This little house has everything a couple or a couple with a young kid or 2 needs. The kitchen is well appointed, with good quality dishes, cookware, coffee and spices. The patio overlooking the lake is perfect for meals, or just hanging out. Watching the sun set over the water became nightly ritual. Missisquo wildlife refuge is 5 minutes away-nice trails, especially the Black Creek one. (Bug spray is at the house) St. Albans is 15 minutes away, with a few great restaurants, diners, interesting bakeries and shops. And the islands are nice to explore. Bring swimming shoes or sandals- the little beach at the house is flinty. Nice to swim from. Josie is a great host. Highly recommend.
