    This house was a perfect location to be home base as we adventured on the north shore. Our kids especially loved the play area in the basement. As parents, this was great for us as they were easily entertained while we packed/unpacked and prepared meals. We enjoyed the outdoor patio table and the grill. The house was clean and had everything we needed as a family. The owners were excellent at communicating with us. We would highly recommend this home for families looking to adventure the north shore!

Our friend from Florida was very impressed. The only thing we would have liked would be more television channels. The guys are huge baseball fans and could not watch the playoff.

From before you arrive you feel like this host understands travelers. After arrival, this feeling is solidified. The details in this house (both what is there and what is not there) make this place a gem! Host responded quickly with a question we had and really was a 5 star host!!!
