Long Weekend at the Mushroom

We love staying at the Mushroom! It is one of the few places in the area to stay that is very private and quiet. It's so relaxing to sit on the porch and watch the boats go by, gather with family, or just read. The sunsets are beautiful and the beach access is a bonus. The house has plenty of room for family and friends. The kitchen has everything you may need to prepare meals. We will return soon!

Great for family

Definitely worth the long drive to the end of the point and be able to sit right at the water, watch the ships go by from a shaded lawn. Kayak or ride your bike to town. Great for family - something for everyone. Lots of toys, pots and pans, dishes, chairs and spaces to play in.

Pure Bliss

This location is dreamy. It was the perfect gathering place for 3 generations of family to celebrate my son’s graduation from RWU. Everything we needed was there with a stunning backdrop. Grandparents loved watching the passing ships from the covered deck, everyone else had room to spread out, play games, cook, and come together. Hosts are wonderfully responsive. What a privilege to enjoy this space it with my family!!

Perfect

The family loved the spot and the home was comfortable, private and stocked with everything needed. Unfortunately when i left after double checking the house I forgot to check the fridge for items I couldn’t pack up earlier. Hope this didn’t cause an inconvenience.

Easy

Easy. Everything you need is there including a great yard and little beach and seashore atmosphere. We fit 3 generations - 9 of us and a baby easily and comfortably for a week then had days by ourselves. Works for both. This house is well cared for and loved and it shows in all the many extras like a clothesline for beach towels, outdoor shower, games for all ages for rainy days and in all Suzanne's responses to our needs.

Rustic but beautiful

My family loved the neighborhood and all the wildlife that reside in Poppasquash Rd. The beach was just steps away from the house which we enjoyed so much. Tip: it’s very Shelly and rocky so water shoes are a must. The home is rustic, and without a/c in the summer time it felt very damp and the fridge struggled to keep our food cold. The freezer did not keep anything frozen. But the owner brought us a cooler with ice and if it weren’t a holiday would have probably been able to do more than that. We had a wonderful time and would stay again.
