Happy to hear you enjoyed! We hope to welcome you back soon!
The best thing about this property is the large comfortable deck with a lovely view of Pilgrim Lake and a small access area to the water. There's lots of comfortable seating available on the deck. The house was clean and comfortable and well equipped. There are lots of informational materials regarding all appliances, tv, etc. A great spot for bird watchers!

A wonderful place to stay. 3 years in a row. Unfortunately the lake was toxic with Cyanobacteria for most of our stay. No swimming or boating. Just a beautiful view.

Reviewer Comments:
Our five week stay here was close to perfect—clean, well-appointed house, responsive property management when there were issues, and a view of Pilgrim Lake which was beautiful at sunrise, under a full moon, in mist. The lake was wonderful for swimming and kayaking (we brought our own). A tiny minus: very noisy room air conditioners, especially the one in the master bedroom.

Beautiful deck with everything we needed. Nice wide open living space. Good location. Beautiful view of lake. Pretty garden although little overgrown in back. We were pleasantly surprised to see that there were some items such as detergent, dishwashing liquid, etc. Suggestions for improvements: Air conditioner for twin bedroom. Air conditioner in living room good but noisy. We had to remove cover to reduce sound. Simplify kitchen -- too many items and many were not throughly clean. (Saw a couple of cockroaches in cabinets.)
