Summary of reviewsGuests had a wonderful time at The Manse with family and friends, enjoying the large cottage, beautiful views, spacious kitchen, and outdoor activities like boating and swimming. The wrap-around porch was a favorite spot for all to gather and relax.

This stay was a Father’s Day present to myself to have all my children and grandchildren all together under one roof. The first two days were somewhat rainy but that’s not a complaint because in introduced us to the magical porch. We spent most of our time playing all sorts of games, mostly on the ping pong table and it was so peaceful sitting on the porch listening to the rain while staying dry and enjoying the views while under the glow of the night lights. We all enjoyed the beach, even when it was raining. The grandchildren were thrilled to be able to pick out their bedrooms, trading with each other until all were happy with their choices. In conclusion, the MANSE was everything I wanted it to be and hopefully we’ll all get to spend time there again.

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.
