YOUR HOSTS:
Tim in Theresa found this hidden gem while looking for a lake front property in NH and ME to unplug from the craziness of the world around us. We fell in love with the home as soon as we saw it because of the serene surroundings and the restful feeling of being away from it all. We live and work in Massachusetts and love that we can shoot up to this lovely home in a little over an hour. We have 3 busy, youngish girls and a dog named Ozzy. We hope you will find your stay peaceful and relaxing and you will leave with many fond memories of your time with loved ones.
