Whether you want to lounge in the sand after a swim in the lake or sit by the fire with a good book, this is the place for you. The wood finishings and charming decor will allow a total of 12 guests to feel right at home the moment they enter this space.

For a bit of fun, grab a board game and enjoy some friendly competition before dozing off to recharge for more fun days ahead!

Disliked: Cleanliness
Surprised :(
the location is wonderful. The property has no grounds as the whole yard is taken up in weeds and poison ivy. No place to play games etc. There is no place to actually sit outside. The lake is across M22 and it is a nice place to spend time. The house itself is ancient (100 years old). The first floor bath is tiny and grimy. Almost every room on the first floor has a small unmarked step up or down. I fell once but luckily caught myself on the back of the couch. The kitchen was large and had lots of room for supplies. We loved the beach although we didn't know we had to cross M22 to go there each time. The lake was wonderful.
