Beautiful and clean home. Very comfortable stay. Thought the water access would be a bit closer but it certainly didn’t ruin our stay! Great location for accessing nature trails, lighthouse, kayaking, dining, and shopping if that’s your thing. Wish we had a few more days for sure!

Wonderful Cabin in a quiet location

We had a great stay at this lovely cabin located near many things, but with peace and quiet surrounding it. The owners were great and let us use their kayaks and canoe to enjoy the nearby large pond. Would definitely recommend this place to others.
