"We had a wonderful stay! We felt very comfortable and very welcomed in this beautiful piece of property. The listing was exactly as described. The fireplace created such a romantic ambience. The kitchen was fully equipped with anything that you would need to assist you in making a meal. All the appliances worked wonderfully. We would definitely stay here again."

"Two of us stayed on our first nite of a nine day motorcycle trip thru Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, New York and Maine.This was an ideal first night stay!! So near the lake and a few great restaurantsSteve the host was very communicative, we had NO glitches! I would stay there again tommorow!!"

"Beautiful spot with something for all ages"

"This is our second time staying here. We love it so much! The view is spectacular. The home is set up so there was plenty of room for my group of six to spread out. Can’t wait for next year!"

"The code didn't work when we arrived so check in wasn't great. Summer in NE is the time to be outdoors, but the deck of this house was literally rotting; the deck furniture was broken and only offered seating for two people. The home is on a shallow, dirty cove of water, full of yellow and brown algae. It does not look safe to swim in. The grass in front of the house was a foot tall and the back of the house is in desperate need of landscaping. The neighbors are very close and there is no privacy. Inside the house I came upon this mess in the shower and the owner's response was "It's still operable". Not "I'm sorry for the mess, would you mind cleaning it up for us"? The walls of the house are paper thin and you can hear everything. The decor is cheap and aged. The rudeness of the owner, Shawn, was the icing on the a miserable experience. When I reached out the first morning to tell him we would not be staying, he was argumentative and mocking. He has zero customer service skills and should not be dealing with the public. The photos on this listing looked good, but those photos are not reality. I have never had such a poor experience renting a cottage and hope I never do again. Steer clear!"

"Great view, wonderful lake!"
