We will absolutely be back! ##### Jodine W. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### kcsheahan 27 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Modern Zen Oasis Located in a quiet suburban neighborhood, this beautiful 3 bedroom is warm & inviting. The house features an ultra modern setup with Siri speakers throughout in every room, induction stove, remote controlled fireplace, projection TV, etc.There are QR codes to go with every aminity, so you're never at a loss. Best of all, though, are the hosts. Glenn, who is on-site, was available through out our stay, whether to offer advice, take in a package that was delivered, or even share an Amazon link to one of the home's amenities that I particularly liked. This truly was a home away from home. ##### kcsheahan Stayed 8 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Teresa 13 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication ZenZone Gardens was the just the perfect, relaxing place for our visit to Worcester. The house is clean and equipped with every appliance you could possibly need from washer and dryer to barbecue grill to jacuzzi tub to toaster and electric kettle. The weather was cold, (it snowed twice in April!!) but inside was nice and warm. The gas fireplace provided the perfect ambiance. Having an off street parking place was appreciated. The neighborhood was quiet and the location was close to where we needed to go - West Boylston and downtown Worcester. There are tons of restaurants and a grocery store within a few minutes drive. The veggie burger at O’Connors Irish Pub was incredible ! Communication with Tania and Glenn was excellent. Glenn met us shortly after we arrived to show us around the place and answer any questions we had. It was a lot of fun interacting with him. Thanks Glenn! They have really gone above and beyond to try to anticipate their visitors needs and to make you feel welcome. We highly recommend ZenZone Gardens would definitely stay there again. ##### Teresa Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marianne K. 8 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The Zen House was truly magical! Our two week stay at the Zen House was truly magical! The hosts were very knowledgeable and helpful. They even have a very organized handbook that was an excellent resource. When we arrived there was homemade brazilian cheesey bread, which, who doesn’t want a yummy snack after a long trip? As well as someone to greet you and take the heaviest suitcase up the steps for you? Glenn was very kind and dependable. Was always available but never intrusive. The purpose of our trip was stressful - our only child spending his first 2 weeks away from home for a pre-college program. We needed a VRBO location that was close to his college and also was an anxiety soothing experience. The house and grounds were perfect for what we needed. The kitchen was just spectacular! Every tool or cooking device was not only there, but topline brands. The speakers throughout the house allowed for us to have relaxing music playing. Comfortably beautiful and highly functional. The backyard is truly an oasis. The pictures do not do the peaceful enchantment justice. I was working from “home” during our trip and being able to sit in the kitchen or patio and hear the babbling brook with small birds taking baths, the rustle of the tall privacy trees, and the gorgeous landscaping made for a much needed supportive and lovely environment. The pool was spiritual - it was well cared for and very clean. The lighting inside and out was not only helpful when dark, but set an atmosphere of warmth. Lovely! ##### Marianne K.

If you don’t like: peace and quiet, Asian style, sparkling clean accommodations, friendly hosts, then this isn’t the place for you! Best place we’ve stayed in Worcester, by far. ##### karen y.

They had the heat running and everything was very well kept. Beds were very comfortable and rooms were spacious. Mr. Pape was very helpful and gave us a full tour of all the functions for all of the smart devices as well as a list of all local activities that were near the home. I would definitely stay there again ##### William G.

Communication with Tania and Glenn was superb before, during and after. The house well suited our stay for our son’s college graduation. I wish the weather was a bit nicer so we could have enjoyed the pool and welcoming outdoor area, but Glenn and Tania made sure it was ready for us nonetheless. Hope to be back in Worcester to enjoy this property! ##### Lynn F.

I was searching for a place that would allow them to come home and enjoy a pool, and this location exceeded all expectations!As a parent who wanted to work while the kids were busy, I found this space to be the perfect sanctuary. The outdoor area is a unique escape from the city, filled with the soothing sounds of chirping birds—a true oasis for the soul. It provided me with the perfect environment to unwind and reconnect with myself, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.The ambiance was invigorating, and the serene, beautifully landscaped surroundings were just what I needed. I’m so grateful to have discovered this place and cannot wait to return!A special shout-out to Glenn, the co-host, who was phenomenal. He presented great ideas and expertly explained how to use all the integrated electronics, including the speakers and TV projector with surround sound, making my experience even more enjoyable. Glenn and Tania are onto something special, this more of an experience than a stay.. Overall, this is a fantastic spot that I highly recommend! ##### janet h.

We lucked out finding this pristine listing! It was cheaper than the hotels we had looked at and had so many amenities. The check in process was quick and easy and the communication was top notch. Would love to bring my family back during the summer to vacation. Thank you so much for allowing us to enjoy your home! ##### Cynthia A.

Even helping us with food when our flight was cancelled. The house is soooooo much better than the pictures. Well appointed and in a lovely peaceful location. It looks gorgeous lit up at night too. We had a lovely stay, slept really well in comfy bed, the house had everything we could have wanted and more. Thanks for all your friendly help and hospitality, we hope to return in the summer so we can make use of the lovely garden and pool. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 14 nights in Nov 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brenton M. 18 Aug 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place to stay for the summer! Beautiful property in Worcester with a great backyard pool in a quiet neighborhood. My wife and I stayed with our kids, 6 and 9, for 4 weeks in July and August 2020 to get away from the city and enjoy the outdoors. We spent nearly the entire time in the pool, relaxing in the hammock and pergola and grilling. Tania was always friendly and super responsive to any issues that we had. There was a bit of a plumbing issue that affected us for a week or so, but it was eventually resolved. Overall it was a very relaxing and much needed vacation. ##### Brenton M.

Stayed here to attend a friend’s wedding and associated parties. The location was perfect and just minutes from all of the events. The house was very clean and had every convenience we needed. It was so much nicer and more affordable than the two adjoining hotel rooms we were pricing! Communication with the owner/manager was awesome! Glenn gave us several great recommendations for restaurants, and he was very communicative during our stay, checking in via text to see if we needed anything! I could tell the grounds and pool would be beautiful during warmer months! The dedicated parking was very convenient and well lit at night. Wonderful experience and would definitely stay here again!! ##### Pamela A.

The yard is meticulously cared for. The backyard is paradise. You don't get this from a hotel. The beds are comfy, kitchen is huge. No cable on TV, you will need a laptop with hdmi output to connect to the projector. But with the pool and gazebo, there wasn't much TV watching going on. I throughly enjoyed my stay and if I ever get the chance to go back through Worchester I know exactly where I'm coming. ##### jarred l.
