The house and amenities inside were great and very clean. The location is secluded and close to side by side trails. Had a problem with getting the correct internet access. The house does not have central air conditioning, it does have a floor unit. There were a few very hot days that may be unusual but the air unit was not cooling the house. I would stay there again.

Very nice home

Nice home on a beautiful island. This was home great for our weekend getaway. Beds were super comfortable. It was a bit warm the days we were there, and it was nice to have the window air unit to cool the house down just a bit. The views in the morning over the pond was wonderful. My only complaint was that the slider door didn't lock.

The cabin was fully stocked of essentials and was clean and comfortable. Close to businesses that that may have what you forget. The kayaking portrayed is not what we expected due to the terrain one must travel to get on the water. However, we weren't there to kayak. If you are looking for a place to sleep, eat and explore this property fits the bill!
