This was a great property, close to downtown Newport but felt very removed with an amazing view of the lake. The house was clean and welcoming, and Ryan made the reservation and check in process very easy. The house has lots of stairs, both inside and to get down to the lake, which wasn't ideal for our youngest children, but we made it work. Thanks for a lovely and memorable stay!

Clean and comfortable for all.

I loved the lake and the kayaks and the view and the fishing! It wasn't until I was leaving that I noticed all the chargers in each of the rooms which my sons and friends were very happy with. All the condiments and supplies needed for a most enjoyable stay! Great exercise on the stairs to the dock!

Lovely house with a gorgeous view of the lake via large picture windows and quick access via a steep flight of stairs. Ryan was very responsive to my questions and up front about lake access, making sure it was going to work for us. If you've got mobility or balance issues, navigating the stairs in the house and down to the lake will be an issue! It wasn't an issue for my friends and I, so this was a great stay that Ryan made better by having kayaks available on the dock! The kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils and cutlery, and the bathroom was well stocked with toiletries. Bedrooms were a good size with comfortable beds. Note there is only one a/c window unit for each floor, so it did get muggy upstairs - there were ceiling and floor fans to help circulate cooler air and make it comfortable for us. Overall, my friends and I had a blast - Thanks Ryan!!

Sitting in a rocking chair with your morning coffee while looking at the lake is the perfect way to start the day. We spent time at the lake dock swimming and reading.. Visited Jay Peak, Newport and rented a boat to explore the lake. The dining table easily fit 7 of us for dinner and games. We enjoyed our stay and time to reconnect with family.

We had a great few days at the Scenic Retreat in Newport, VT. Ryan was beyond helpful and responsive to any and all requests. Our favorite things were spending time on the dock kayaking and swimming or just floating, nights at the fire pit and family dinners around the large dining table. Thank you, Ryan, for sharing this awesome property with us!

We were a multi-generational family spending time at this property. It is an older camp home so do not expect a dishwasher or bright lighting and the listing is honest about stairs to navigate each level. It is a beautiful view from the rocking chairs and dining room table, next level below with table and grill, lawn down another level with fire pit and wood provided, down another level to tracks (train passed by 1 morning we were there), and another set of stairs to the dock. We were able to swim off the dock that has some seating and a sit-on Kayak. We spent a beautiful summer day at Prouty Beach and also visited Coventry Falls alpaca farm, about a15 minute drive. Owners were available, information provided clearly and timely, additional toiletries, coffee/teas, charging cords and condiments well stocked to make it an easy stay. There are also new washing machines in house. Sunsets were beautiful-a loon made a regular visit. It is a beautiful setting to spend some time enjoying a lake view!

Great stay. Internet worked perfectly as I worked from there for a day. AC worked great in 90 degree weather! The lake was beautiful and the dock and chairs were nice by the water to sit and relax. The hosts were very quick in responding to any questions. Would definitely stay again!
