Perfect for a relaxing week. Cottage was simple but comfortable and plenty roomy for the two of us. Screen porch overlooking the river got a lot of use.
A nice surprise was all the conservation land on the island open to the public. I found out about this online— It would be nice to let guests know about this great resource and provide a map! Great kayaking nearby, but no access from the cottage itself. Boat landing at the end of the peninsula and the town landing worked fine.
The description listed a DVD player, but there was just a satellite cable box. No big deal for us, but just wanted to note. A fire pit was also listed but we couldn’t find it. We made a fire in the charcoal grill and that was fine.
We had a nice bike ride down a dirt road in Arrowsic just over the bridge, but if you bring bikes, know that the main road has fast traffic and no shoulder.
If you hike, bring headnets and long sleeves. Mosquitoes were fierce (even in early September) and DEET bug spray got ignored. Bugs weren’t bad around the cottage, though.
Beautiful island, great classic lobster place at five islands harbor, lots to do and see nearby, or just read, relax and watch the tide. Overall a great week!
