Sadly, Agree with Others - Misleading
We had one prerequisite: unfettered access to both Lake Wentworth and the Cotton Rail Trail. We learned this property is actually on Fernald Basin, separated from Wentworth in 1872. I found no area by which to easily portage a kayak up out of the basin and over to Lake Wentworth. The basin has snapping turtles, lots of undergrowth. Kayaking on Wentworth requires vehicle transport. (Allen Albee Beach is a private beach and requires a pass, which was not left). Access to the trail is only by means of Route 28 (no shoulders) to Allen Albee Beach road, several minutes down the road. Neighboring Sandbrook Drive has direct access to the trail but is also private. Agree the traffic noise is very loud, and constant. Apparent lack of detail to cleanliness. The entry door was dirty, there were crumbs on the kitchen counter, small food particles in the sink strainer, lots of grit/dirt on the area rug in the living room, and the appliances were old, grimy and dirty. The fins and slats of a cooling fan were black with dirt. There was garbage left in both the kitchen and bathroom trash cans. While there was a “large flat screen tv”, no cable connection. Towels were old, worn. We left early. Indeed a pretty view. But had VRBO reviews been available at booking or prior to stay, we would have cancelled. No pleasure in this review as the owners were very responsive to inquiries, yet it does not overcome the lack of attention to detail. I hope they heed all reviews & improve.
