As expected: Was as pictured (and in many cases, better. It’s a camp so we expected imperfections and wear in kitchen floor, unimproved bedrooms-though the master bedroom facing the water was lovely and fully finished. Kitchen had all we needed to cook every meal, along with grill which was in use many dinners. Shopping at Hussey’s is a fun experience and true grocery store about 20 mins to South China.
The living room is spacious over looking pond giving fantastic views of morning fog dissipating as sun rises (August). Humming birds frequent the feeder (follow internet instruction for safe feeding of these delightful friends). There was sufficient couch space for our family of four to spread out on rainy days for either moving watching (ample DVD collection) and dining room table offered space for us to play games; either of those provided or ones we brought ourselves.
Washer and dryer are in full working order and easy to operate.
Diving from dock isn’t advisable unless you are a strong jumper and dive outwards-both our sons cleared this and enjoyed it. We dock is wonderful, generally. We lay on the dock many evenings and saw some of the Perseid meteors.
in a two week span, there was very little noise from surrounding neighbors, the exception being one Saturday evening, where there was a fireworks display across the pond, as well as a function further down the pond with a DJ, but most sound ended by 9 PM
The pond was perhaps the biggest amenity and we spent most days swimming or paddling in the two sit – on kayaks provided. The loons on the pond were constant companions, both with their haunting songs at night as well as swimming nearby us as we swam or paddled.
As expected: No WiFi at this location-with Verizon call signal was possible in most locations. Broadband was possible in limited capacity in a couple of locations in the house and allowed for some streaming with a little buffering at times but variably workable.
on the whole, this was one of the best vacation rentals we’ve experienced in the last 20 years. Though not “fancy” it felt like a cherished home-one to which we hope to return soon. we are grateful to the owners and Vacasa, respectively, for their property and amenities as well as responsiveness to our questions.
