Cute and quiet
Great house for a group with kids. Beds are a little firm, pillows a little flat, and the ferry ride was a nightmare BUT! It was cold, clean and pretty on a hot summer weekend. The dock had great fishing. The kitchen and bathrooms all in working order with great wifi and TV.

I love this house!!
This house is so pretty and in such a great location. The water at the back dock was a great place to fish with the kids and the neighborhood is so quiet and peaceful. Morning coffee on the porch is by far my favorite thing to do as well as horseshoes under the house. Money well spent and my family agrees!!
