Karen was a highly responsive host, providing lots of information ahead of, and during, our stay. She provided a folder that included directions for the TV and DVD player, hiking trail details, brochures on area attractions, specifics on grocery stores, etc. She labeled the light switches, mapped out where to park, and left directions about VT trash and recycling procedures as well as cleaning expectations. The only thing we needed to bring besides food was our sheets and towels, as soap, TP, paper towels, dishes, cookware, nightlight, etc. were provided. The cottage is well maintained, very clean, neat and attractive. There were handmade quilts on the beds. The bedroom upstairs is large and includes a closet. There is sleeping downstairs on the porch and on the futon in the living room. The small bathroom has a shower stall. There is a screened porch with table and chairs as well as the pictured table and chairs and lounge chair on the deck, which has a grill. The cottage has fans, but the breezes coming in were more than enough for comfort on warm days/nights. As is common on lakes, this cottage is one of three next to each other, which are above two closer to the road. There is a steep driveway stops about 50' from the cottage where you can unload, and then park at the street level, also about 50' away. There is a nice public beach about a 2 minute walk away. Interesting books, magazines, videos and DVDs are provided. We watched the BBC documentary: The Earth. While there is traffic during the day and night, it was not bothersome. All in all, it was a very nice place to stay, very peaceful. We would definately stay there again.
