Amazing View

This is by far the best place we’ve stayed at while visiting Melrose. The view is amazing and the place is perfect inside and out. We fished and swam right off the incredible dock and had a fire with family in the evening. And to add, the hosts went above and beyond. Maggie and Micah, thank you for everything!!
