Dock on Lake Garfield, kayaks, Columbus Day Avail!

Our family of 5 adults and 3 children spent most of the time at the small beach 1 mile away from the property. That beach has 2 floating docks that the 10 year old appreciated, sand for the 3 year old, and lots of shade for the infant. There are two life guards and it was only moderately busy most of the time. Very lovely.

The dock is very nice, but only one adult felt comfortable in the kayaks, so it got less use than we had planned from the pics.

The weather was good for the beach, but very muggy, so we needed the air conditioning when we were home in the evenings. The kitchen area is pretty hot from the sky lights and having no ac.

The house is very spacious. There was room for making puzzles, playing board games, etc.

All together a happy time.

The owner was very accessible!

The cabin is off dirt route above Lake Garfield. It is a 5-10 minute fairly steep walk to the lake along a gravel trail and then a staircase. I do not recommend taking the “nature trail”. The lake is wonderful. You can swim right off the dock or take the canoe or kayaks out on the lake. We also went to the lovely town beach at the lake.

The cabin is very roomy. We especially loved the kitchen and the screened in porch. The indoor dining table seats eight comfortably and the porch dining table seats six. There are two bathrooms, both on the first floor.

Although the weather was quite warm and muggy, the cabin stayed cool and we did not need the air conditioning. (Used a fan.)

Mary Beth communicated well and let us know about needed waterline repair ahead of time. She replied quickly to any questions or concerns.

Marybeth suggested that we bring our own linens and towels so that we would not have to do laundry before we left. Most of our group did this and it worked well for us.

We had a great reunion with college friends!

I cooked out back, the kitchen is a great size, perfect trip

Disappointed we didnt find the dock. Thought the lake was closer.

Wifi was good but reception if you use verizon wasn't

I think an explanation of where to place the trash.

Advance notice on the lack of linens and towels would be nice.

Our family of 8 enjoyed a 4 day Thanksgiving weekend at the house and there was plenty of room for all of us. The house was very clean upon arrival and there was plenty of firewood available if you wanted to use the wood burning stove. The beds were very comfortable and the house was well stocked with all of the necessities.

The owners were very helpful in giving us a run down on places to go and what to see while visiting and made check-in and check-out simple. We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly and would most definitely rent here again.
