What makes this property unique

This is a quiet cabin in the woods with nice neighbors. It is situated 25 feet from the pond. Flying Pond is a clean, clear lake with good fishing, kayaking, canoeing, and swimming. There are islands to picnic on and plenty of porch, deck and hammock space to fall asleep reading a book. Groceries are close by at the Flying Pond Variety store and great sandwiches and baked goods can be found at Scapes Cafe in “downtown” Mt Vernon.
