Waterfront Access Homes | Sleeps 12 + Dog-Friendly

We had a great experience and the host was very responsive to any questions along with extra amenities provided (kayaks and floating mat). Neighbors were also friendly. Thank you so much!

We had a great experience

We stayed for a long weekend for a ski trip in February. The pond nearby was completely frozen. I’d never seen anything like that and we walked on it for a little bit, so beautiful.There are two cabins included in this stay and they are right next to each other. Perfect for if your large group has a “stay up late” and a “early sleeper” split. There were many board games in the honeymoon cabin, which we enjoyed perusing. They were a little stingy on toiletries, but it didn’t bother us as we brought our own. The cabin has many rules but they are all listed plainly in the description and rule book - the number one being to bring your own drinking water. The only thing that did bother me is that the heater (I think) in the bedroom made noise at night while I was sleeping - I am a light sleeper but my husband didn’t hear a thing. The king mattress was amazing though.Overall we had an awesome stay, and I bet this cabin looks amazing in all seasons.

long weekend for a ski trip in February.

Two nice, clean cabins on a very pleasant pond / lake. You are close to the neighbors, but it was quiet, even on Labor Day weekend. Both cabins are well appointed with indoor and outdoor seating. The kitchens are light on cooking gear. But overall a good stay.

Had a great time here! It’s a small pond but everyone in the area was extremely friendly! The rental company, Pond Life, was great to work with too. Very attentive with great communication.

Had a great time here!

We spend the New Year eve and New year at this beautiful pond house. The view is incredibly amazing and the host reply to our question and concerns immediately. The cabin had left us unforgettable memories.
