The property is close the lake and has Kayaks & SUPs to use which was fantastic! The bedrooms were all good and beds were comfortable, The back patio was a great place to enjoy morning coffee and eat meals together. The living area was small and we struggled with the large table in the kitchen and more then one person working in the kitchen, There is a toilet paper restriction that was unexpected but manageable and understandable with this property's location to the lake. The host was very communicative and easy to work with!

We had a great time using the paddle board at the beach and the beds were comfortable. The AC was very nice to have in the heat! Kitchen was well stocked and the grill was nice. We had thought it was direct water access but it is quite a walk (about 10 mins) to the beach area. We wanted to use the kayak but there was no way to get it to the water easily. We did enjoy the paddle boards and chairs at the beach though!

We are so happy you had a comfortable stay! The kayaks at the boating area are right next to the water - I wonder if you were looking in the right place. The ones at the house are extras. Anyhow, I’m glad you enjoyed the SUP at the beach area!

A Great Spot!

We had a wonderful stay at Mala's home. The space is large and very functional despite being in the process of updating...which is great news for future stays. We were pleasantly surprised with welcome bags and all the comforts of home. The AC units were very welcome on hot days as was the short walk to the community beach.

Property served our needs for being close to family and had enough space. Had some issues with front door lock that we were able to mostly resolve ourselves and the host responded right away with suggestions when we contacted her. Stairs were a little steep for older individuals and young children. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Winter Vacation

We headed up north to ring in the new year with friends who live in the area. We had an excellent stay. Enough space for all of the kids to visit and play and the adults to catch up! Lots of games and toys kept everyone busy and happy. Only negative is we didn’t get any snow…I love snow !! . Would definitely stay again. Owner just a text away for any questions/concerns very responsive.

Beautiful location all year round. Cozy and roomy home with a view of the lake. We had everything we needed and Mala checked in with us and was very willing to offer help if needed. We were there with our grown children from out of state for the Christmas holiday. It was perfect. Christmas Eve snow for the Hallmark ending

Rome camp

The place was clean but had a musty odor when we first got there. I use a walker so I was a little disappointed to see I had stairs to get in, to go from one room to another & to go out back. It was well stocked, we found everything we needed except pot holders & laundry detergent. Overall it was a good week.

Lakeside cozy

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. Beautiful location and full amenities. The house was spotless. The beds were comfortable and linens drop drawer. Mala was easy to communicate with. Suggested more trash barrels. Only surprise was inability to flush any paper due to septic system. We survived our American hesitations. I’ve traveled in Africa and Russia where this was the norm. Great rental.

We really enjoyed our stay at this property for 2 weeks. Everything we needed was available at the house: utensils, basic kitchen supplies, coffee maker, grill, toys, books, kayaks, beach chairs - you name it. Internet was sufficient for both me and my husband to work for 2 weeks, but sometimes video calls were a challenge (I think that’s a general issue in the Belgrade/Rome area - not house specific). There was plenty of room to spread out and several desks for work, plus comfy areas for relaxation indoors and outdoors. 5 minute walk to a private community beach at the pond where kids swam and built sand castles while my husband fished using one of the kayaks. Across the pond is Day’s Store, and we kayaked across for lemonade (about 20 minutes to paddle across). 10-15 minute walk or 2 minute drive to a local trail (Roundtop). Mala the host was extremely responsive and helpful with all our questions. It takes a day to get used to not flushing TP (due to a sensitive septic system), but after the first day we got into a habit and didn’t even notice it. Anyone who thinks it’s an issue - trust me, it is not.
