Wonderful
We had a great time staying at this house! As a parents with twin 2 year olds we loved that the host had several toddler plates, bowls & utensils, high chair and a pack and play! We would be glad to stay again for our next visit to see family!

The Perfect Weekend Getaway
My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this wonderful house with pool! The pool was very large and was refreshing on a hot summer day. The homeowner provided beach towels and floats which was great. There is a large umbrella and chaise lounges poolside. Everything was so well maintained - lots of pretty flowers.
One day during our stay it had rained so we chilled out in a large living room with comfy couches and a nice TV. It was very peaceful there and we were able to enjoy time away from the hustle & bustle of life!
The bedrooms were super comfortable - equipped with a ceiling fan and A/C.
The shower was large and they provided shampoo & body wash - very nice touch.
We were so happy to be able to spend time here, and are looking forward to our weekend getaway next year!
Thank you, Stephen! 5 Stars!!!!!

Highly Enjoyable Averill Park Cottage by Sand Lake
Our week at the house was great fun and pleasure-filled. Between the spacious den and kitchen/dining room, there are pretty much all the comforts of home. The bedrooms are small, but comfortable and each has its own AC. The landscaping, flora and fauna (2 beautiful white-tailed deer) are delightful. The lake is lovely and readily accessible for kayaking. But, best of all, the pool makes for invigorating swims and cozy book reading/internet browsing.
The owner, Stephen C.,, is very communicative and accommodating. Just the kind of owner you hope to work with. He lives nearby, so if you ever need him for whatever reason, he's prompt and 100% reliable.

Beautiful area
This place was perfect for what we needed, short walk to the lake with a lot of fishing spots, the area couldn’t be more tranquil! The house is gorgeous and the back yard with all the wildlife was breathtaking. I’d definitely book this again

Relaxing getaway!
This vacation rental was amazing choice for our family vacation! The house was very clean & well kept! We loved the nice pool & that everyroom had AC that you can adjust to your needs. Almost everything you need was there for you already. We brought grind coffee but they had Keurig machine & coffee pods. It ran out quickly but we got more since supermarket is only 8 min away. Also the host, Stephen was very quick at responding when you need something. We really enjoyed the stay!
It would be nice if Stephen can stock up one larger frying pan & straight edge knife for cooking for future guests.

Quite and senior area
The house is well kept. The yard and pool are perfect way to spend an afternoon. There was lots of wildlife in the area including a beautiful family of deers with little ones right on the edge of the back yard.. Great stay

Perfection!
The pictures do not do this property justice. We were very impressed with the details of the host . The home is very inviting and beautiful , we truly felt at home. From a very sweet welcome sign to having everything you can imagine available in the home for it’s guests and pets. Loved exploring the beautiful town and it’s local farms. I would definitely rent again . As my four year old said “I want to stay here for a million hours!” 🤣🤣
