A wonderful water side house and grounds
We spent 2 weeks with various family members. It is very comfortable and well appointed. The back yard is spectacular and we spent evenings in the Adirondack chairs with wine and hors d’oeuvers watching the water and sunset. Close enough to town. Friendly neighbors
