The place was so relaxing and comforting. The host John had everything you could imagine. From games to supplies, everything was at our finger tips. Great place for our dog who enjoyed being outside. John the host checked on us and made sure we were good. Very wonderful time

We had a great time. Very secluded and woodsy. If you don't like bugs you may want to reconsider. The house was clean and adequately stocked with necessities but a little dated but that didn't stop us from enjoying an awesome family weekend of fishing, campfires and enjoying local beaches.

We loved this house! We had our 3 adult sons, my husband and I in the house for Labor Day weekend. We cooked dinner twice using the grill. We all enjoyed the pier and the kayaks. We loved sitting out on the deck at sunset. Being able to bring out dog was a huge plus!We enjoyed the proximity to the beach and the beach pass! It is HUGE value for the space! It is not super fancy, but was very comfortable. It is a lake cabin meant for casual family fun. We will definitely consider booking it again.

The house has a wonderful deck and a very nice spot to sit by the pond, or take out a kayak. The closest beach - with passes included! - was fabulous. The "queen" bed room has a mattress that has seen better days, and it would have been nice to have closet space to hang things.

The property is private and quiet. The natural surroundings are beautiful. We enjoyed the spectacular, quiet lake and its plants and wildlife. We appreciated the use of all of the kayaks, paddles, and life vests and enjoyed fishing from the dock. We also made good use of the fire pit area and enjoyed the large deck for playing games and relaxing. The unpaved driveway into the property is uneven; our SUV handled it fine, but our sedan had to proceed cautiously. We were a group of five adults and two kids. The extra bathroom downstairs was great for our group and the kids loved the ping pong table and all of the games in the kitchen. The ACs were great on the very hot August days. It was such a benefit to have the bed sheets and towels provided for us. John made sure we had extra towels and personally checked in to see if we needed anything. Some areas of the property can use some updates, but it served our group very well. The beach passes for the local beach were a wonderful surprise and the property is convenient to so many local fun spots. We had a great time!

Relaxing house steps from the water!

We had a fantastic stay! We were in town for a family wedding and this location was perfect. It was steps away from the pond, had a nice deck we were able to relax on, it was in excellent condition and the owner was very helpful and welcoming. We will definitely be staying here the next time we come to visit our family!

Quickly becoming a holiday tradition

Our family spent has spent the last two years at this amazing place. The owners have made it feel like home. The peace and quiet is amazing, and it is close enough to enjoy the nearby towns and beaches. We look forward to spending more vacations here.

This house and location worked well for us. Loved having the passes to the local beach. We spent a lot of time on the beautiful deck overlooking the pond. The second bathroom is on the lower level, which may be an issue for some people as it is away from the bedrooms.

Private Getaway

My family and I stayed for a week and didn’t want to leave. It was very peaceful and had all the conveniences of home. The ping pong game was a great feature along with the large deck. We were very happy with this vacation home.

We enjoyed our stay

We really enjoyed our stay at the property. It was spacious and updated. Everything we could have asked for and more was there. John was very responsive when we had questions. My kids absolutely loved the ping pong table, the canoe and fishing off the dock. The area was so cute with so much to do within driving distance. We eould definitely stay again.

Had a fun week at the house. It’s in the woods and private which was nice. The deck is huge and enjoyed sitting out there with views of pond. The kayaks were fun for teenagers. 10 min to beaches. John was helpful and we enjoyed the stay.

Sirotnak Summer Vacation

If youre looking for a private getaway, but close enough to get to beaches, and shops, and restaurants, this is the place. Water in pond is great to swim in. Really friendly neighbors down below. Deck was perfect for pets to relax on with us. Beach passes really helpful.

RI wedding stay

This was the perfect place for us. Our sons wedding was in RI and very near this home. We like being in a quiet area and this met all we had hoped for. There was a glitch with the refrigerator, but John was quick to help with that. The road going in is a little bumpy, but once in, the pond view from the deck was so relaxing. It was a great place to visit with family.

Beautiful house with quiet surroundings, close to the beach

The house is quite nice, the deck is amazing to watch sunsets on. It’s about a 10 minute drive to the ocean. The house had everything we needed and then some. We were only two people, so it was way big for us and our two dogs. The neighbors at the cabin/camp next door were friendly and quiet, and only a presence on the weekend. My only wish was that there would be a dock to drop boats into the beautiful “pond” which by all accounts is quite a big lake!

Very disappointing

I’m not sure where to start! The driveway was washed out in 3-4 sections, the front door handle was broken and had a sign up stating do not use, and the house stunk of mildew - the smell was over powering. I left the sliding door open off the kitchen to air out the house when we were home. Several windows had no screens or broken screens so couldn’t be used for cross ventilation without leaving in bugs. Every time it rained, which was often, the big window in the dining area leaked, and we ended up not using the basement area with the 2nd bathroom and table tennis table because my husband and my kids saw enormous centipedes down there. I honestly could have overlooked most things if the owners had spend some money on providing comfortable patio seating for their beautiful deck. Instead, 2 of the 4 loungers where broken, all were well past their prime, all were covered with bird poop, as well as 3/4 smalls tables being eaten with rust, including the base of the outdoor grill. Very off putting. We spent 8 days here and embraced the rustic nature of the house so as not to run our family vacation. I reread previous reviews and do not understand the discrepancies and makes me question the validity of basing my Vrbo selection on reviews moving forward! This home was so not worth the money! Since the owners stayed the nite prior to our arrival, they were aware of the damaged front door, Mildew smell, and missing and broken screens.

Well, I am not sure where to start. The driveway had some damage from recent storms (which has since been repaired) but it was not "washed out" at any place or by definition you would not be able to drive down it. No one else thinks this family summer house "stunk of mildew." I am not saying that this is a brand-new building built by a resort company, but it was professionally cleaned before your arrival and you are the only one who seems to be able to smell what you are talking about. There is one missing screen out of the five windows in the living room/kitchen/dining area as well as the screen on the sliding door. If you needed help to figure out how to create cross ventilation without letting in bugs I wish that you had contacted me. Again...I am not sure what to say. No one else has seen a centipede in the finished basement...enormous or otherwise ...and this is the first that I am hearing of it from you. Regarding the patio furniture...I wish that you had reported that you or a previous guest had broken two of the loungers and I could have replaced them. As far as bird poop...this place is literally in the woods and although we clean the deck and the chairs before every arrival...the birds and the spiders keep doing their thing. I am truly sorry that you did not enjoy your vacation. The guests before you and after you do not share your opinion. In the future, if have a question or concern when you stay somewhere contact the host immediately so that they can address it.
