New England sights
The appliances all worked as they should. The room had a definite retro feel. One of the beds was too soft, and the other was just ok.

BED BUGS
Do not rent here- the property has bed bugs. I was contacted by the host while I was staying on property to let me know bed bugs had been found on the property. After weeks of back and forth and a refund promised through vacasa, they told me I was not eligible for a refund. Vacasa customer service is THE ABSOLUTE WORST company to deal with. They are full of false information and do not follow through with any request.

Good location but outdated
Nice location on the lake, with a dock, and rock steps into the water for swimming. The lake has a sandy bottom quite far out, in a little bay. The property looks nice on the outside, and the rooms have all the amenities described. The room we were in is outdated, and needs to be updated, and brighten up. Than was the downside to this place.

Rosebudesque
Beautiful little gem. Reminds us of the "Rosebud Hotel" without any of the issues. Could not have had a better view of the lake and central to everything we did.
