We attended a wedding close by and also explored around Massachusetts. If you like water sports this is definitely a great place to stay. The property was beautiful. It was very clean and updated. GPS was accurate. We had no problems but contacted owner and got a response almost immediately. Would highly recommend this property

My family could not have had a better stay. The accommodations were excellent. Everything we needed was included. The view of the lake and the comfortable patio furniture made for relaxing days. We kayaked, and boated the whole week. The sunsets were gorgeous.

When you go on vacation, you hope there will be a few high points – a pleasant house, a beautiful setting, a place to comfortably relax, and so on. What you don’t expect are actual moments of wonder. Our magical moment happened on our last morning. We were sitting on the back deck eating breakfast, when a blue heron landed on the dock then began a slow, elegant walk toward us. And it just kept coming closer and closer, right to the end of the dock, and kept approaching on the grass lawn. Then it stopped and stood there watching us, the sunlight off the lake setting it aglow. At last, it flew off toward the lake, vanishing in the sparkling light.This is a fantastic vacation spot. We loved the house, with comfortable chairs and sofas in front of every window, and even chairs on the two balconies, perfect for watching the lake. Everything was exactly as advertised, all of it even better than the excellent VRBO photos. Great kitchen, great beds, well-appointed bathrooms, on and on. Thank you for a splendid week, Mary and Jon.
