Jul 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Northport Unfortunately many changed flights and flew home early or drove home early due to inefficient air conditioning making it impossible to sleep. Not having a bath tub for the toddlers was a bit of a problem. One family stayed until Saturday. Had the weather been cooler I think all would have been ok. The children were happy there. Heather had house well stocked and was very gracious. Location couldn’t be better. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a10b35f9-37eb-45ca-921f-e2fc377789e2-1751756893632.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/47845817-0e90-4283-a9d0-000d38e51b42-1751756892370.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8e4bc1b2-ae54-4e74-b4a6-34f20c0b929c-1751756891285.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Denise D.

This lovely historic home checked all the boxes. It was very clean with all the amenities you need. All the beds are very comfortable. It has a beautiful lake view with only a short walk to the public beach. You can walk to everything in town which was great! The communication with the owners was smooth and they answered all my questions. Check in/out process was simple. I highly recommend staying here for your next family/friend gathering. :) There is an apartment attached to the house but we didn't notice extra noise. It made no difference to our stay. ##### Sara L.
