My wife and I along with 4 older kids stayed at this great island house for a week in early August 2018 and loved every minute!
The house is amazing. It was very roomy and comfortable for all 6 of us - we could spread out to do our own thing or gather in the living room or kitchen to play games, watch some TV or just hang out.
The furnishings and decor are all up to date with lots of little touches that make a big difference. The couch and chair in the living room are big and comfy, the beds were also comfortable and everything seemed well maintained.
The kitchen is very nice with everything we needed to cook meals and prepare snacks. There is a very large raised kitchen table where we ate and played games while enjoying a great view of the lake.
The master bedroom has a raised bed that allows a great panoramic view of the lake with a ceiling fan and its own full bathroom and hallway with a closet and large bureau for lots of storage. There is also a private wrap around deck with sliding door right off the bedroom.
In the basement there is a washer/dryer and another entrance to the back yard.
We spent a lot of time on the deck - the patio set is very nice and comfy. There are also rocking chairs on the side deck for a cooler option. The steps going down to the water are in great shape and are easy to navigate.
The beach area is sandy to begin with then gets rocky. The water is amazingly clean and refreshing ( temp was in the mid 70's I think ) and perfect for swimming. The dock is great for jumping into the water as well as getting some sun. The water is deep enough for diving into off some of the rocks and the dock, which we did all week :)
The lake itself is so beautiful, clean, clear and very deep in places. Lots of boat activity on the weekends, pretty quiet during the week. We did some exploring with the kayak and canoe but needed another week to see more of the shoreline and island.
Frye island is bigger than we realized and we have more to discover on our next visit. The general store / bar / ice cream place was handy to have and a couple of the beaches we visited were well maintained and clean. Check out Beach #6 for some amazing sunsets !! The ferry rides were quick & easy with no long lines.
The owners Elizabeth and Kent, were great as well. Very friendly, helpful and communicative. We would like to thank them both for sharing their amazing island home with us !!
The family unanimously decided to return next year :)
