  • Lovely home with lots of room made this weekend getaway ideal. We unfortunately had a bit of rain so we played lots of games and watched movies...very relaxing. Took in a concert at Bethel Woods and had a great time! I would definitely book again when we will be in the area. Thanks Owen!

  • This home made a wonderful July vacation site for multigenerations. Smallwood was peaceful,pastoral, and friendly. The house and hearth were inviting: ample space, wonderful deck for socializing and sunning,modern kitchen for convenience. Enough space for privacy if needed. The lake provided fishing and nature wonders, swimming and lessons, and other children. Our experience was joyous.

  • This house fulfilled a wide variety of "wishes" our family of 13 had for our vacation. Biking around the lake was a highlight,but equally enjoyable was the fishing and kyaking. There was lots of room to spread out. Our oldest son was delighted to have wifi available and the children had a great time with all the toys in the basement.

  • My family and my sister's family stayed at the house for a week. There was plenty of room and the finished basement was the perfect place for the kids to hang out in. My dog loved the freedom to run around and even made friends with the neighbor's dog. Plenty of space and very peaceful!! The only downside was that the previous guests were not so diligent about leaving the house clean, so we ended up spending our first day at the house cleaning.
    
    Homeowner Response:
    Hi...Owen here...most guests do a terrific job(see all comments!) cleaning..either themselves, or by hiring a local professional...our philosophy that we impart to all guests is that we hope everyone leaves the place 5% better than how they found it..that is usually the way people DO leave it...

  • We loved the place--lots of charm and room. The kitchen was great--nothing was lacking. Felt very cozy during snowstorm with the fireplace going. The beds were comfortable with warm comforters provided. We enjoyed the pool table downstairs and the DVD movies. Was a great week-end getaway. We would love to visit in the summer; must be awesome. Thank you!!

  • Excellent accommodations for any size family with any age children! It snowed 8 inches while we were there and the picture windows from every direction let us enjoy the flakes while we stayed cozy by the fire. With woods, lake and seclusion, this was truly a magnificent way to take a vacation without traveling too far. It felt like we were in northern Maine, and it is only two hours from our home in Connecticut. A "must go" for anyone wanting to enjoy quality time with their family! Thank you to owners!

  • Owen, The house was incredible! My husband and I spent a long weekend there with some friends and had a wonderful time. There was lots of room and lots to do to keep busy. There was a selection of dvds and videos, lots of books, magazines and board games, wireless internet, a pool table and a great kitchen to spend time together in and cook. The fireplace added ambience during the unexpected snowstorm but being housebound was actually a pleasure. The down comforters and pillows were incredibly comfortable.(a perfect touch) The opening up and closing instructions were very explicit and easy to follow. It was a great weekend spent with friends in a great house!!

  • The house by far is a hidden treasure. The pictures on the site are nothing compared to what the actual house looks like inside . The house is secluded from others giving you privacy, and peace. It also has a finished basement with entertainment, which by far kept us busy. The owner was great to work with, and kept in contact whenever we needed to speak to him. It was a great stay overall. Thanks Owen!

  • This house is without question a great value. Spent a long (3-day) weekend in mid-November and was fortunate to enjoy fairly mild, snow-free weather. There was plenty of room for the four of us, rooms were clean, good selection of board games, movies, etc., plus billiard table downstairs. Very comfortable place to relax in. We cooked our meals in the full kitchen which was just as good and familiar as being in your own home; would love to visit this place sometime between mid-spring and early fall to take advantage of the outdoor grill on the wrap-around porch surrounded by all those trees. Visited the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts (a definite highlight; do not miss it) and enjoyed some good pizza at Benji & Jake's in nearby White Lake. Thanks again, Owen. This place was exactly what we were looking for and a lot more.
