Great property and hosts

Charming, cozy, and clean cottage perched on the shores of Smith Pond. Excellent accommodations in a stunningly beautiful and peaceful location. The Allens were kind enough to allow us to invite our family of 8 adults and 2 children and 1 dog to share the day with us at the cottage. We had a terrific, fun family day enjoying this wonderful property!

The cottage was just as described and our visit was just like those that had gone before-quiet (except for the loons) and restful. The second day we found out we weren’t very far from restaurants, grocery stores and gas stations so everything we might need was within a reasonable driving distance. Thoroughly enjoyed the peacefulness and lack of traffic noise at the cozy cottage.

Great weekend get away

We loved our stay at the cottage, and although the weather wasn’t very cooperative, we had a lovely time playing board games and watching movies. There’s plenty of great options for going on walks and hikes. The cottage itself is lovely and there are so many opportunities to disconnect and enjoy nature and good company

Relaxing Waterfront Property

My wife, six-year old granddaughter, Labrador Retriever, and I thoroughly enjoyed our three-night stay at Smith Pond. The location is beautiful and the cabin was clean and comfortable. We took a rowboat out on the water one afternoon. They also have a kayak that is available. The kitchen had everything we needed and the fire pit was perfect for making s’mores. We highly recommend this cabin.

Nice location, clean, owner very accessible Sheets, towels, check out procedure- unreasonable!!!Wash, dry, fold, put away sheets on morning you leave- absurdDishwasher- clean and put away??Can’t use firepit even though it’s not an open fire and it’s in the front yard- not out back by pond.Should supply sheets and towels!!
Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025
Response from VrboOwner on 6 Oct 2025
We’re sorry you were unhappy that we don’t supply sheets and towels, but it was clearly stated in the contract you signed. The state burn permit has restrictions on how close a firepit can be to buildings, that is why the firepit was positioned where it was. Guests have been instructed to phone the local fire department before lighting to be sure it was safe to do so. The forest fire danger has been at extreme levels for much of the summer, and campfires aren’t allowed anywhere except in licensed campgrounds where a member of the staff is supervising. To alleviate this danger, we have decided it safest to remove the campfire pit altogether. I’m sorry this was a hardship for you.

Perfect family vacation

My family had a wonderful 4 day stay here! The house was very clean, and kitchen stocked with all of the supplies you will need! The view of the lake is amazing, and having water access steps from the door was perfect! It’s a great location for the pups too! Our dog had the best time swimming and lounging by the lake. Definitely recommend this property!
