The night before I got a call from the property owner and had a nice conversation. He mentioned going away so I said I could come early around 3:00 (check in was 4:00). When I arrived at 3:00 he said he was on a business call and that check in was at 4:00 I mentioned the phone call the night before so I said it must have been a miscommunication so we left to return at 4:00 . Five minutes later he called and said could I come back at 4:30 ( now I’m upset) so I said I’ll be there at 5:00. Arrived at 5:00 and he still wasn’t ready to leave. We (my sister and brother-in-law whom dropped me off) waiting in the backyard and 15 minutes later he gave me the keys and left. The best part of the stay was the view of the lake.
Our stay at this charming getaway home was everything we had hoped for…the furnishings, the personal touches including artwork were welcoming and we felt like James was sharing his home with us…We grilled on the deck and fished till our hearts content…
Thanks for sharing James…We’ve already booked a return visit!
Cute little house with everything you need right on the lake. I enjoyed using my kayak out on the lake and relaxing on the shoreline and deck of the house. I've never been to Guilford before but the area was beautiful with the coast being a short drive away along with historic houses.
We had an amazing stay at this Lake cottage! Perfect retreat as we visited family. James was a wonderful host. Much needed rest and relaxation in the perfect location.

Rustic Getaway
To be completely transparent it felt as though we were simply going into someone’s house unprepared for guests. My wife told me about some rather dirty areas along with cobwebs that she cleaned. The refrigerator and freezer were dirty and filled with owner’s food, condiments, etc.. On the outdoor grill there was a sheet pan that was covered in leftover food drippings. And then the sheets on the bed were stained. Was not a pleasant experience and left after the first night.
