Freeland

"Tucked away in the "One Hundred Acre Woods" this house sits right on the beach and is truly perfect for all ages! The sunsets are AMAZING. The fire pit sits right up off the beach and is angled just right to watch the beach, sunsets, and dogs running along the waterside. The hot tub reminded us a wine barrel, so of course we jumped right in while drinking our wine! ;) Deck was perfect, hot tub was awesome (even the kids loved it!), volleyball was fun, and we even partook in using the little dingy boat. We celebrated my step-dad's 60th birthday - we had a total of 13 people: 8 adults, 3 kiddos (ages 10 & 7), 2 toddlers (14 & 18 months), and one very happy dog! Everyone fit perfectly and we had zero complaints! Well.... that's not true. The kids complained that they had a hard time making sand castles since the sand was a bit different from what they're use to, but they still attempted about 80 sand castles and they perfected the moat and seashell collecting, so the adults were happy. ;) 5 "bedrooms" total: three upstairs, one downstairs, and a den. I put bedrooms in quotes because the den is not technically a bedroom, but it should be considered one! It is away from the living room and the kitchen (where everyone hangs out), has an awesome mattress inside the couch, and has shutting doors! It is a nice big room with plenty of privacy and space. One bedroom with a queen sized bed downstairs with a private bathroom. Three bedrooms upstairs: One master bedroom (with a little bed underneath the window, so a little kid could sleep there!) with an AWESOME deck and telescope, another bedroom had 3 twin sized beds (perfect for kids -- not really adult sized), and the last bedroom had 2 queen sized beds. My husband, our baby, and my sister shared this room and it was perfect. ONE bathroom with a shower upstairs, ONE bathroom with a shower downstairs (this is the private bathroom to the bedroom), and ONE half bathroom downstairs. LOTS of room. Living room was huge, dining room table was big, kitchen is big with lots of counter space too. I went running every single day -- lots of places to go run. Just start running and turn either left or right onto Mutiny Bay road and you won't be disappointed. Deer, HILLS, waterfront, bunnies, and lots of beautiful scenery. We ate at: Patrons Mexican Food (good mango margaritas!), Charmers Bistro (highly recommend!), and Freeland Cafe (yummy mussels!). LOVED THE HOUSE AND THE OWNERS!"

"Martha was very nice and always responded quickly. We had a large group - 14 adults and 3 babies but all managed to find places to sleep and hang out! Lot of seating/room outside also, and we really enjoyed sitting around the campfire one night. Three bathrooms so we managed to make that work too! Our family was together for a wedding, and it had been quite some time since we had seen some family members so it was great to be all in the same place - instead of separate hotels/rooms. We had one location we could all be at! The only "criticisms" anyone had were that the house overall and the bathrooms especially could use some more lighting (I guess we missed a dimmer switch in one bathroom which may have made a difference). Also the house has wood floors and stairs that can be pretty noisy (of course so were 14 people). Martha did say it was a noisy house so can't say she didn't warn me! :) For most of us this was the first time using/staying at a vacation home and it was a great experience. Thanks again to Martha for making her place available."
