Rough start
We arrived and looked on the door for the “keyless entry”. None was found. Had to drive back into town to get cell service to call our property manage. She then explained that there is a lockbox on the back of a post that contained the house. We drove back to the place (on rutted road) and got in just fine.
However, it was very cold with no instructions on how to turn up the heat. Made another call to property manager and she explained there was a remote that controlled both heat and air. There was nothing in the house that explained it.
The main level did heat up fine after that, the basement never did.
Some of the dishes were dirty.
I wish there was a dishwasher.
When we turned on the tv, there were flashing colored lights all around the screen that we could not turn off. The was a separate remote that controlled lights, I think, but I believe the button battery in that remote was dead.

Beautiful home, quiet and remote waterfront getaway
The property was clean and accurately represented in the listing. The water in the pond was very clean and pleasant for swimming. Lots of space for 6 people, well stocked with towels etc. and some very nice kayaks with paddles in good shape. The pond and neighborhood are very quiet. Fireflies all over & very dark skies for stargazing.
I would say that the only two things I would have liked to have known in advance are 1) the internet is quite slow, zero cell svc, we did manage to stream Netflix just fine but live streaming is challenged (tried to watch the NBA draft, presidential debate, almost impossible). It’s really only good for one TV streaming at a time, and I drove to Dunkin 30 mins away to take a zoom meeting because I really don’t think the internet could have handled it. I would have thought twice about keeping my meeting if I’d known. It’s a remote area with DSL only, so anyone needing to work at all should know that. I managed. 2) the last mile of road to the house is kinda rough, dirt and gravel with potholes. I have an SUV and I did fine but 2 in my party have cars lower to the ground and it was tough on their cars. my husband ended up with a flat on his way home and I don’t fault the road necessarily for that, but make sure your tires are in good shape before making the trek…if they’re close to needing replacement, do it before your vacation. It’s remote, so much of this is to be expected, just be aware. :)
The hosts were nice and available for ?s.

Great getaway
We loved staying here! It was absolutely beautiful, very well stocked and the property manager was phenomenal. The only thing that I would have changed was the stove, the burners would sometimes just stop producing heat but other than that, it was perfect!!
