Despite density of lakeside houses, it was blissfully quiet. Great location near Peterborough, perfectly optimized between bucolic lake and amenities near town (Central Smith Creamery, Hard Winter Bakery, kayaking Peterborough lift locks). Perfect Dense star gazing at night with Milky Way disk edge brilliantly clear. Stars are notable. If you like stairs, this has plenty and they lead to different deck levels, so you can choose your favorite sunrise, sunset, lunch, dinner or relaxing location. If your have mobility challenges, the stairs might pose a challenge. For us, it was no problem and added to the character of the property. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place. It is not a fancy or glamorous modern stylish place, it is a lake house, and it works just fine if that if what you are seeking.
