We arrived to a very clean home, the exterior was also nicely manicured. Kitchen was well appointed, great laundry room, clean bathrooms, good linens, water pressure was good with plenty of hot water. The screened in porch was very nice, the basement had a large family room where the kids hung out.. the primary bedroom was very comfortable, the 2 other bedrooms wete fine. The exterior property was very unique with an intricate array of stones that outlined a winding stream, large firepit area and wonderful deck that wrapped around to the screened in porch. The area for pets was adequate with a very sturdy fence and latched gate. We had great commynication with owner! The privare beach area is great for the kids, you can launch boat, jet ski if you have your own..we found plenty of good restaurants, the trails at castle in the clouds worth the hike, close to Center harbor, Meredith, only 30 mins to Weirs beach, kids really enjoyed..we really enjoyed our stay!
