We spent a week here in late June 2025. The place is private and surrounded by nature, with many trees for birdwatching and relatively few neighbours. The house itself is well kept, everything worked as expected and was clean. The highlight is the sunken sitting area with lots of windows overlooking the trees and waterfront. The waterfront has a sandy beach with easy access for swimming. No dock, so not a place one would bring a boat to, but this wasn't an issue for our group. We canoed up and down the shore, with multiple sightings of fox, deer, bald eagles, cormorants, herons, loons, and mink. Definitely a place we will consider coming back to!
