This was the perfect spot for our multi-generational family getaway. There were things to do for all of our family members (23 -83 years old). The house, built in 1900, is comfortable, spacious and built for recreation. Very “comfy, homey vibe”. It felt like we were at my great-aunts house. We really appreciated having so many beds to choose from. Although we didn’t need all of them, some were more comfortable than others. I specifically chose this listing because of the private pier and kayaks. We didn’t need to use the sailboat because we brought our own boat, but I thought it was a nice option. Since it’s jellyfish season, we fished, crabbed, kayaked and boated. At night, we enjoyed the ping pong table, fire pit and board games. Nice variety of wildlife nearby. Deer, terrapins, snapping turtles , fish and crabs were all around. When we needed a pot to cook the crabs in, the property manager was kind enough to deliver it within 10 minutes. This was definitely a great choice for our family.

We really enjoyed our stay at this property while visiting the area for Christmas. This older home with lots of charm was like spending the night at Grandma's house. We really liked that the interior was kept as original as possible with lots of wood and the antique appliances worked well. The waterfront property has great views and the we really appreciated the Christmas decorations that made it feel like home. We also enjoyed playing Christmas music on the 1920s player piano. The dining area was very spacious and great for Christmas dinner. We enjoyed playing the available games since we were inside a lot with the low teens temperatures outside. With a few minor improvements, I would consider this property perfect although none of these would prevent us from renting the property again. The HVAC struggled to keep up with the abnormally cold weather on the 1st floor. This could have been alleviated if the fireplace had been working (or better yet, a gas fireplace) One of the bathroom sinks had low water pressure. The seating while plentiful could be more comfortable.

It is water front with awesome view. The landscape and house are both beautiful. Kayaking is the best of all the places where we have ever been, because it has calm water in the lake and open view in river. The parking lot is big and flat, good for aerobics and basketball. The owner is approachable and quick to respond. We had wonderful time there.
