Top Hotels Near Watchic Pond in Standish from NZ$235

"Furniture is torn up from cats, indoor trash cans were dirty we had to clean, mice droppings in kitchen cabinets, acrylic glassware needs replaced, mold in shower, bath towels very old, community coated with host on Friday am and never heard from him until Monday night."

"Had a wonderful overnight - was perfect weekend getaway. Was great being in nature!"

"We had a wonderful stay at the cottage. The space was comfortable, the view was perfect, having water activities was fun (even if it was a bit chilly during our stay), sitting on the dock was peaceful, and the stocked supplies made for an easy stay."

"This is our second time staying at this lovely home and it was even more memorable with all my little ones. I was able to have wonderful star gazing with a fire going in the fire pit and had enough space for the kiddos to run around. The house was as described, clean and cozy. The lake was less than 5 minute away with kayaks and fishing equipment provided. Thank you to Susan and Raymond for the great hosting. "

"The property was immaculate and well maintained and reflected significant pride of ownership...all very positive and welcoming. Major disappointment was learning two days before our arrival of a suggestion to provide your own drinking water. Probably something that should have been disclosed in listing as it could be a factor in deciding to rent. Moreover, given this suggestion re drinking water, it would have been a very welcome gesture to have a gallon or two available at check in.Would also recommend addressing drainage in bathtub. It was very slow and required you to stand in shower water as you were showering...unappealing at best and possibly unhealthy at worst."

"This house is cute with lots of area outside to explore. It's kept fairly clean, but we noticed lots of hair in the shower room and dirt under the rugs. The hosts had great communication which we appreciated. Some challenges we encountered was the lack of an actual stove/oven, no washer/dryer, and the shower being a completely separate room (which had no lock) from the rest of the bathroom. We had one towel each for the 5 days we stayed, which isn't something we are used to. I couldn't recommend this property to families with small children, as there are lots of ceramic pieces throughout which could be broken, and paper mache art for sale that could entice small hands. There is also no bathtub, so that would pose a challenge for bathtime with kids. We were a little disappointed that this property was not as secluded as we hoped. The road is a short distance from the house and clearly visible (and audible). The sunrises here are gorgeous, though. Unfortunately, the sacred circle was overgrown, and the pond was filled with algae. Our son thoroughly enjoyed looking for frogs in there! We appreciate the opportunity to stay, but our next visit will probably be either on the coast or closer to Acadia. Something that we didn't expect, being from the midwest, was the lack of "towns" here. We are used to every town having a center with businesses, shops, and restaurants. That is nonexistent here. Unless you're on the coast...which made the lack of laundry facilities a major issue. "

"Beautiful property, spacious, plenty of beds and super easy to get to the lake. Owner was very responsive throughout the process."
