Lovely
The view is lovely & yard well manicured. The gazebo & patio are very nice. The owners are super respectful, which is appreciated. Most everything was quite clean. The banana bread, waters, coffee & creamer were very nice touches. The decore was wonderfully eclectic. I did have a nice time hiking and going through the antique shops. Loved having a little face time with your corgies. The price point cannot be beat. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home.

Wonderful hosts and property
Stayed here for my 40th wedding anniversary. Gary and Nick were wonderful hosts and very gracious. The house was immaculate and very comfortable to to stay in. The views are killer enjoyed our first night sitting by the fire pit and looking at the lake. Unfortunately we had the very windy Saturday because of the hurricane that was coming through. Would definitely stay there again. 100% recommend this listing. Thanks again Gary and Nick for a wonderful weekend.

Nice relaxing trip
Enjoyed the stay at Gary and nicks. House was clean and as described. Rustic in a good way. Has the essentials you need. Reminds me of a traditional New Hampshire/Maine lake house or larger cottage. Back yard right on the lake was extremely well kept and peaceful. Only suggestion I’d really have is although the large windows outlooking the water is an amazing view. It would’ve been nice to have some curtains or drapes on the windows. Will absolutely consider renting from them again next year for our yearly trip.

Relaxing place
This was a relaxing little apartment to stay in off the beaten path. The little apartment was connected to the owners home by locked doors. However, we felt totally secluded as if we were in our own separate cottage. The queen size bed was in a loft with a very low ceiling, as the home was only one and a half stories. We could not stand up in the bedroom. The stairs were also very steep and narrow. It worked well for us to keep our luggage on the lower level. The living area was huge. Our favorite was the outdoor gazebo where we could relax in the morning with coffee or in the evening. The kayaks were very nice and clean and easy to use. The lake was peaceful. The owners keep an immaculate property with beautiful flowers and plays all around. The gas grill for our private use was great! We enjoyed the local brewery and pizza place. Northwood Meadows State Park was very close and great for hiking. We hiked the NALMC trail which was 5.7 miles.

Lake getaway
The house has a separate apartment and it is right on the lake. Guests have use of a rowboat and two kayaks. We used the kayaks and enjoyed paddling around the lake. The bedrooms are in a loft area with a slanted ceiling so you had to be careful not to bang your head. Gary was very nice and answered promptly when I asked for the WiFi password. They provided dishes, pots and pans, some bottled water, half & half and sugar, and some spices. My husband and I would definitely stay here again.

Peaceful and tranquil Lake setting
We had a lot of rain but it was great to be right on the lake and also great to have usage of the row boat and kayaks for fishing (mostly small mouth bass)...I wouldn't consider this lake totally ideal for small children/swimming but it was definitely clean and quiet and a lot of that could have had to do with the rainy weather. the grounds were immaculate and you can tell there is pride of ownership from the beautifully manicured lawn and flowers to the clean interior. The second floor was challenging to sleep in as you could not stand and it got a little hot up there and felt crowded so I could see where that might not be ideal for some people looking for more space.... I would consider it more of a loft. overall we had fun, there was a lot to do in the area (Chucksters, antiquing, brewery, restaurants, etc) and we saw brilliant 4th of July fireworks. Hosts were on onsite but you wouldn't even know with the way the house was set up up so that was zero issue they were really respectful of privacy and kind. I saw a review about the noise/highway and wanted to note that it was definitely not a big deal and the house was not on the main road.... felt private enough. Thanks for having us!!!!!

Perfect escape!
The place was super cute and soooo relaxing! Gary and Nick were great and let us be as we enjoyed our time but helpful when we needed them. This was the perfect short escape where we enjoyed fishing on the lake and just time away from home. Highly recommend this to anyone.

Beautiful Getaway
A very beautiful setting, with the lake right at your back door. It's a very quiet and tranquil setting which we certainly enjoyed. There are a number of places to venture out and see all within 30-60 minutes depending on how far you want to go. My wife and I had a wonderful stay and I think as long as you know that the bed is up in the loft, you should be fine. There are plates, utensils, pots/pans if you would like to cook and a large TV with various streaming options for entertainment. Gary and Nick were wonderful hosts and it was a pleasure to stay and meet them both.

Not quite as advertised
The setting is beautiful and the kayaking is great. But the noise of the traffic outside on the main road and the dogs barking constantly when the owners were not there detracted from the experience. The upstairs loft bedrooms are very tight and challenging to get to- ceilings are very low and on one side you have to crawl to get to the bed (though kids would love it.)
