My husband, myself, our two teenage boys, and our dog stayed at this hidden gem for the first week of August 2022. We had a wonderful time! We had a 13 hour car drive, so we arrived late in the evening. Karen was unable to meet us at the lake house, but she explained everything over the phone before we arrived and even left us a pizza since she knew we had a long day! The house was clean and the beds were comfortable. We were concerned about having no A/C since the weather was much hotter than average the week we came. However, the house stayed cool with the ceiling fans and stand fans that were at the cabin even though the temps were in the mid to high 80s. It was so nice having the kayaks and canoe, so we didn't have to bring ours. The lake was very quiet-especially during the week days. The screened-in-porch was great, and we ate most of our meals there. There were also relatively few insects to bother us! The washer and dryer were newer models, and Karen provided the detergent. It was also nice to have a dishwasher, so we didn't have to do any dishes by hand. It is a bit of a drive to the nearest town for groceries (15-20 min), but we liked the remote feel of the location. It is a rather steep hill down to the dock. I did wonder why there were not many reviews, but Karen explained she only rents the cabin for about 6 weeks a year, and then her family uses it the rest of the time. Overall, I would recommend this cabin for a quiet vacation by a lake.

The lake home was clean and cozy. The 3 bedrooms were very comfortable. I like that there are two bathrooms, one for the adults and one for the children. The surroundings where beautiful and so quiet! Very relaxing! The house had everything we needed. I lived in screen porch. The only downfall was the steps going down to the water, but we managed fine. We did enjoy the association beach a few miles away. We had the beach to ourselves most of the time. Also, bringing our own trash to the recycling facility, .wasn't convenient, but considering we were able to rent a 3 bedroom two bath on a lake for a great price was worth it. I would love to rent this house again next summer. Thanks Karen!

We had a relaxing week on this quiet lake. The rental has everything you need.

We had a wonderful and peaceful week at Karens lakefront house. Karen was waiting for us upon our arrival and gave us a quick tour of the house and its amenities; all was clean and ready for us. Our son and his fiancée joined us half way through the week and they also enjoyed the lake to its fullest. We all especially enjoyed the kayaks and canoe! Island Pond we found out is really a lake! But no matter its name, its so picturesquely calming and refreshing. We met several locals at the beach, from young to older, all enjoying the beach, the dock, corn hole racks and its volleyball court! It was nice seeing the now college group of friends reuniting for the summer at their favorite place and reminiscing their younger years there. This place is welcoming to all ages! We are definitely coming back next summer!
