Wow! What an absolutely beautiful, serene and relaxing vacation! The cabin is perfect - we enjoyed the large, open common spaces, like the living room and kitchen layout, and the privacy of the bedroom layout. Our family had lots of places to both gather and to enjoy some peace and quiet (perfect for the three teenagers we had on the trip!). The enclosed porch needs its own section of the review, though - we LOVED it!! We ate all of our meals at the huge dining table, enjoyed doing puzzles and playing games, and ended every evening out there relaxing together before bed. What an amazing space to enjoy the lake views, the loon calls and the serenity - all while staying bug-free! The cabin was also extremely clean and well-furnished.
Outside of the cabin itself, we enjoyed outdoor activities, especially fishing off the dock. We caught so many fish - over 30 total (I'm sure some repeats!) from the dock, and larger fish while kayaking right around the bend (to the left when leaving Boot Bay). We also enjoyed boating every day on the kayaks and paddleboards. While we brought our own lifejackets and rods, the cabin had an ample supply of these.
We also enjoyed a trip to the VIC, hiking at Owl's Head Mountain, the farmers' market in Keene on Sunday, shopping in Lake Placid, Donnelly's, dinner at Raybrook Brewery, and many other fun local experiences.
I would highly recommend a stay at Joe and Debbie's gorgeous cabin on Rainbow Lake!
