Lovely little place, perfectly situated 10 min from Gunstock mountain (the main draw for us) and also close to other lakeside restaurants/attractions. The home is very clean, kitchen dishware/tools well stocked, and bed was extremely comfortable! This is the ideal spot to use as a home base if you are looking to explore the local area by day and return for a restful nights sleep! We were thrilled that Patti could accommodate us and our dog on this adventure.
