The view from the porch to the Lake was incomparable, when the waves were washing up to shore, it could be heard in the house and lulled us all to sleep. We enjoyed watching the ships go by and the multitude of wildlife that was around us from the various birds, to the deer and the bunnies that we saw on a daily basis. The host reminded us to bring towels and that would have been easily missed in our packing. I wish she had reminded us to bring washcloths, but those were easily purchased at the Dollar store just minutes away. We hit the ice cream shop in Port Hope multiply times and had fun at the local farmers market over the weekend. We didn't have time to use the grill, but found the kitchen fairly well stocked in pots and pans and utensils. We enjoyed the use of the telescope. Our second time in this house and would return again.
