The airline delayed our trip but the host was accommodating and communicative. The cabin was idyllic and had everything needed to give us a relaxing weekend away. The neighborhood couldn’t be quieter and more pleasant. It feels like you’re in your own little world. TBH, it is a real New England feel. The cabin is homey and welcoming. Waking up to the picture windows overlooking the lake was a treat. The host contacted us before we even arrived to let us know they had had an unexpected power outage and had hopped over to make sure everything was okay and when we arrived there were no issues. The stay was everything we hoped it would be, a lowkey, peaceful weekend lakeside. Would definitely visit again.

Perfect family vacation

We loved our stay at this property! The house was clean and had everything we needed. The lot is huge and was perfect for yard games. The lake was shallow and sandy off shore for swimming and we caught fish right off the dock. We would definitely stay here again!
