This property was exactly as we hoped it would be: a modern rustic home in a secluded location, with great hiking, swimming and paddling nearby. The house is clean, well-stocked, and open and designed to take full advantage of gorgeous lake and forest views, perched above the lake edge with easy access to the lake for canoeing and fishing (both of which were excellent). We ate every meal on the phenomenal screened porch, gazing out at the lake through the pines and birches. The owners were very helpful and gave us excellent tips on outings with our kids. My parents stayed in the apartment above the garage and found it beautifully decorated and equally well-provisioned. The area is ideal for hikes, such as Baker and St Regis. And nothing beats paddling into town for ice cream straight from your own dock. Added pluses for kids: a raspberry patch for young foragers, a bonfire circle near the lake for s’mores, and an open lawn for games. All in all a truly exceptional stay!
