The good... Property was great, just a few steps away from the great beach in Prov.Host was great for communication and assisted in several ways. Overall the stay was great. Lots of items at the property to enjoy, bikes, kayak, laundry roomThe bad... but the previous guest did have a wet dog that stayed in the house which left a strong odor, Chet was able to assist in fixing this problem and have the odor removed without delay. There was also an electrical problem with one bathroom light and Chet made arrangements to have an electrician come and address the problem.

We had the most magical week at the Mutchmor house. Chet was very helpful and the location of the house couldn’t be better in the whole of North America. The house came equiped with paddle board, fire pit, and many activities for kids. Chet and pat left some wonderful gifts of coffee and cinnamon rolls. We couldn’t have been happier. Hope to stay there again next year!!

We had a very pleasant stay at Mutchmor House. We particularly enjoyed dining in the garden when the weather permitted. There’s a beautiful beach close by and some really good hikes on the island.
