Renters should know that the property does not have running water or electricity. The property managers help you figure out how to boil the pond water and use the propane lamps. If you’re willing to rough it, you can’t beat the experience of having your own pond. ##### Nicholas T.

The unplugged feel while still having cell service and a quick 15 minute jump to town is amazing. Solar lights around the property, and the propane run appliances make this the perfect get away for me. I started everyday with hikes with the dogs up the mountain and spent the rest of the time in a hammock I bought or fishing on the shoreline, mostly caught sunfish but a day on the lake is better than a day at work. 10/10 recommend we will be booking again! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janet R. 22 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Unplug and go to JayBird We both very much enjoyed the cabin and the pond we were on. Only disappointment was we couldn't catch any fish except catfish. We still had fun, They provided a canoe but we also brought paddle boards. It was very peaceful and serene. You could hear the cars from the main road and the road going into the cabin is very rough. We had a small SUV and I felt I should of had a truck. All in all it was pleasant, peaceful and we were unplugged. I am heading back to work feeling refreshed. ##### Janet R. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Donda Y. 19 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Secluded and peaceful! We spent our 25th wedding anniversary at this little cabin on the pond. Such a great spot to enjoy the birds, fish, and frogs. Mornings were spent drinking coffee while kayaking and the days and nights finding ways to beat the 102 degree heat. A few suggestions for anyone staying here in the summer: 1\. wear water shoes to keep some of the mucky bottom of the pond off your feet and for general walking around the immediate property. 2\. Flip flops aren’t the greatest here because the terrain is very slopped, slippery pine cones/needles, and generally uneven ground. 3\. Bring a battery operated fan or three or a small generator to use the outlets for fans. 4\. We brought a Milwaukee Tools M18 Rover Compact Folding Flood Light w/USB charger as the gas and solar lights are limited. You’ll need extra light over the stove if cooking in the darker hours.5\. If sleeping on the sofa bed, bring a thick mattress pad! Horribly uncomfortable. Not sure the existing mattress could be considered a mattress. 6\. Personal preference: bring your own water if you don’t want to boil pond water for dishes or refill shower bags with the same. Lugging water up the steep incline from the pond isn’t fun, IMO.You can hear other nearby houses and traffic coming from the main road but nothing disruptive. 1-2 bar cell service in the event you need to stay connected to the world. I advise against that! Great location to reconnect, rejuvenate, and relax! We’ll be back! ![The swim from the dock to the float requires going through lily pads or a kayak/canoe paddle over.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2babbfc1-daaa-4c49-89d2-274469177cf5-1755614789825.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Frog watching was a highlight EVERYWHERE! 😍](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e9f7b3b5-eabf-455f-b5ce-d3f751d68247-1755614789224.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![View into one of the pond’s coves.

I only was able to stay one night, but will definitely be going back. In fact, the owner felt so badly about my situation, they've offered to have me back at no charge. I will definitely be booking in the future. This location is ideal if you want privacy and the cabin is well appointed. It's kind of like glorified "glamping" with no running water or electricity. The gas lights are awesome and the gas refrigerator is perfect. A couple of things I wish I had brought with me and will next time; a tablecloth for the outdoor picnic table, my camp water jug for dishes, folding chairs, and a good battery operated reading light. Other than that, I could've been very comfortable for the week! ##### Lisa S.

My 9 and 12 year old got back to being kids running around in nature again without technology and we reconnected as a family! The pond was great to kayak in, we did not swim though a bit murky for our taste but plenty of other places close by to swim. Would love to return in cooler weather, it was really hot when we visited. ##### Toni G.

We absolutely loved our stay at Jaybird. It was absolutely perfect for my wife, our two friends, and a pup. We will definitely be back, it is the epitome of New England Camp. One Note: We arrived at night and had a VERY DIFFICULT time finding the road, Google, GPS, Apple Maps, none worked. We had no service so we could not call the hosts either. We ultimately found the gate after driving up and down the road a few times. If you arrive at night and come from the south, it is the very first (and somewhat hidden) pull-off on the left after passing a big white house. ##### Daniel G.

It was easy to manage living without running water and electricity- a fun experience using solar and propane-fueled power. We appreciated options for fishing, kayaking, canoeing, and games. The property was well organized by the owners, who provided friendly support and clear communication. For us, it was a comfortable and quiet place to stay, while we attended the music festival. ##### Nancy V.

The cabin was amazing and so relaxing! Totally alone on the pond! My 2 year old had a ball fishing! He caught something with every cast! The outhouse was clean and we didn’t have any issues using that. We will be back!! ##### Jennifer J.

This experience made us get close and explore some things that would normally be awkward. The view was beautiful, the cabin was so cute and comfortable. We kayaked, fished, had a fire it was great ! ##### Meagan W.

We enjoyed the fall colors and a bit of fishing. Caught bluegills and catfish. No electricity but wasn’t too inconvenient. Indoor lighting with gas lamps was in place but didn’t provide a ton of light. Plenty to get around but not read with. Had a great stay and would happily go back! ##### Dale G.
