Great home on a beautiful lake. A little confusion over check in/out times as they were listed differently in different places. Not a big deal though. Upstairs in the home was beautiful, very spa-like. The main floor is just a normal older home but has a fantastic sun room overlooking the lake.

Had a wonderful stay for a family reunion and our mother’s 96 birthday. The house was perfect for her with an extra bed and full bathroom downstairs. Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate for us but the setting on the lake, and use of a kayak and canoe was extra special! Anna was a wonderful host and very easy to communicate with. Would definitely recommend!!

This is such a beautiful home. My wife and I didn't want to leave! Everything about this home was perfect! We are very picky about the beds and this was spot on! We slept so well. I could go on for days about how much we loved it, but will just say, We will be back!

Wonderful house and wonderful host! The house is just adorable and was more than enough room for the 5 of us. Clean, easy to check in and had everything we needed. It was a perfect choice, only about 20 minutes from Salem and the ocean.

The home was in excellent condition and perfectly equipped for to host our extended family for the weekend. With lots of age appropriate toys, great outdoor space and well-laid out family and kitchen space, it made for a very easy and seamless visit. The views from the back of the house over the lake were gorgeous as well.

We had a wonderful time at Anna's lakefront home. It is a beautiful home where we cooked in their fully stocked kitchen, barbecued, played board games, read books overlooking a breathtaking lake and fished, kayaked, and canoed. It was a wonderful getaway with so many memories, both joyful and peaceful. Thank you Anna!

Well maintained property on a beautiful lot. Owners made fishing and boating equipment available and all of it was in great shape. I haven’t been on a paddle-board for a while so that was interesting.Close to Salem, the harbor towns, and some awesome beaches.

Fabulous lakefront

Too bad the weather wasn't great, because this house is directly on Chebacco Lake. Our grandchildren did enjoy fishing and kayaking, but it would have been fun to spend hours doing everything.The house was immaculate and the owners so communicative. It was easy to locate the house and convenient for us since our son lives nearby.We can't wait to stay there again !!!!

The house overlooking the lake was amazing ! We loved how clean it was ! It was a perfect setting for us to enjoy some family time together. We all had a wonderful time !All of the lake equipment and accessories allowed us to have a lot of fun in the water !And the quantity and quality of toys and books available for our grandson were very impressive. He loved playing with them on the wooden floor while we enjoyed the views!Anna was very quick to respond to any questions we had.A fantastic stay and experience !

Everything was wonderful and the home is exactly as pictured, maybe even bigger than the pictures seem. I really enjoyed the hosts welcome packet, very informative and the food suggestions were delicious!! I do think the “bedroom” downstairs needs some way to be closed off, you couldn’t go into kitchen without waking up whoever was sleeping in there. BUT we were aware the space was not enclosed at time of booking and we really enjoyed the property!
