    Our rental with Vacasa was a very pleasant experience except for the wrong code sent in email for the lock box to get the rental key out. We had to drive out to the main road and call them for the right code because there is absolutely no service around 1st Roach Pond. The cabin was very clean, beautifully decorated, and had all amenities that were needed. Wifi worked very well for us to use our cell phones and make wifi calls to family and friends. I must say that Vacasa was quick to get maintenance out to attempt to fix the furnace. We had no heat overnight and into the next day. Maintenance showed up at an exceptable time and were not able to fix the furnace but got the gas stove in the living room running for us. We would definitely recommend this vacation spot!

    As a child I enjoyed hearing the loons & swimming in spring fed water is like the ocean. Once your legs get numb from the water, you can stay in forever
