Cute cottage near beautiful lake

My family and I rented this house to ski at Sugarloaf and see the total eclipse in April 2024. The house was perfect for our purposes. The house is in a community with shared spaces and is a 40 minute drive to the mountain. We enjoyed the communal fire pit and made friends with neighbors. Note that in order to get into the bedroom with the full size bed, you will have to walk through the bedroom with the bunk beds. Loved our stay!

Cabin needed light repairs

The host was very accommodating and easy to get a hold of when needed. This is a seasonal cabin and needed to be opened and aired out much earlier than our arrival. The cabin was well cleaned and stocked with the necessities. Pest control should be a priority especially during the colder months when left unoccupied.

Beautiful lake

Overall the location of the cabin was amazing. Amazing views. The size of the cabin was just perfect for what we needed. Things to improve would be to have someone come in and clean before guests arrive. There were a lot of spiders and we had a mouse that visited with us. He had left poop in a lot of places in the cabin. Another suggestion would be to have dehumidifiers. Every night when going to bed the beds were extremely damp to the point of almost not being able to sleep in them.

Nice, roomy camp with great deck!

This camp is nice with plenty of open area for family to gather. The Beds were very comfortable, the deck is large and great for gathering (we played cornhole on the deck). It is a little walk to the water, not bad but if you want to be able to see your boat, fishing gear etc. it isn't possible from this camp and the boat slip at the common dock is further than something you want to be making several trips to and from. Sometimes it seemed tricky being sure of what was and wasn't common area access. Overall a nice area and a quiet little community. The owner was very pleasant and communicaton was good! Thank you!

Lovely camp

Lovely camp, amazing countertops and plenty of space for the whole family. Unfortunately the camp is a duplex and the outside space is in full view of your neighbors. The beach is lovely but a bit far from the cabin. The shared area ls are nice but the shared fire pit was full of leaves and grass cuttings so it was unusable, our kids were pretty disappointed that we couldn’t have a fire and make s’mores.

Up to Camp

Carlton was very flexible and responsive. The stay was exactly what we needed for a few days away with our sons. Our oldest 2 enjoyed golfing close by while the youngest spent time fishing. Embden Pond and this camp are both recommended by our family!

A very nice place to stay

We really enjoyed our stay. The owner was quick to respond and very helpful. The cabin was clean, spacious and well-stocked. We had a bit of trouble at first trying to find the small beach on the pond but once Carlton, the owner, directed us we had a good time swimming. There's a really nice wrap-around deck with a grill and table for outdoor dining. I would definitely recommend the cabin and the area. Very nice!!

Awesome

Awesome place, pictures do not do this place justice! It’s way more updated than it appears. There are AC units so it’s very cool, walking down to the water was great, not a far walk at all. It was beautiful the neighbors were awesome. Town was awesome. Walmart is about 30 mins away 18 mins for a supermarket which ia great!!! We bbq a lot, it was very spacious and such a great day!! Place was clean and neat, however, there were a few cobwebs in the bathroom and room, so maybe a quick pass through before the guest arrive would be best. I know we were on a camp ground so bugs are just going to be around. Other than that, it was an awesome stay, beautiful location and the property manager was great at communicating and updating me on what to do! Will be back
