It was an absolutely wonderful vacation by the lake! The deck was perfect for early morning coffees and beaver sightings. The paddle-boards were so much fun and so were the kayaks. The sandy beach was a 2min walk from the house and we spent more of our time swimming there but we definitely could’ve also swam by the house. The hammock was my favorite spot to relax and read books. And the grill was perfect to enjoy bbqs every night. It was our 3rd time visiting and hope to be back again soon!

My friend and I are here for a few months on contract work, and this cabin has been such a gift! It’s absolutely gorgeous, with charming decor that makes it feel like a little retreat from the world. The large windows in the living room are one of our favorite features. They flood the space with natural light and make everything feel calm and peaceful.It’s so quiet and serene here during the winter. Tim has thought of everything we could possibly need and then some. He’s incredibly responsive and kind, and it’s clear he genuinely cares about his guests. We couldn’t recommend this place more!

We had an amazing time at Tim’s property. Everything was clean and there were lots of amenities like a keurig, air fryer and crock pot. Beach towels were on site and the kids loved the local beach with floating platform for cannon balls and other fun. We saw a bunch of wildlife! Beautiful, quiet location. Can’t wait to come back!

This was a great house and location. It was exactly as listed - clean and comfortable with everything you would need. The neighborhood is quiet and great for walking. A short walk up the street is a playground and sandier entry beach into the lake for swimming although we also did a lot of paddling right from the property.

Perfect for a fall getaway!

This house was perfect. It was clean, and well equipped. Beautiful location. We found so many nearby fall activities. And the foliage was peaking, everywhere was beautiful. The Intervale Pancake House next to Pats Peak has a great breakfast. Hikes in Fox Forest. I enjoyed sitting on the dock in the morning with my coffee and the evening with my wine.

Great house

The house was great. It is on a little cove just off of the main lake. There are some smaller beaches on the lake that my kids liked as well as a swing set right up the road. Tim was a very responsive host. It is in a fairly isolated region of the state. There isn't much in the surrounding towns but there are a few spots to check out. But if you want to have a staycation at a cute lake house, relax, and not see many people, this is a great option.
