Cute Clean Cottage
We enjoyed our stay here. We lacked nothing -stocked well with linens, paper goods and kitchen items. The reception on the TV was not great. We had trouble finding the road as there was no road sign. The rental itself was fine

Quiet, comfortable home on Drummond
Our family really enjoyed our stay at the Markus retreat. It is perfectly sized for 4-5 people, and has most everything you'll need. You'll have to drive most anywhere you want to go (grocery, restaurant, beaches, etc), but that was fine with us.... While there it was very quiet and laid back.

Quiet Retreat
We had deer visiting almost every day. I saw many more when I went for a run. Near enough to the marina to walk - where we took our grandchildren to fish. Pleasant home with many extras (toys and games) for the kids to play with. A small movable dishwasher on wheels would have been a nice touch so we didn't have to do dishes while on vacation. Like others have posted, the water was very hard. Suggest guests bring bottled water or a Berkey (we did both). As many kitchen items as there were, there were no measuring cups. All in all very enjoyable and we would go there again. The street does not have a name on it, and the house does not have a number. We suggest the owner take steps to provide both. We actually had a UPS delivery made there and the driver fortunately found us.
