It was a very pleasant stay! We were a group of 6 adults with an infant, a toddler and a dog. It was perfect!

Response:

I don’t like to leave bad reviews, I never do. The unit was great and cozy. The lake was beautiful. However, the management company was pushy. At first, we were working together, they let us check in early and due to the big snowstorm we didn’t complain about the hammering on the ceiling from their contractors removing ice before the storm. The management company stated they would arrive from 12-4pm and we agreed to anytime after 2pm because we had a baby in the house. They didn’t show up until 6pm and were there until 8pm hammering ice. We still didn’t complain. The instructions on the parking were that if you had a 4×4 we should be fine with parking at the end of the driveway which we did. We were informed that a plow truck will come plow the drive way out. However, the next morning we were told to move our cars so they could plow and that we would have to call a two truck to get us out. We ended up shoveling ourselves out.

Response:

Thank you for your feedback, Dashira. We’re glad to hear that you found the unit cozy and enjoyed the beautiful lake. I do want to clarify that we messaged ahead of time and included in the check-in instructions not to park in the driveway due to the impending snowstorm. With snow accumulation, there wouldn’t have been space for the plow truck to clear the driveway if cars were parked there, which is why we advised parking on the landing area instead. Unfortunately, not following those instructions caused the difficulty leaving in the morning.
As for the plowing, we understand the inconvenience, but please know we couldn’t extend your stay since we had another guest arriving the same day. We do appreciate your understanding during the situation with the contractors and the snowstorm, and we strive to make every guest’s stay as smooth as possible.

Sweet cabin! We will definitely be back!

Thank you Maria! We would love to welcome you back. We have also addressed the pocket doors in the upstairs bathroom, so we appreciate you letting us know! Happy New Year 2025!

We had a small snafu at check in with a wrong code to the door. But even at 2AM thanks to a delayed flight, the property manager answered and was able to get us a new code and in the property. The cabin was beautiful and the lake is gorgeous. Nothing like New England in the fall time.

Response:

Thank you for choosing to stay with us. Hope to welcome you back next time you are in the area. We have a backup lockbox to ensure any smartlock malfunctions, if any especially in the middle of the night, do not affect your stay negatively. Technology can be tricky so having a back up plan is always a good idea 😉

This property was so much more then we expected! We were visiting family for the holiday so we only slept at the rental but we can’t wait to come back and see enjoy all it has to offer. My granddaughters ( 2 & 5) loved the toys that were provided and the sweet bedroom they shared. We adults were very comfortable and really loved sitting around at night listening to albums. With our family being new to the Lyman area we will be visiting often and hope to stay at this property.

Response:

Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Suzann! We’re delighted to hear that your Thanksgiving stay exceeded expectations and that your granddaughters enjoyed the toys and their shared bedroom. It’s great to know the adults found comfort and made special memories as well. We look forward to welcoming you back on your future visits to the Lyman area! 😊

Loved it here! The house is comfortable and well-equipped and was spotless. We appreciated the book collections, board games, & children’s toys. The water views of the lake were lovely.

Highly recommended! This was an incredible place to stay and was so nice having a secluded place on the water. If you’re looking for a cabin that’s off the beaten path, quiet, and with a wonderful view and access to a beautiful lake this is the place for you.

Mark, Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the peaceful, secluded setting and beautiful lake access. We appreciate your recommendation and would love to welcome you back in the future!

This place was amazing and right on the water as well. It was perfect for the two nights we needed to be in the area for a wedding with room to spare.

Wonderful place to visit. You can’t beat the location right on the lake with a private dock. The cabin is spacious and the bed was comfortable.

We only stayed here for a few days as we were attending a local wedding, but we wished that we were here for longer so that we could explore the pond a little more. Our son was able to fish off the dock and he had a blast. This is exactly what I would imagine a Lakehouse like this to be, we will definitely repeat, as we have friends in the area and always need a place to stay

Response:

Mark, Thank you for your lovely review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed your stay and that your son had a great time fishing off the dock. It sounds like a perfect lakeside experience! We look forward to welcoming you back for a longer visit next time.

This is an incredibly peaceful vacation! The neighborhood and lake was very quiet. I think we saw maybe three motor boats and one jet ski in action the entire time we were there. The loons made way more noise than the humans! The house is great! The master bedroom with ensuite bath and double closets felt luxurious. The shower tiling is beautiful! The main level is very comfortable with multiple sitting options to read/work/eat/reflect. The bedrooms on the main level were perfect for the boys, but would also work for adults. The lower level was perfect for the boys to hang out watching TV (we brought our Roku stick from home which worked seamlessly for the boys) or “working out” (i.e., swinging the provided play swords around). There were plenty of towles (bath and beach versions). The deck was perfect for morning coffee. The yard with the swing set, hammock, and dock was also a joy. I wish we had more than 1 week to enjoy the space: there was so much more relaxing to do!

Response:

Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted to hear that you had such a peaceful and enjoyable vacation. It’s great to know that the house and its amenities met your expectations and provided the perfect setting for relaxation and family fun. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and hope to welcome you back for another stay in the future!

This was our family’s first AirBnB stay, and it did not disappoint! The house was very clean and well stocked. We loved trying out the paddleboards, listening to the record collection, and enjoying the beautiful area. Debbie and co-hosts were very accommodating and responsive. Would highly recommend and definitely consider rebooking.

Response:

Thank you for your wonderful review Chelsea! We’re delighted to hear that your first Airbnb experience was a success and that you enjoyed the house, paddleboards, and record collection. It’s great to know that Debbie and the team made your stay comfortable and enjoyable. We’d be thrilled to host you again and look forward to the opportunity to welcome you back!
