Very clean and easy to access. We didn't use any of the outside decks or equipment due to very cold weather in November, but it looks really nice. My only advice would be there are maybe a little too many artificial flower arrangements and knick knacks in the family room area. We had to move things around to place our books, computer, drink glasses, etc . Located on a very quiet street and close to The Dragon system of trails, this place was the perfect get away for two!
This property is well kept and very clean. The kitchen was stocked with everything needed to cook and clean any meal with. It is tastefully decorated and the owners have been thoughtful with the things they provide to make your stay comfortable. We loved our stay!
Beautiful views, beautiful house enjoyed the peace and quiet. Kids enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boat. Even enjoyed the mink family that come out to play on the dock
The cabin was clean and inviting and just the right size. (Only two of us) The views from the deck are spectacular although the weather was cold and rainy.
Clean, cozy, well stocked cottage! We absolutely enjoyed our stay. The cottage was clean, well stocked, the view was beautiful, we enjoyed the deck in the morning amd patio at night! It was very pieceful and quite, which is exactly what we needed.
My fiance and I needed a break and I took his birthday as an excuse for a little trip. We had a very restful weekend and the cottage accommodated an easy stay-cation with the on-site facilities and nearby grocery for the necessities to stay in. The hosts even had some extra board games and a smores kit provided!
We loved the cabin/cottage it was freshly done. The deck was awesome, kitchen was fantastic. We loved the view from the the deck and the paddle boat and kayaks. The lake was beautiful saw bald eagle on three days and lost of herons. Town was cute and hosts were very helpful when we texted.
We had a marvelous time. The view from the cabin and deck is amazing. Well appointed and stocked. Beautifully updated and quiet neighborhood. Everything was perfect. Just what we were looking for on our relaxing birthday mini-vacation.
Beautiful view, cozy and clean. Availability of docks and kayaks is extraordinary, and we saw the resisent mink! Thanks for the s'mores and thanks for the memories!
The place was Beautifull place.
everything clean and relaxing.
stocked perfectly.
Bed was comfy.
Down by the docks needed cleaned, I was a bit disappointed with weeds, huge spider webs on the docks.no place to get in the boat or kyaks without getting in the 20' of water.
Overall the house was great.
The property is just as pictured! Very clean and nicely furnished. The owners have great communication and work hard to give their guests the best stay possible! This cabin is in a great location for any mountain bikers wanting to do the Dragon Trail! The cabin has a secure porch area perfect for bike storage. Although we didn’t utilize them, the cabin also has great kayaks and a paddle boat. Would definitely stay again!
Clean, newly redecorated, cozy with a wonderful view. Because it was rainy and cold, we weren’t able to enjoy the deck or the kayaks or paddle boat. But it’s so cozy that we found the view all we needed. Visit ‘Hit The Road Joe’! It’s a little quirky, cash only, but man is the food good! We went for 3 different meals in our 2 night stay, including the wood fired pizza Friday.One tip: if you enjoy reading, take a little reading lamp - the light in the bedroom and living room isn’t conducive, though the lamps are classy.
Peaceful area, quiet with a great view. The cottage is much larger on the inside than I was expecting even with the images! Everything was very clean, the amenities were unexpected but very appreciated! Owners’ replies to my few questions ahead of time were prompt and courteous. No unreasonable rules. And the location was essentially perfectly located for us. And a mink hangs out under the dock! That was fun to see. Would love to come back one day.
Only minor issue I had was getting properly hot water in the shower. After my girlfriend had showered and it worked I couldn’t seem to get that to work for me. Unsure if it was user error or something in the shower not working correctly. Didn’t detract from the experience at all.
