Clean and functional. No frills so bring your own. Pleasing antique esthetic. The lake is a climb down but this trip was for ADK 90 miler canoe race so we were not there most of the time. Host on premises (we prefer that).

Although this property is very rustic, it was clean and well maintained. The owner, Richard, was friendly and easily accessible as he lives onsite and was outside taking care of the property. The lake front location was breathtaking. Do remember to take towels (including hand towels and wash cloths) sheets, and other “personal” amenities (I.e. body wash).

We love the cottage, there's a beautiful view of Long Lake. The beach and dock are good for swimming and fishing is good too. The whole area is very pleasant. Unfortunately, it was very hot for several days while we were there in mid-July, and the cottage is very uncomfortable for about 6 hours a day, due to southern exposure and no AC. When the sun dips behind Owls Head Mountain it cools off at night, but we tried to get away from the cottage until about 8:00 at night.

We are so glad you enjoyed our cottage. It absolutely was unusually hot during your visit. This was never an issue in the past but we appreciate the feedback and will see about getting some air conditioning. Thank you and welcome back anytime!
