Our large family felt very at home. There was plenty of room and the house has so much charm and character. Everyone we ran into knew the house and spoke so kindly of the family.

Easy to get to by boat and straight ride to Clayton NY. We had a great time and look forward to going back next year!! Only thing is one bathroom, so for a large group getting along and sharing is a must. Any issues we simply called owners and they resolved quickly. The house is filled with everything you need for cooking. The house is very welcoming and has a home like feeling. Swimming there is a little tough access but there are a couple local beaches, Overall this is a great place to stay!! Thank you Linda, Brenda and family! ##### Jerry W.

Sep 14, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A wonderful vacation in a beautiful house on a lovely island! I can’t say enough positive things about our trip. The farmhouse was charming, roomy, stocked with every imaginable item you could need (from TP to cooking and baking supplies and even tons of books and puzzles for entertainment). Modern conveniences like internet and tv, but charm of vegetable garden and quiet private roads. The water and dock for your boat are just out the back of the house. Large bedrooms, and also plenty of living and family room space to spread out. Linda and Brenda was wonderful to work with and were so communicative and helpful. Unless you plan to totally retreat from the world, you DEFINITELY need to rent a boat. That was easy enough to arrange as wlll. Clayton was a 10-15 minute boat in and was charming and had fun shops and restaurants. We fished, swam, toured, relaxed. A great week! ##### Mark P.
