Mike the host was wonderful & very accommodating from the start! He even asked what time we would arrive so he could turn on the heat ahead of time, which made such a difference! The home was very cozy & had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. I was also very happy that I was able to bring my service dog without any issues. He kindly allowed us a late checkout with a fee, but it was absolutely worth it!!! We truly didn’t want to leave, it was a wonderful stay! Would totally come back !

We had a great time here. The beds were comfortable, the lakes were perfect, and everyone was so nice. I definetly recommend Beach one which is within walking distance. There were 2 playgrounds and a concession stand there as well. We were a short drive from Lego land and it was just an hour to Newark from where we took the train to NYC. Would love to stay here again.

Good weekend getaway with the dogs

For the dogs: our dogs enjoyed the big fenced-in backyard. There's also a HUGE fenced-in dog run a few minutes drive away. For the humans: My wife and I enjoyed the gaming options (Xbox, Playstation, and an arcade machine). There's a nice little town a few minutes drive away, with a supermarket, CVS, and decent coffee and food options.

Great place to stay

I took my wife, 2 tweens, and our lab for a weekend ski trip and stayed at the cottage. Perfect size for us, big fenced-in backyard for our dog to roam around worry-free, and only minutes to the slopes. Owner was very responsive to an issue with the sheets which were resolved promptly.

Quaint Cottage with Great Backyard

For our small group, this was an ideal getaway for the Labor Day weekend. The backyard was fantastic, private and had everything we needed to enjoy the weekend. It was totally fenced in, so we could let our toddler run freely without worry. There was an amazing firepit we used both nights of our stay and lots of chairs and tables. Michael was an exceptional host and I would definitely book this property again.
