November-14 2024Anne's place was wonderful for our group. We all had plenty of room to spread out and the giant dining table and living room furniture were great when we all wanted to be together. We also appreciated the beautiful view and porch to drink our morning coffee, and fire pit to enjoy every evening. Having the extra apartment over the garage was perfect for me (the chaperone) so I could have a little bit of separation from my group and privacy. It was a fantastic trip!

January-14 2025comfortable and very familiar. Beautiful landscapes, a supermarket very close. A lake in the backyard. Precious. We would surely come back

January-14 2025Anne's house was perfect for our use case of a working retreat. There were plenty of bedrooms and separate areas, and hooking up to the main TV through an HDMI cable was easy for presentations. The internet worked well, and the kitchen was generally well-stocked, albeit with the typical confusing organizational system of a rental. It was bitterly cold while we were there, so we spent much of our time inside. The home was cozy, and the beds were comfortable. This house has some evidence of being a rental in terms of needed maintenance (a potentially dangerous broken floor vent under the kitchen table, for example). Still, it was excellent in terms of value for the money. I will echo previous reviews stating that the water's sulfur odor renders it unusable for drinking/cooking. The general store down the driveway had bottled water gallons, which we relied on, but a mini carboy could be filled at a grocery store. Having a starter water supply when we arrived would have been nice.

June-12 2024Anne’s house was perfect for our family vacation. Plenty of room for the 16 of us, including children aged 16 to 2. Anne was very responsive before, during and after our visit. Our son left something behind and she was very helpful getting it returned. The only disappointment was the water wasn’t as swimmable as we hoped; but we enjoyed the kayaks and canoe.

September-18 2024Great house for a guys college reunion. Plenty of dining space for 15 people. Nice screened in porch. Lots of bathrooms, especially important for a group of 70 somethings. Kitchen well equipped with a great utility sink for cleaning oysters. Hostess Anne prompt communicator. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay

May-22 2024Our house was perfect for our trip. We were in the area for our daughter’s wedding, and it was better than trying to get hotel rooms for 16 people. There were other wedding guest who stayed in houses but none of them had as great experience as we had. Anne was very responsive and helpful to make sure our stay was problem-free. We will definitely stay there again if in the area again.

December-19 2024A perfect retreat for our annual Friendsgiving trip! The house had just what our group of 14 needed - large gathering places for all of us to make new memories together yet separate spaces for us to relax and unwind. The kitchen was well stocked for the big dinner, and the toiletries, linens, and household supplies being provided was so helpful and convenient! The backyard does turn into a marsh, but that was also part of the fun for our group. There is plenty of yard that stays dry for any yard games you may want to bring and play. Many in our group also enjoyed the cheesesteaks and fries from the general store that was just a walk away. Anne was very responsive and helpful making this an easy trip!

January-10 2025This was our second time staying at Anne’s place, and it was perfect for our large group once again. The fact that 14 people can all share a meal around a table is such a gift. The beds were comfortable, and the house had all that we needed for an enjoyable stay. I do agree with the reviewer who mentioned that the water smelled like sulfur. We did not want to drink it, and there wasn’t a working filter in the refrigerator, so we killed the environment a bit with our excessive amount of plastic water bottles. Fortunately there is a market very close by.

February-04 2025Charming, clean, and comfortable stay! Anne’s place is in a beautiful location and it is very peaceful. She was very responsive and instructions were very clear. I will definitely visit again in the summer time.
