About this property

20 acres, located near beaches, snowmobile trails and other local attractions.

***Exciting News…. We now have TrueStream Fiber Internet 😁
** We manually add a 24 hour block between each guest stay. If you are trying to edit your booking and find you can’t, please contact me so I can remove the block.

This 20 acre property is ideal for travelers during all seasons! The house has 3 bedrooms:
Bedroom #1 has a queen bed
Bedroom #2 has a double bed
Bedroom #3 has a twin/double bunk bed.
*There is also a queen-size futon in the front room.

We are equipped with 1 bathroom with dual vanity & a ridiculously oversized shower with two shower heads. There is a large basement with comfy couches, TV with DVD player, air hockey and lots of games.

We have a large sun-deck with patio furniture and a propane BBQ available for your use.

There is a large parking area that will fit boat trailers, snowmobile trailers etc (NO RV’s without permission!). We are not far from beaches, Winston Race Track, Silver Lake Dunes and the Hart-Montague bike (snowmobile) Trail.

There is a large outdoor fire pit to look out over the stars while you toast s’mores. Circling the property is a 3/4 mile long scenic trail great for morning runs & evening strolls. You’ll see plenty of deer, turkeys and other wildlife and enjoy seclusion from the outside world.

This is the place to be in the off-season if you’re looking for a break from the daily grind. The area is well known for its Fall beauty and autumn vibe, including many festivals, events and haunted attractions. Thinking Winter??? We’re located close to the Hart-Montague Rail trail and hundreds of miles of interconnecting snowmobile trails. Not to mention the surrounding area is farm land, great for carving through fresh powder! Only a few miles from the Double JJ snow tubing hill and indoor water park!! Makes for a great spring get-away!!

Please note that you will hear Winston Racetrack on Friday nights if you’re outside during their racing season. The house is really well insulated thought, and nice and quiet. The racetrack is a great time if your looking for something to do.

No live tv but we now have WIFI (don’t forget to log out!) and there are plenty of dvds, books, and games available to entertain during inclimate weather, or just cozy up to the fireplace and do nothing... permission granted....

Otherwise, you’re going to want to be spending your time outside exploring the community, roaming the property, or stargazing on the sun deck and bonfire pit. Cell service is surprisingly decent considering the remoteness of the location. So surfing on your cell phones or using a hot spot shouldn’t be a problem....if you’re desperate to stay connected to the outside world that is.....

Note: If you’ve rented homes in the past, you’re probably use to finding a fridge full of ketchup, mustard and other condiments left behind. Due to the current pandemic, we feel this is a bad idea and hence make sure the fridge is clear before you visit. So please make sure you bring your own and plan to take it with you.

Can’t wait to help you make some memories!!!

***Due to past guests we’ve had to add an outside security camera. It only shows the driveway. We are true believers in privacy and the stream is saved online for a short time and never shared. It’s only checked for arrivals and departures to help housekeeping services. A picture of the camera view is added to the photos. Any tampering with it will cause notifications to go off prompting action.

****A gentile reminder, as stated in our rules we will not rent this house for the Electric Forest weekend.

Great price for the area and amenities

Overall we had an excellent time, we went up for the weekend to do some fishing and the house was everything we could’ve asked for for the price, only a short drive to double JJ. The houses cleanliness was a little spotty in some areas upon arrival though.

Great location 10 min from the beach!

We loved the isolation and privacy the property offered but also being so close to the lake and town. The hosts are amazingly communicative and know the area well - they have a host (see what I did there?) of fun recommendations for you no matter what your interests are. We really only came back to sleep, do laundry, and prep for the next day on the beach, but the property was perfect. Our pup loved the open field and our son loved the toy room, slide, and basement play area! Mom and dad loved staying in a room that opened up to the deck. A perfect option for families!

Great stay quiet getaway

We stay at VRBO quit a bit and loved staying at this property. It was so quiet and had lots of acreage to walk our dog 🐕 on the trails. The inside was impeccably clean, which is #1 for me. We slept on a very comfortable queen bed, but they had 2 other bedrooms with plenty of room for the rest of the family! The downstairs has a very comfortable family room with a large screen tv and game room for the kids with pingpong and air hockey. Oh and did I mention the natural wood fireplace on the main level, as well as outside fire pit. So much to enjoy!! So close to many conveniences and year round fun outdoor activities!! You won't miss on staying at this property! We will return for sure!!

near Claybanks

very nice house with 3 bedrooms and one bathroom with an awesome 2 headed shower! We all loved that. The Kitchen was great and met our needs. We loved the privacy of the place and knowing we could come back from a day at the beach to a secluded and calm spot! My 2 friends are allergic to scents and we did put one smelly thing outside during our stay. We would have liked a couple of comfy chairs in the living room.. we used the white plastic ones..and the couch was kinda too soft and hard to get out of! And we all would prefer plain cotton sheets! that said we had a great stay and hope to stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Julia Lorson

Host profile image
We have lived in the area for 20 years and are in the process of bringing up 3 kids. We love this area and bought the property for the acreage. The area is jam-packed with family friendly activities all year around. We love swimming in the lake in the summer and sledding and snowmobiling in the winter.

Why they chose this property

We’ve always wanted land and it’s very rare to find it in this area. We also love that we have easy access to the highway and we are not too far away from anything we need.

What makes this property unique

With 20 acres we can offer parking for people who have trailers, many travelers bring their boats, kayaks etc. We also offer lots of privacy and space for the kids to run around in. Any left over forts will be well appreciated by my kids! Please respect the property and use only dead or broken wood.
