Very private and peaceful! We enjoyed the yard, the dock, and the campfire. There was lots of room to spread out and enjoy the property.

Check in was easy. The kitchen was extremely well stocked down to a lobster pot to our delight.The setting is beautiful and we very much enjoyed the two level deck. There is a bit of a hike to get to the river. All and all a very peaceful relaxing location. We had 9 adults and 4 children and were very comfortable.

The house was large enough for what we needed (4 couples and 4 grandkids!) for quiet times. And there were many areas we could comfortably meet together as a family. The property is huge and we loved the firepit, pool, dock and kayaks. We will be returning next year!
