The living is easy at this beautifully designed, 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom vacation rental cottage in Great Pond. Nap in the hammock by the shore, grill on the expansive furnished deck, dine on the screened-in porch, lounge by the gas fireplace, and soak in the hot tub — all while the little ones have a blast playing in the treehouse-like loft. Make memories of fishing on the spring-fed lake, stocked with trout, and roasting hot dogs or marshmallows around the fire pit!

The house was everything pictured and more. It's well-established, but very modern. Although the weather was cold and windy part of our visit, we felt comfortable and relaxed. The lake is pristine and my grandson loved taking the paddle boat out with his grandpa. The landscaping was really luxurious and planted carefully to grow in place for the future. Hummingbirds entertained us from our seat in the hot tub and the floral fragrance was an added bonus. The kitchen is well equipped, and the appliances including a gas range were perfect. The beds were comfortable, but the loft space was so small our grandson at 5'4" couldn't stand upright. The bathroom is a little outdated with a spa garden tub and a shower stall as opposed to a larger shower and smaller more usable tub. The drive to the house is a couple of miles off the beaten path, yet the road is fully occupied with landowners and rental houses. It's a nice neighborhood, though quite remote, which is what we wanted.
This house has everything! Beautiful quiet lake! We enjoyed our time and the hot tub was amazing!
The property was as advertised. It is a beautiful cabin hidden in an amazing spot. The water access was great, kids loved the paddle boat, fishing off the pier, and swimming in the pond. There is nothing that I would change. Thank you for letting us stay at your house.

I don't know how the check in process usually occurs and maybe this was a fluke experience but I had not gotten a single message from VRBO or the property manager from day 1 of booking. I was expecting a full detailed check in process but got silence for months. My wife and I searched the area for 45- 60 min and finally met with a resident on the lake (very nice woman) who also agreed it was unacceptable that we got no special instructions especially on how to find the cabin. She was very courteous and led us to the cabin a short distance away.Once there, the cabin and experiences were amazing . We spent a lot of time at the lake and the sunroom. Bluetooth speakers in the home were very nice and easy to connect to. Cabin was fully stocked and well updated.Overall we would definitely revisit. Serenity
