Pretty lake house with Great Lake views

We stayed here for our mini vacation. We checked out area, including Sturbridge Historic Village. Family of 5, with our small dogs. Ultra clean house, plenty of space, excellent views. Beds firm & comfy, shower pressure strong… Only thing missing is some kitchen supplies- casserole 9x13 dishes, there is smaller roasting pan,but in need of pot holders & other oven roasting pans for cooking. Everything else is great !

Beautiful home, wonderful host!

This is an amazing home in a friendly neighborhood. The home is new and well appointed with all new appliances. Very roomy and comfortable. The outside deck is great for relaxing with a morning cup or after a busy day. Hannaford is nearby for groceries so you can cook in the beautiful kitchen. And Dan was a wonderful host. Very responsive to all questions and friendly. Highly recommend this rental!
