We will definitely be back!

From start to finish Polly and Jamie and their beautiful Notch House welcomed us into the Lake Willoughby community. The easy walk to the lake, the kayaking, the cooking, games, and sunset fire made our stay memorable and one we will definitely repeat in the future. Private bedrooms beautifully furnished, a kitchen fit for any chef, and a living room & dining room built for warmth and memories! Highly recommend!!!

What an awesome property. Owners were super nice and accommodating, and even upgraded our room as we were the only guests that weekend! Couldn't have been any better.
