The house is simply beautiful and comfortable with ample space to spread out and relax. The kitchen will impress even serious cooks. The grounds and water views of sunrise and sunset are not to be missed. Truly a wonderful place to spend a weekend away catching up with old friends.

Beautifully restored and decorated historic home with waterfront views of both the sunrise and sunset. Very quiet area, perfect if you love the peaceful sights and sounds of the water and many species of birds. Even the trees are spectacular! Loved the screened porch and fire pit area. Our host even provided everything necessary for s’mores.
