Lovely

The view is lovely & yard well manicured. The gazebo & patio are very nice. The owners are super respectful, which is appreciated. Most everything was quite clean. The banana bread, waters, coffee & creamer were very nice touches. The decore was wonderfully eclectic. I did have a nice time hiking and going through the antique shops. Loved having a little face time with your corgies. The price point cannot be beat. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home.

Wonderful hosts and property

Stayed here for my 40th wedding anniversary. Gary and Nick were wonderful hosts and very gracious. The house was immaculate and very comfortable to to stay in. The views are killer enjoyed our first night sitting by the fire pit and looking at the lake. Unfortunately we had the very windy Saturday because of the hurricane that was coming through. Would definitely stay there again. 100% recommend this listing. Thanks again Gary and Nick for a wonderful weekend.

Nice relaxing trip

Enjoyed the stay at Gary and nicks. House was clean and as described. Rustic in a good way. Has the essentials you need. Reminds me of a traditional New Hampshire/Maine lake house or larger cottage. Back yard right on the lake was extremely well kept and peaceful. Only suggestion I’d really have is although the large windows outlooking the water is an amazing view. It would’ve been nice to have some curtains or drapes on the windows. Will absolutely consider renting from them again next year for our yearly trip.

Relaxing place

This was a relaxing little apartment to stay in off the beaten path. The little apartment was connected to the owners home by locked doors. However, we felt totally secluded as if we were in our own separate cottage. The queen size bed was in a loft with a very low ceiling, as the home was only one and a half stories. We could not stand up in the bedroom. The stairs were also very steep and narrow. It worked well for us to keep our luggage on the lower level. The living area was huge. Our favorite was the outdoor gazebo where we could relax in the morning with coffee or in the evening. The kayaks were very nice and clean and easy to use. The lake was peaceful. The owners keep an immaculate property with beautiful flowers and plays all around. The gas grill for our private use was great! We enjoyed the local brewery and pizza place. Northwood Meadows State Park was very close and great for hiking. We hiked the NALMC trail which was 5.7 miles.
