We LOVED this house. The kitchen and both bathrooms are brand new. The house has 3 good sized bedrooms (listing states 2 bedrooms) and a sofa bed in the walk out basement which worked so well for a family of 4 and a guest. The house was spacious and clean and the owner was very helpful and accommodating, and even included complementary soaps and shampoos. The property is very private and on a beautiful pristine lake, but the walk down is pretty steep. We used the 2 kayaks and tubes everyday and we fished in the lake, but didn't catch anything over 6", although we heard there are some big fish in there. The deck is ideal for relaxing with a beautiful view. Sturbridge is an easy 15 minute drive and we all enjoyed the village and the shops. There is no land line and while our guest had no problem using his cell phone, we could not get a signal. We had a bad storm one evening and used the fireplace, which made for a cozy evening. We would definitely return. We had a great time and really loved the house!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0
