Flew in for our son’s college graduation in Manchester. It is a great house! Very clean and had everything you could possibly need. Very peaceful and relaxing, the boys used the kayaks and fished. The lake view is incredible. Would definitely stay here again, thank you for sharing your lovely home!

Wonderful Lakeside Family Vacation

Wonderful house with everything to relax and enjoy a lakeside family vacation. Great layout for gathering together and relaxing separately with so many comfy seating areas. Especially loved sunset kayaking, fireside s’mores and the new lakeside deck.
