We enjoyed our 4 night stay at the main Victorian home. We checked in @ 5 p.m. and found the cottage was rented, but that family checked out the next morning leaving us to ourselves - which I was grateful for given the virus situation; plus I prefer my privacy.
The grounds are huge, so lots of space to run around outside. We loved having our own private beach! With the house in a cove the waters were calm & perfect for swimming & kayaking!
We ate all our meals at the house & did not need to leave for anything. Enjoyed meals in the kitchen, dining room, the bistro set on the back porch, on the outdoor patio set on the side of the house & down on the grass overlooking the beach! So divine!! We all loved time on the porch swing!!
At one point the sprinklers came on while we were sunbathing, but one of the caretakers buzzed by on her ski boat & told us how to shut them off - which was nice! The owner’s brother also stopped by on his jet ski to tow away one of the kayaks for repair. Both were very nice people who each told me a bit about the history of the home - which I quite enjoyed!
The house is old (built in 1913 I think), so the basement smells as one may expect in an older home, but I would not let that deter you from enjoying this unique home!!
Also, we thought the hot tub would be outside, but it is in the lower level in a sunroom. I personally did not spend much time in it as I would have if it were outside, but the kids (ages 4 - 19) enjoyed it.
Thank you for sharing your home with us. We made some great family memories over our 5 day stay!
