This was a very nice location right on the waterfront. The kitchen had all the supplies we needed, and it was great having access to the barbecue. We had lots of hot water for showers. The beds were very comfortable. It was cool outside for April, so heat was appreciated. We found it a perfect place for our family to gather.

The property was very open, pleasing and comfortable for the most part. It had some lovely finishes - especially in the bathrooms, but the kitchen was very dated and the attic was open and unfinished. We also had some issues with hot water. Hosts were quick to respond.

Really cute place and not too far to drive into even the winter. They regular plow as well on the roads which is great. The place was clean and spacious for our group. It was a little drafty from the cold but otherwise pretty comfortable and clean and equipped with what you need. Well placed and designed with some minor renovations to be had. Thank you for your kindness and efforts with our group.

Had a wonderful experience having a girls celebration weekend at this lovely home. It was perfect for the six of us to spend quality time together in its bright open main floor kitchen/dining\living space. The kitchen had everything we needed with attention to detail with the little things, spices, sugar, coffee, tea and all essentials needed foe preparing meals. The dining area was set so lovely when we arrived and the big bright front porch overlooking the water was lovely. 2 bathrooms and 3 very comfy bedrooms was perfect for our group. Beds were comfy and bedding was lovely. Nice attention to detail in each room and nice towels provided for everyone. Thoughtful touches in each room to make our stay comfortable. The hosts were fabulous and extremely helpful and attentive. A great guide in the property to cover anything you needed and the check in check out was seamless. I would highly recommend a stay in this lovely home. We had a great experience.
