Fantastic time at this house. The hosts had everything we needed there and it's was so comfortable to hang out insideand outside while being near anything we wanted in town or on the lake. Would definitely stay here again.

super clean, tidy, well appointed cottage at the lake! we had the best time!!! loved the views from the house, super comfortable beds, well appointed kitchen and thoughtful amenities!our only comments are that it is right on the main road and their is significant noise from the street. it did not deter us from a lovely stay, but something to note.the listing mentioned a sandy bottom swimm

beautifully maintained house with spectacularviews and right on the lake. Loved the house amenities- everything you could possibly wantwas right there.would have given this 5+ stars except fordifficulty of older family members not having easy access to the dock and downstairs bedroom( steep staircase inside) and no railings on steps to the dock( only access to water for swimming)only other drawback to house was its location on busy Rte 11- Mt Major highway..the bedroom fronting thst road was extremely noisyall night( unfortunately we didn’t see the“sound machine” in the room until we werecleaning up to leave. I’m sure it would have helped immensely)The waterfront side of the house was wonderful so private and peaceful.

We had a lovely stay, a bit disappointed that there were no paddle boards available as the listing said they were included (we would have brought our own). The location was gorgeous with a million dollar view but not an ideal swimming spot for kids, not easily accessible and the shallow area was rocky. My teens just jumped off the dock but it was deep on that side. Tons of nice touches like board games, books, cleaning supplies etc.. very well stocked. We would stay here again.
Very cute house, good location right on the lake. Yes it’s directly on the main road so be aware of that but that wasn’t any issue for us at all except that I did get heckled by someone driving by in a car while walking from the house to the car (not the owners fault just be aware haha.) Overall was a *very* cute place right on water with good views, but immediately upon entry it does have a musty smell and I have pretty serious allergies so we had to leave early as my head started pounding by day 2 there. I will also say only the downstairs master bed is comfortable for beds. We couldn’t sleep on the other double upstairs at all. I liked it a lot but unfortunately won’t return again.
