Boyd Pond was the destination for our most recent sister getaway. This cabin was incredibly welcoming and CLEAN! We did not bring our pets with us but it was so wonderful to see how pet-friendly the rental was...food/water dishes, poo bags, leashes, etc. The kitchen with stocked with everything we needed and more. Beds were comfortable and we stayed nice and warm throughout our snowy stay. Our host was gracious and responsive which is always a plus! We would not hesitate to book a repeat stay.
Woke up to fresh snow on the pond on morning #2!
Beautiful view on our 1st morning!
Just gorgeous!

We had a lovely time at this property. Felt like heaven on earth! The perfect spot to unplug. we were totally impressed with the location. So quiet, other than the beautiful loons, gorgeous views both day and night! Kayaking, row boating, swimming & hiking with our dog…. We never left the property for the week! The water lilies were an unexpected bonus!

We really loved the setting of the cabin. Boyd Pond is beautiful! We loved seeing critters outside, like geese and loons on the water. We made breakfasts in the kitchen and spent a lot of time looking out over the water both from the table and sitting on the deck. It was nice to watch TV at night and have a space of our own.

Great little cabin on a pretty, quiet pond. My son loved fishing in their rowboat. I loved reading on the porch. It was clean and well taken care of. It’s in a remote area so we brought food and laid low while we were there. Loved hearing the loons and watching the sunset. We had a great time and didn’t want to leave. Thank you!

Serene getaway🌅

Stayed for 5 nights in this cozy, comfortable and clean waterfront home. Our time there was perfect…the weather was warm, wind was soft, the sun was prevalent and the skies were clear. Beautiful sunsets and full moon reflections on a mirror smooth pond. I could have stayed forever. If you’re looking for a place that is quiet there’s no need to look any further!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were pleasantly surprised with the amount of water toys available. The cabin is rustic but inexpensive so you are totally getting your money’s worth. Could use a few updates such as removing carpets. If you’re going to allow pets, make it easy to remove the previous tenants fur and accidents. And fix the leaning tower of Peesa (toilet). Otherwise it would have been a 10. We had a ball taking the raft out to the middle and hanging out. Use the kayak to pull it out :-)
