Cabin was misrepresented in upkeep and cleanliness. We’re from Vermont and very familiar with the charm and quirks of New England nature. We fully embrace the camp vibe and vintage feel of the home. However, several issues we encountered seem to go beyond rustic charm and into areas of disrepair:All air conditioning units had visible black mold inside the vents, could see mold on units outside, and they emited an unpleasant smell when turned on.There were no screens in the windows of the front bedroom, so could not open them for ventilation.The window above the kitchen sink was non-functional and did not open.Two burners on the stove were non- functional.Damp, dirty towels were left in the hamper upon our arrival. There was a large tear in the kitchen screen (behind the kitchen table), possibly caused by a pet.The tile leading into the back bedroom and in front of the fireplace was significantly damaged, with sharp edges and uneven surfaces.

Cozy and relaxing

The cabin is super cozy and we felt right at home. This is just what we needed for some r&r that wasn’t too far from where we live. The cabin is located on a secluded street and the neighbors were super friendly. The lake was less than 5 minutes away by walking. The view was beautiful and we enjoyed sitting on the docks. Would definitely recommend staying here.

This was the worst VRBO experience I have ever had. The property was falsely listed as "lake front" and "lake view" it is neither. The property was overgrown and the cabin was run down, delapidated and a serious safety hazard on many levels. This property needs extensive repairs before it should be allowed to participate as a VRBO rental.I experienced a fall in the living room when I stepped into a sunken area in the floor where broken and missing portions of a stone hearth were hidden by a throw rug. I fell against the stone fireplace and tore skin from my hand and elbow. The first aid kit in the cabin didn't even have a bandaid in it. On further examination there was another area outside the bathroom with broken and missing floor tiles that had also been covered with a throw rug. Other safety issues include broken boards on the hand rail of the entrance ramp that are sticking up with protruding screws. There are also floor boards on this ramp that are not secured that pose a huge tripping hazard. Another serious safety issue is the kitchen faucet and shower fixture both put out only hot water no matter which way you move the lever posing a scalding hazard.

Such a great host, good communication throughout, perfect little lake cottage with lots of privacy in a quiet, quaint community. Close to the lake and pretty central for venturing out to explore CT. The personal touches puts this host over the top...coffee, toiletries, fenced in area for pets, kayaks on the property with life vests...even towels and a beach blanket!

This is a comfy, rustic cabin. It was so much better than staying in a hotel, as we cooked our meals, washed laundry, had more privacy with two bedrooms and saved a lot by chosing this. There was plenty of room for my son and his friend to visit us.

All though the cabin wasn’t exactly how the pictures on the website looked, we did have a great time and I did recommend to several of my colleagues and we figured it must’ve looked like that when they first purchased it , because now a lot of things need updating/repairing ,but overall such a charming cozy cabin

Two days and three nights of rain.

We are an elderly couple in our eighties and appreciated the extra touches. Clean and comfortable. The cabin is old but done over nicely. It is small and since it rained the entire time we watched a lot of tv which offers a lot of options. Good food locally.
