Fall seeker

We enjoyed our stay very much. We did not use the water activities due to weather, but we went for the cool tempertures and fall leaves. Tom is great and available for any questions. We had no problems, but felt that if we did Tom was within reach. There was wood to enjoy a fire which was very nice. Next time we will need a few more days. Lynn

Great location

Me and my family stayed and would definitely stay again it’s on a nice quite cove on the lake. There is and brand new dock perfect to bring your boat i looked for reviews about boats fitting at many rentals on highland with not much info but my 24 foot bow rider had no issues fitting or with depth here at his dock and still plenty of room for the kids to swim when docked

Wonderful week on the lake

We loved how calm and peaceful this home was; we took many trips to get ice cream, visit the general store, went to Sunapee for a day of summer activities, and relaxed on the sun porch, deck and boats on the lake. Such a great vacation! Thank you!
