This house was amazing. Right on the point with a huge yard near the lake, it is very unique. The house is almost 150 years old and has wonderful character. The kitchen was well equipped, and the beds were comfortable. It was quite warm outside during our visit and without AC it took a while for the house to cool off in the evening. That said, my kids didn’t complain and everyone had a fabulous time at the lake.

We just returned from a week stay in Rock Stream. It was a family get together and included our elderly parents (97, 90 yrs old). The main floor bedroom and bathroom were perfect for our parents. The house is old, beautiful and full of history. We spent most of our indoor time on the front porch - so perfect for large gatherings. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we could want, including containers for left overs. I was worried I wouldn't find a rolling pin but it was there and we enjoyed a delicious wild blueberry pie. The house was very clean, the bedrooms are so pretty with antiques and comfortable bed linens. Plenty of bath towels. We brought our own corn hole game and croquette set and was so surprised to see one already there! There is all kinds of outdoor equipment and games for kids of all ages. The setting is so beautiful - we had a wonderful time and hope to visit again. Thank you!

Plenty of room, kept mostly as it was a long time ago, but clean and nice. It's a very nice spot on the lake.

It was clean. The online literature is confusing and the pictures were misleading. You do not have access to a dock. Hopefully they fixed that now. The neighbors let their children poop in the lake right next door to where your kids are swimming so kind of gross. We thought that the lake areas up there had passed measures that sewage would not be in the lake any longer. And on our last full day there - a huge stream of dead fish were in the waters at the beach - I mean hundreds if not thousands of dead fish were just floating at the beach. The kids could not take the smell of the water and had to take a shower after even trying to wade in the water that didn't seem to have many dead fish.
