We loved the location of the house, right across the street from the lake with use of the 2 kayaks and standup paddleboards. We were out on the lake every day, swimming and/or boating, although the steady breeze made paddleboarding a bit too challenging to try more than once. It was lovely to sit and read and look out over the lake from the beautiful porch. The house was nicely equipped -- we cooked dinner on the grill one night and made breakfasts and lunches in the kitchen. The shower and laundry room off the kitchen seemed like an unusual layout, but it really worked out quite well.
The open walls and ceilings upstairs with exposed electrical wires creeped out our young adult kids, who refused to even go upstairs. The sleeping areas upstairs were spacious, but would benefit from some updating to match the downstairs, which was lovely.
The neighborhood was very friendly with people walking by with and without dogs and saying hi. The lack of curtains on most of the windows was disconcerting at night, when people walking by could look right into the house.
We enjoyed our trips to nearby Cookie Love for milkshakes and cookies and we took some nice trips to Burlington, including some local breweries and an admissions tour of the University of Vermont.
Ryan was very easy to communicate with and made us feel very welcome.
