Walk to a hike
We went in November for a small family retreat and did expect to nor did we swim or kayak. But being on the lake, sitting on the dock and small beach was a magical way to see so many many stars in the sky. It was steps to walk into Pawtuckaway park and go in a hike. We made it to the fire tower!

Cannot beat the morning view.
Was an excellent stay, the national park is on the other side of the lake so the view is stellar. Had a very relaxing stay, most of it spent lounging on the lake beach.

BEAUTIFUL LAKE PLACE
The house's location is perfectly lovely for friends and family. Many amenities with the house and the heating system proved to be more than adequate for us, being Floridians. YES, the lake view says it all. You can relax inside the house on one of the 3 floors of living space, or go out the back door to fish, go canoeing or enjoy a cocktail on the dock. Great fire pit with seating too. The owners are wonderfully helpful. We will be back!

Beautiful Location
Great location, lots of amenities. Central heat is a bit wonky. No heat on 3rd floor. Bring extra blankets or heating device if visiting in the cooler months.
