If you're looking for the quintessential cabin on a gorgeous lake experience - this is it! The cabin is _a cabin_! It is rustic (though there are heaters and fans), with the bare essentials (no laundry, but we hand-washed, and it was fine). Do not expect more! With that said, it is clean with the necessities. I don't know what the other complainer was on about - they obviously never stayed in a cabin on a lake before. The walls "don't go all the way up" is a normal lake cabin. They are privacy screens only. It's a summer camp, not meant for winter living. The water was clean, potable with no odor. The beds were single mattress (do not expect hotel quality). If you do not want to bring a ton of stuff, there is a Hannaford within 20 minutes, Shaw's nearby and lots of other places to get essentials. The host provides a comprehensive list of things you'll want - Pay Attention! You will want all of those things, plus ingredients/spices if you want to prepare meals yourself, which we did and loved it. They had all the major utensils and an adequate grill. Jordan's store is literally a two minute walk across the street. The kids loved popping over there for treats and souvenirs. Ok - The Lake! OMG. The water was PERFECT. My request for this trip was "Epic Swimming". Nailed It! The water was clear, refreshing, just the right chill getting in , and glorious spending 2-3 swimming sessions every day. The property has it's own tiny beach which was perfect for the littles, ages 8 & 5, (you might want water shoes, but we ditched those after a couple of days when they learned how to navigate the rocks). Definitely bring flipflops for the walk between cabin and beach. The dock is HIGH, but the sand at the bottom served well for dock jumping! All in all, we could not have asked for a better stay. A plus, and completely unexpected pleasure - our neighbors were a delight! <3 Highly recommend!
