This home was perfect for my family! The entire home was clean and inviting, and had everything we needed to make our visit comfortable. Will definitely stay again!
We absolutely loved our stay! The house was perfect and even better in person. Very clean and comfortable. The location is very close to town and we walked to the restaurants and stores daily. Jason was extremely kind and allowed for a late checkout. I also loved that he welcomes dogs. I will definitely book here again if I can find an opening!
We absolutely loved this house and its walkability to town and proximity to family nearby. The house is charming, and the host was fantastic, very responsive and kind when we had questions during our stay. This was a perfect place to hang out with our kids and small dog. There’s plenty of space and amenities to enjoy. We look forward to staying here again!
Perfect condition excellent we enjoyed ourselves very much. This is one of the best places to stay it was very clean. We had such fun we were able to get to so many places and it was very easy.Perfect
We really enjoyed the walk ability to town and harbor. The rental had all the amenities you could need. A fully stocked kitchen, baths, front porch with tables and chairs.
We (3 kids & dog) stayed here over our mid-winter break. The house was perfect - cozy and comfortable. The location is perfect - we loved how easy it was to walk into town, and a short drive to skiing and Pond Hill Farm. We hope to stay here again!

Clean, comfortable home that is nicely decorated and well appointed. A great porch. Less than a five minute walk to center of town, restaurants, Farmers Market, harbor and Zorn Beach. Very responsive owner.
Owner is easy to work with and very responsive. House has everything you would need to stay for a longer stay. Neighborhood is very quiet and close to downtown. Will stay here again.
