Newly furnished. Updated utilities. Quiet area and a great retreat. Year round entertainment. We enjoy our time here.

This is the second time we have rented the cottage. It is such a delightful place to stay and the hosts provide such lovely amenities, that I would say it's one of the best rental experiences we've encountered.
This cute cottage served our family of 5 adults. It was clean and well decorated. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely home with a small dock in a large pond! Kayaks in the back yard. Beautiful looking out to the pond. Very comfortable home. Hosts are very responsive. We would definitely stay here again. Nice job!
Great house. All the extras snacks, coffee water, toiletries. Had everything you would need. Great communication and easy stay.
Couldn't be happier with our stay!!
My family and I were there for a week and had the best time! It’s a beautiful spot and house! The house was fully stocked. Todd and Dana thought of everything you might need. Communication was good, with quick responses. We can’t wait to go back next year!!
I rented to accommodate family flying in from the Netherlands for a wedding. This house provided peace and quiet and relaxation for them. The home is clean and well stocked, comfortable beds and tastefully decorated. Situated on a lovely little pond, it is a nice getaway.
Absolutely feels like home! The house is represented perfectly in the listing. Todd and Dana thought of everything and were very easy to communicate with. We will be back!
A few of my hockey teammates and i stayed here for a weekend tournament...it was a little hard to find in the dark, but once we did, everything was great. Only downfall to this property is that cell service stinks. Lol. Host very responsive and easy to communicate with.
I generally don't write reviews, but the owner was so amazingly wonderful I wanted to take the time to give him praise. The place was extremely comfortable, very welcoming, and had everything we needed. The water "toys" were top notch, and I was able to stand up paddle board without falling into the water! Really, the owner could not have been kinder, more helpful, or more available to help and answer any questions.
The only thing I didn't care for may be VRBO related. I'm a professional, a home owner, and have rented with VRBO for over 15 years, about annually. I don't appreciate being strong-armed into purchasing insurance or setting down $1,500 which may or may not be returned to me. I will have to travel to this area annually due to elderly parents nearby, and this requirement is the only thing that would deter me from looking into renting this place again.
This is probably the first review I have ever given....and I am doing it because this is a new property and I feel it deserves a great review based on my experience. Absolutely great!!! Zero Complaints, as advertised, even better than that. Seems like you may be far from everything(stores, gas, etc)..but totally not. I'm not a talker, but this property has so much to offer, especially as a person coming from NYC and looking for a completely opposite feel. Was so pleased at the proximity of the pond to the house and deck, plenty of fish caught off the deck, enough of a yard area to enjoy, kayaks and paddle board, table fire pit, OPerfect amount of space for 6 guest capacity, including our 2 grandbabies, we are a cooking family , so i can't speak about restaurants/food around the area(ordered out 0), but the kitchen/dining room open concept, great appliances and cookware,made it very easy for us to do our thing in the kitchen. All bedrooms are perfectly appropriate sizes, the living room just a little bit smaller than average, but 5 adults and (2) 7month babies in their pen, fit perfectly comfortably on the huge sectional in front of the huge picture window facing the yard, pond and deck. With all that said and so much left out, the 800-100 feet of road to drive to the property is a little rough(unpaved/big dips for non suv), but is that really a complaint lol(certainly not the fault of the owners) I only get to see my grandbabies in every few months due to distance, but i always hope to find a place where everything is as perfect as it can be, so that i only need to focus on the babies, and this did it for me!!! THANK YOU!
This place was perfect for a family vacation with kids under 6. Todd had everything to make it fun for them to spend most of the day in the water, which was really easy for kids to get into with the dock and a shallow entry. The kayaks were so fun and had kid sized life vests. I also really appreciate how responsive Todd was throughout the stay. Highly recommend!
We were pleasantly surprised by all of the extras at this house. From the snacks, bag of ice, little toiletries.. they thought of it all. The house was very clean and the back deck was beautiful. Thank you for a great experience!
What a wonderful place to stay even in March! This home gave our family of 5 adults a needed respite during a stressful time. The pond location is so relaxing. The home offered so many extras that make renting a house better than a hotel. The snacks and water were much appreciated! Host is very responsive for any issue.
We called the house a cabin. It is small, but well laid out for a family gathering such as we had. Our two little ones, 2 and 5, had a blast running around and watching the squirrels and the pond through the picture window. It was cold for most of our stay so we didn't do much on the lovely pond. Our two cooks made us a feast in the well-stocked kitchen! Thank you for everything, Todd!
We have rented many houses for family get togethers. This far exceeded all others with regard to cleanliness, decorating and items needed for our stay. Todd went above and beyond to make sure we had what we needed
