Lovely Views
The house is cozy and lovely. We enjoyed the view. We wish we had been left more kitchen towels and maybe towels approved for wiping off patio furniture. It was impossible to complete the requested clean up with one kitchen towel. It rained until the last morning. It would have been nice to have been able to wipe down the furniture and actually spend time outside.

Good for One Family and Small Car
Good location close to convenience store to pickup supplies. Very tight parking for one car only and located on a downhill curve so careful!! Second car had to park at convenience store. Only one bathroom had a shower, not helpful for 4 adults. Strange second floor bathroom setup shared by two bedrooms. Didn’t see any of this in the write up or photos. Good for two adults and kids. Not good for 4 adults and two cars.

Character
This very old house has been beautifully renovated and simple, modern furnishings are perfect. For swimmers and mariners: private dock is on tidal river, and tricky for people and boats to get in the water; launch site is not near. Otherwise, loved it!
