This was a perfect spot for our group to get away for a quiet, relaxing week in the woods. Roger and Elaine were wonderful hosts - very gracious and available for any questions. The house itself is spacious and comfortable, with an unusually well-equipped kitchen for a rental and a large, covered back deck where we ate dinner and watched the sun set across the pond almost every night. And Ingham Pond is a wonderfully calm hide-away - large enough to do lots of swimming and exploring by kayak, while being a bit removed from busier lake destinations.
Quiet, relaxing, carefree. Swam, kayaked, canoed, fished. Ate in using the well appointed, perfectly supplied kitchen and barbeque. Meant to build a fire and roast some marshmallows but they magically disappeared. Saw deer, loons and loonets, and other wildlife. Added two birds to my lifelist. You won’t regret staying here.
We had such an amazing time at Roger and Elaine’s property and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful, serene experience. We could not believe how private the area was, and it felt like we had the entire pond to ourselves the entire weekend. Roger and Elaine were extremely accommodating and allowed us to check in early, which was so appreciated. The house was perfectly clean and the kitchen was well stocked; in many ways it exceeded our expectations and made for a great trip. We are already planning our visit for next year. Thank you for an excellent stay!
This cabin is amazing. Right on the water, has everything you need in the kitchen, and is perfect for a large family getaway or a trip with two, or even three families if you rent the optional bunk house as well. We had a group of 4 guys for a golf trip. We got rained out and couldn't play, so we just stayed at the cabin and had a great time telling stories and enjoying the view. Highly recommend and I would def rent again. Beautiful setting!
Although it rained most of the time, we still had a fabulous wedding and celebration. The house was perfect, the lake and surrounding views were spectacular, fishing was terrific, the hiking was lovely, the black flies and mosquitos were few likely due to weather conditions, and the overall atmosphere was private, relaxing and stunning.
The cabin, location and amenities, far exceeded any expectations..three generations agree " best vacation"!!!! . we spent the days swimming, kayaking, canoeing, walking the beautiful grounds. In the evening watching the sunset. The hosts made sure to include details such as binoculars..a highlight of the trip was watching a loon family take care of their baby. We saw a heron and Bald Eagle. I could go on and on. The cabin is cozy , the beds are comfortable and the views are gorgeous. Would I recommend this host and property? Yes!!!! We started talking about another visit before this vacation was over.
