The rental process was seamless and very organized. I love how you require the properties to have all the amenities that you do. I have rented other houses and havent really been able to cook because the kitchen barely had a pan.
Property
We absolutely LOVED our stay at the Safe House. The house itself is beautiful and has everything and more of what you need to stay, be comfortable, and cook for a week. Obviously the lake and the dock stand out but as far as the interior of the house we lived how open and airy it is allowing family to be together while cooking and relaxing. The property was spotless!!! Extremely clean.

We were very pleased with the overall size and location of Safe Harbor. The house was spacious and very well stocked with everything you would need. The only suggestion we have is to supply some outdoor seating. A picnic table to enjoy lunch at and chairs on the dock would be a great addition. It was wonderful to be back on Meguntacook Lake!!!

Safe Harbor was a beautiful home and the first time we've stayed on Lake Megunticook. It was a beautiful home, well equipped, and the master room AC came in very handy since it got up to 90 degrees. We rented a canoe so used it off the dock and the water was so pretty and clear.
