Beautiful, peaceful, well equipped
Beautiful, very peaceful and well equipped property. Kayaking on the lake was fantastic, as was spending time BBQ’ing and relaxing on the deck. The only negative was that, while the master bed was great, the bed on the second bedroom was not. But, as a property at which to disconnect and decompress, it was fantastic.

Seclusion
If you like to be secluded then this is the place..Beautiful setting with the water right there. The house came fully equipped, except fans because of no air and a regular coffee maker, but we made it work..We would of enjoyed the outdoors more but Mother nature had other plans.

Beautiful and peaceful place
Bob's place was a very beautiful and peaceful place and about 1 hour from the cabot trail. If you like kayaking the private beach is a great spot to take the kayaks. the property has 2 Kayaks and life jackets.
Note that there is no wifi in the property but LTE data works on your phone. So if you need a lot of data during your stay you need to know this.
Check in process in our case was the only downside since we didn't get the check in information until we had to call VRBO. Bob did advise there was some issues sending the message through VRBO app.

entspannter Aufenthalt
Eine super tolle Lage, sehr schönes Haus mit direkten Seezugang, sogar mit einem kleinen Strand, Das Haus ist gut ausgestattet, am besten für 2 Personen oder einer kleinen Familie. Die LTE-Verbindung funktioniert überraschenderweise sehr gut, eine Wifi Verbindung wäre doch wünschenswert. Eine ruhige friedliche Umgebung inmitten der Natur, ob Frühstücken auf der Terrasse mit einem frischgebrühten Kaffee aus der French Press (es gibt keine Kaffeemaschine) oder abends am Lagerfeuer, man kann sehr gut entspannen.
Der Gastgeber war unglaublich zuvorkommend und hat dafür gesorgt, dass wir uns rundum wohlfühlten, er hat umgehend auf Fragen reagiert.
