This was our 2nd time having our large (19) family member gathering at this unique, wonderful house! The house easily accommodates a large group. Kitchen is well stocked with dishes, glassware, pans, utensils, 2 refrigerators, making it easy to feed a large group. They have access for canoes and kayaks on a beautiful lake, a ping-pong table, and had badminton net set up...allowing activities for everyone. Ruth and Hanna were very helpful and easily available for any questions. The view/location of the house is outstanding. If you're looking for a truly New England experience and have a large group this is the place to stay!! Thanks Ruth/Hanna.

Great house for a large family gathering. We comfortably had 17 family members get together for a summer vacation. A large kitchen pantry area with 2 refrigerators was great for meal prep. The large table in dining room held all of us for dinners or we could move outside and fit everyone on the porch for evening meals. The lake was clean and boat house well stocked with floats, chairs and boats.
The views were outstanding and location great for multiple activities.
We loved our stay and Ruth was very accessible if we needed anything.
