Just what we needed

My teen had a break from school so we rented this lovely quiet home on the lake for five days. Another teen from the school joined us as well and we all enjoyed the peace and tranquillity the place provided. Even though it was a bit cold outside, the kayaks were used when the water was calm. The heating was easy to use as well as the various kitchen items, tv, etc. It’s a very user friendly common sense home. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfection

This quaint cottage, mere steps from a crystal clear lake, exceeded our expectations in every way! Homey and comfortable interior (well equipped kitchen, good beds with vast array of pillow options, fun game cupboard) combined with terrific amenities outside (patio furniture, expansive dock, hammock, beaches, Adirondack chairs and nice kayaks), made for a perfect stay. Rosa was lovely to communicate with, and flexible as Colby College switched the dates of parents wkend on families this year. Can’t wait for a repeat visit, what a truly special property.
