Cute, Cozy Cabin Along the Lake

Cute, cozy cabin along the lake! It was a perfect way to celebrate my first wedding anniversary. Easy access to downtown Greenville and to the two state parks nearby, Lily Bay and Mt. Kineo. Would love to come back some day!

Lobster tail cottage

Loved the setting. It was very quiet. Left all the windows open all night. The house did smell very musty when we arrived. Like it hadn't been opened up for some time.
Response from VrboOwner on 31 July 2025
Hi Jocelyn, thank you for your feedback and for sharing your experience. This is an older home that has a full-time running dehumidifier in the basement. The homeowner does everything possible to minimize any musty smells, but sometimes, with older homes, there are limits to what can be done. We appreciate your understanding and are glad you enjoyed the quiet setting.
