Such a great place for winding down and relaxing. We had beautiful weather, but if I just needed to get away for a few days, it would be wonderful even if it rained the whole time. We had the lake/pond to ourselves and, although we used the raft, most of the time we spent sitting on the Adirondack chairs on the dock, which has both sun and shade at times. The house is amazingly well-stocked, but if you need something, Owensville is just 10 minutes away. We went to the Owensville farmers market and the Coolcowcheese farm (about 15-20 away). Wifi is excellent in house, lots of games, puzzles, national geographic books, big TV. My friend was surprised that, due to how dog-friendly the place was (including toys), she didn't have some allergy issues, but it was super clean and airy. There is a weird little washer/dryer unit that we used but could never really figure out how to dry without washing. :) There are a couple of things different from the photos--patio grill, chairs on dock, big raft--so message the hostess with specific questions. Amy was super responsive. The hosts have a house across the lake, and (we think) we heard them one day but never saw them. There is a trail behind the house that takes you over a bridge and the berm/dam, and my friend did it but she came back with a bunch of seed ticks on her legs, lol, so if you go hiking, apply bug spray! Oddly, no mosquitoes bothered us when we sat on the porch at night. Wonderful getaway, will definitely return!
