About this house rental

This is Hilton's Pinewood, Large family home almost a century old and only 2 blocks from Point Breeze Beach. This home is NOT directly on the lake. Built in the 1930's as a summer retreat. Over the years a room was added on the front, both porches closed off and a master suite added as a 2nd Floor. The downstairs bedroom and the upstairs bedroom have window A/C units. Very small kitchen with older appliances.

*Note the property in not usually rented during the winter months due to a small leak in the roof. The lawn is also not maintained during the winter months, however the dog run is still usable.*

My grandparents retired there and enjoyed working in the gardens for their last 25 years. They enjoyed sharing it with other families when they weren't living there and I want to continue that tradition. It is decorated with family antiques and hasn't changed much in the last 30 years, so it is like a visit to your grandparents house.
It is only a 5-10 minute walk to Point Breeze Beach. Connors and Evans Town Park are each about 2 miles away. Large yard with a fenced in dog run, overgrown gardens and goldfish ponds. There is a fire pit in the yard and a couple of charcoal grills available for renters, buy your own charcoal. Some of the decking around the house is showing some wear and tear, hoping to get it fixed soon. This is a quiet neighborhood with yearlong residents surrounding our property.

Home has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. New mattresses in 2 of the bedrooms. Sleeps 6. Rustic charm with original cabin details. Bathroom on first floor is very small. Upstairs bathroom much more spacious. Older carpet through most of home. Ceiling fans upstairs and down. Our family still uses it so it is stocked with dishes, general supplies and we sometimes keep food in the refrigerator.

Parking for 2 cars in front paved driveway. Includes Wi-Fi, Roku stick with Netflix, Disney, HULU and HBO+. DVD player and small assortment of movies provided.

This home is not updated and has only recently been converted to a part-time rental property. There are the same dishes that my family has used for 50 years in the cupboard. The carpets have stains in spots, but have been professionally cleaned. There is a water stain on the ceiling in the bedroom from an old leak that has been fixed for years. Please be aware that this home is used by members of my family in between rentals. We clean it thoroughly before each guest arrives.

Great place to stay for Gaston.

Quick easy walk to a great little beach. My family and our dogs loved it. Two beach bars, one had some great live music we could hear from the yard but we walked down to the beach with the dogs to enjoy. Not on the water but you're trading that view for extra space and privacy. Comfortable beds, plenty of space for family to share a meal and watch a movie. This is obviously a space used by families and for me, staying with kids and dogs, it feels relaxing. The upstairs bed room is large - comfortably accommodated 2 large dog crates while leaving plenty of space - and the ensuite bathroom clean and roomy. Kitchen is serviceable but small. We had fantastic wings and pizza from Marias. The Toasted Hog had great burritos and tacos. Connors hot dogs was a hit for a quick lunch. And the food at Aunt Millies was really good - but oh man the baked goods are amazing!

Snowmaggon hit the area right before our stay, but everything was perfect. The house was exactly as described and very nostalgic and a mix of both my grandparents hones from growing up in the area. The location us perfectly located, everything we needed at the home, and traveling with our pups. Only wish we could enjoy some of the outdoor activities as the gardens and ponds look amazing! But so thankful we had a well dug out parking space,! So appreciative for that effort! (I remember and absolutely do not miss the freak lake effect storms and the amount of snow that accumulates so quickly!) The owners kept in touch to keep us informed of the storm and accommodations. Loved being able to walk the pups around the neighborhood, they enjoyed some snow, and still had every comfort to relax.
