Heather made sure we felt comfortable and met us for a tour and gave us all of the history behind the house which was an added bonus. Our friends loved how close this house was to town and how many people it could occupy. They had the BEST time walking into town, shopping around and getting drinks at the local bars. The house was clean and there were towels set out for each guest. We are so happy with the stay they provided! ##### Mackenzie G.

Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Denise D. 5 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Northport Unfortunately many changed flights and flew home early or drove home early due to inefficient air conditioning making it impossible to sleep. Not having a bath tub for the toddlers was a bit of a problem. One family stayed until Saturday. Had the weather been cooler I think all would have been ok. The children were happy there. Heather had house well stocked and was very gracious. Location couldn’t be better. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a10b35f9-37eb-45ca-921f-e2fc377789e2-1751756893632.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/47845817-0e90-4283-a9d0-000d38e51b42-1751756892370.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8e4bc1b2-ae54-4e74-b4a6-34f20c0b929c-1751756891285.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Denise D.

Very spacious property. Needs patio and grill. Huge yard but not usable. Back yard was unsightly . Huge potential once completely remodeled. I would rent again. ##### Michael R.

This lovely historic home checked all the boxes. It was very clean with all the amenities you need. All the beds are very comfortable. It has a beautiful lake view with only a short walk to the public beach. You can walk to everything in town which was great! The communication with the owners was smooth and they answered all my questions. Check in/out process was simple. I highly recommend staying here for your next family/friend gathering. :) There is an apartment attached to the house but we didn't notice extra noise. It made no difference to our stay. ##### Sara L. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2023 ---
