We had a very relaxing and quiet three days at the Hidden Lake house. Although there are other houses on the pretty lake, they are well-screened by trees and distances. We only heard one or two voices while we were there, and enjoyed the many bird calls (bring your Merlin app). Largemouth bass fishing was fantastic from the dock using artificial worms (we caught more than 30 nice-sized fish). The house is about 10 minutes from Sherburne and 20 minutes from Hamilton, for groceries and restaurants. We enjoyed grilling on the deck with a sunst-view of the lake. Kevin was a great host and was easy to contact with any questions! ##### Tom W. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### DONNA K. Jul 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Family Meet Up Retreat! The location is within easy driving distance for all our kids and grandkids that still live in the CNY area. We live in Florida and this was truly a hidden gem! Every age group enjoyed fishing (and actually catching - A LOT) from the dock or boat, while I kayaked with the grandkids or just enjoyed the peace and quiet out on the lake. Thank you for allowing dogs, our boy is family too and he loved the attention from the kids! Cabin is well stocked for all your needs and kitchen had everything you need to even bake muffins with blueberries picked locally nearby. Yum! The general consensus from the entire family is that we need to do this next year, too. 😁 Kevin was always always very responsive to any questions and I appreciate that! Thanks so much for providing a lovely house and setting for us to enjoy! We will be back again! ##### DONNA K. Stayed 10 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carrie E.

Aug 24, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quiet & Great This is the place to be if you want quiet. There is a neighbor fairly close who happened to have visitors so we heard them a couple of times, but nothing beyond some lively conversation. Most of the time, we heard nothing but ourselves. Cabin was very clean and communication was fantastic. Our dog found a mouse in the house on the first night, but let's face it, you're in the middle of the woods. There were no signs that this is a common occurrence. It just happened while we were there. No big deal. As soon as I contacted the host, it was handled quickly and efficiently, and our week moved forward with no other issues. There was a nice raft provided for rowing around the lake. There are kayaks that we didn't take out because of the raft, but they are available. The grill worked just fine and there is plenty of firewood provided for the pit. Understand that there really is not much around if you are looking for tourist attractions. We found a grocery store about 15 minutes away in Sherburne along with a pizza place and some great ice cream at Gilligan's Island. Bigger town about 30 minutes away is Norwich. We found some great waterfalls in the area, which is something we enjoy doing. You will have to drive to find these things, but we had lots of fun within 30 - 45 minutes away. Also, a great visit to Wolf Mountain Nature Center only 3 miles away. Take the time to do this if you can. Beware of George Crumb Road. If your navigation sends you there, find the other route - haha. We have an interesting story to tell, but it is definitely not the way to go. The stay here was quiet and great! ##### Max M.

Better chairs out by fire pit would be nice. ##### John E. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Antonio S. Jul 21, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The perfect spot for a family vacation. This house is such a gem! Very comfortable with plenty of space and comfort. The Garden is so great to hang out, we spend a lot of time on the incredible dock, fishing, kayaking, having a drink, watching the stars... The house deck is also great and we were there all the time enjoying the views, having meals, reading, etc. The house feels very modern, we loved the big glass windows in the living room. We were so impressed with the natural beauty all around us, so many farms around... we visited Hamilton, went to the bookstore there, got ice cream, walked around. Great stay overall. The perfect spot for a family vacation. Thank you so much! ##### Antonio S. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard W.
