The house was really nice and actually bigger than it looked in pictures. My family stayed over Thanksgiving and cooked our whole meal there and it worked out great.

Family Vacation over long holiday

Very nice amenities. Perfect place to stay for my family. My grand baby loved playing in the loft/playroom. We enjoyed cooking in the beautiful kitchen, playing skeet ball in the game room and just hanging out by the fire pit at night. Management company responded quickly to any questions. We are planning our stay already for next year!

Great place to stay

This was a great home to stay in with family and friends over the weekend. Kids want to return and stay for longer --the game room and bunkbeds were so fun for them. Adults enjoyed the kitchen, social areas, firepit and fireplace, the overall ambiance and style of the home, and very comfortable beds, pillows, couches and seating. Everything was clean and organized. Electric car charger worked without a glitch. I only wished for better access to filtered /drinking water and found the electric counter-top water filter to be insufficient for our needs. Overall though we had a great stay and would definitely return.

Stunning House!

We absolutely loved the house (we felt it was even bigger / better than the listing pictures!) and appreciated the great communication from the Juniper Holiday & Home team. Our group had 4 adults and 5 young children (9 months - 7 years old) and the upstairs space for kids and garage-turned-gameroom spots were especially loved! Loved being a short walk to the beach (we also drove to nearby Cherry Beach one morning) and a short drive to many local faves (Greenbush, Blackcurrant Bakehouse, Oink’s, Stray Dog, Seedz, etc). Appreciated how well-stocked the house was with things like dishwasher pods, toilet paper, etc (and children’s beach toys, books, pack n play, high chair). Beautiful home with lots of space to gather (and spread out)! Would love to return.

Lakeside bungalo

6 days, our kids and spouses, 4 grandchildren, 2 well behaved dogs. The entire property was immaculate. All furniture and beds extremely comfortable. We chose this house for its openness to just relax and enjoy one another’s company. Being Italian, we love to cook. There was more than enough room for all of us to participate for 3 meals a day..The stocked kitchen was wonderful. We brought our own food. We discovered the Miele coffee machine was not working properly. The contact person sent someone to repair and instruct us how to use the machine within 15 minutes! We enjoyed cappuccino for breakfast every morning. We learned and enjoyed learning much about the property from the representative. There was more than enough firewood for our fires everyday. The game room was so much fun for young and old. Location perfect for wineries, distilleries, and breweries. Our representative, Kaylin, answered all our questions, and concerns within 15 minutes! We have already booked this property in May. We’re looking forward to relax in the screened in porch, outside patio, and grilling!

Beautiful Home, With a Few Issues

This home is beautifully decorated with gorgeous landscaping and comfortable furniture. A few issues will keep me from renting it again. Although it is a couple of blocks to the water, there is no beach there. There is a wonderful beach about a 10 min. drive from the house. They describe the upstairs loft as a great space for kids, but there is no door and it is at the top of a steep stairway. We did not think it was safe for kids. There is a fire pit/barbecue area that is a nice space, but very close to a busy intersection with a lot of traffic noise, and again, not safe for kids. Finally, the wifi in this house is terrible. We could only get it in one small spot in the kitchen. The members of our group who wanted to work remotely were not able to do so. We were not able to use our streaming services due to the poor wifi. We did enjoy many aspects of this home, including the game room, the comfy beds and the well-appointed kitchen.

Better Than I Could Have Ever Imagined

This was truly the most beautiful home I have ever stayed in. I, my partner, and our friends stayed here for a birthday weekend and there was plenty of space for us in the house and it was very close to a public beach (the beach at the end of the road is currently inaccessible). I was lucky enough to stay in the master suite and it was truly incredible. From the wardrobe room to the bedroom, to the bathroom everything was amazing and beautiful. This home seriously looks like it came straight out of Restoration Hardware. The bonus game room was a fun place for us to hang out in at night and offered fun entertainment. I wished we could never leave this home and it is definitely worth checking out! Also, the woman I spoke to about the home and arrangements, Cailin, was extremely friendly and helpful!
