Fantastic location on the lake, near beaches and good restaurants.

We loved our gorgeous weekend at this lovely comfortable estate. We had 2 families with young kids and an au pair, plenty of beds for all, we all had space to find somewhere cozy to read, and of course there was plenty of room to play! The big lawn was great for baseball, kid bike riding and outdoor games. The TV room inside connected to the back porch was fun to watch baseball and the Celtics, and to play endless board and card games available at the house. The kayaks and paddle boat were a huge hit; we took a gazillion trips out on the lake and over to the rope swing and back. The kitchen was amazing and easy to cook for us all- and we enjoyed the inside and outside large dining tables. The adults also enjoyed gravel rides from the house-- we each went out in the surrounding areas/ around the lakes for a couple hours a day. We had easy access to groceries, nearby ice cream, and fun restaurants in Newport. It was just what the doctor ordered for adventure, R&R, and family bonding. Thank you Brendon and Deann!

Our group of five adults was really happy with this property and with our host, Brendon. Everything was as described, we arrived to a very clean home and welcomed the warmth with heat already going. We had three full size trucks with sled trailers and we had no trouble parking. The driveway and parking areas were cleared of snow. Brendon was super cool about us accessing the VAST trails directly from the property and even got us some local intel. We had planned on riding across the lake to access the VAST trails, but ultimately didn't trust the ice. No problem though, a public parking area with VAST access was just a few miles down the road. We had a great time exploring the NEK on the VAST trails and found that Newport, Derby, and surrounding towns have plenty to offer for winter power sports. We also really appreciated the flawless WiFi/Internet, the Sonos speakers, gas fireplace, and subfloor heat!! Thank you Brendon!!
