The property was as described in the listing, lovely inside and outside with everything you could possibly need for your stay. The kitchen, bedrooms and laundry room are fully equipped, and there are plenty of games, toys and activities for both adults and children. Comfy beds. The water in the lake is clean and clear. The boat ramp was a plus for us.There is a paddle board and 2 kayaks. (Canoe was not usable as the seats had deteriorated.)TV shows are limited with service as is. During our stay, the close neighbor's barking dogs came right over to the house for frequent visits. Although they seemed friendly, it was a little unsettling, especially for our small grandchildren. There are ceiling fans in 4 of the 5 BRs, along with box fans. No A/C. On a hot day the upstairs air temperature was close to 90, right into the evening. Especially heated is the Grand Room. The BR downstairs is coolest, although it doesn't have a ceiling fan. We forfeited our last day here as the temperature was too high in the house on unusually hot June days.The entrance into the water is soft sand, fun for the little ones to play by the shore, but 3-4 feet into the water you are sinking into an inch or two of mud and leaves. You may want to wear water shoes when wading & swimming here. Small grocery store is 15-20 minutes away, Hannaford is about 1/2 hour away. Despite the heat, our stay was a good one. Thanks, Rachel.

As always we had a great time here. This was our 3rd stay here and we always look forward to coming back. It’s very quiet and relaxing and the neighbors are great!!

The road to the house was a dirt road with many dips then turned into a paved road with a few frost heaves but it brought us to the house. The house was as described with a view of the pond, a nice patio and deck, the bathrooms upstairs and a large kitchen family area.
I really only have two issues, there was an ant issue in the kitchen as well as little gnats, bug spray and ant traps did little to help. The other issue was the laundry room, it is very deceiving as the door is level with the landing but when you open the door there are two steep and narrow stairs, no warning, no railing, my husband fell because of this onto the concrete floor, breaking five ribs. As I looked around after the incident I notice rebar sticking up from the floor which could have made things worse. So needless to say we spent two days at a hospital that was 45 minutes away. The vacation was still wonderful as my children and grandchildren enjoyed the pond fishing, swimming and kayaking.
I guess my biggest disappointment was the fact that when I did text the owner on our last day to let her know and to make a suggestion about putting a sign on the laundry room door I received no response at all.
