This was a beautiful spot..right on the watet. Perfect for floating on those hot days! And the dog loved it too. The only reason i don't give it 5 stars is that it was hard to fish from the shore as the water was shallow a long way out. No deep water. We thought part of that was it had been so dry for a long time. But we enjoyed everything else. Older house very well maintained. We had everything we needed.

Wonderful House and Setting

We are seniors and this house was perfect for us. One of us is handicapped and uses a walker. The bathroom was totally handicapped accessible. The lake is beautiful.When we mentioned that we wanted to make lobsters, owners recommended where to get them and brought over everything to make it a wonderful experience.This house is well equipped and extremely clean and comfortable.

Amazing little spot!

The views from this house are just awesome! The yard was perfect for lounging and there was plenty of space for our two large dogs! Having the kayaks available to us was also a huge plus! The house was very clean and very well stocked! Highly recommend this property!

Beautiful location

The cottage and property are well-stocked with everything one needs. It is quaint and comfy. The surroundings are beautiful. This was a working vacation for me and I set up my laptop on the diring table, working while looking out on a lake. So much wildlife and bird activity. My family visited and was entranced.

Quiet relaxing retreat

I went to the cabin with two friends. The first thing we noticed was how clean and the cabin was. The bathroom was very clean and the cabin was set up for handicap access throughout. I was unaware that but was quite pleased as I am a below-the-knee amputee. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and would be pleased to go back. We met the property owner while we were there and he was very nice and accommodating. I would recommend this place 2 anyone that wanted to get away for a quiet relaxing time.

Beautiful and peaceful!

We had a much needed, relaxing vacation. The fishing was great, the weather couldn’t have been better for mid October. The leaves were at peak and we enjoyed the property. It was well stocked, and very clean. We enjoyed the fire pit and kayaked. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Beautiful cozy camp for vacation!

This was the perfect spot for my husband and me to stay while socially distantly visiting my family. There's a large yard with lots of chairs and an outdoor firepit right also the very scenic water. It was clean and warm inside and the wi-fi was fast for teleworking. The space was very large, check-in was easy, and the owners were very responsive to text messages. Highly recommend!
