The location, across from the outlet pond is ideal for easy access to the lake and trails of Eagle's Mere. The property is by the outlet stream, with its joyous rushing sounds. The ground are very nice, with grill and picnic tables, along with public benches in easy walking at the pond. The house was nicely furnished, with a much better equipped kitchen than most rentals, and touches inside that made it homey. The dog bowls, and dog-chew shaped rug they sat upon, made our pet clearly welcomed, not simply tolerated. Karen herself was friendly and helpful. The only down side we found was the very high mineral content water seemed to be too much for the softener system, but Karen very kindly provided bottled water. Overall, five stars!
