Orwell Cabin on Sunrise Lake w/ Private Dock & BBQ

The house has a gorgeous view and a great dock for swimming. The kayaks at the house were great and there were life jackets provided. There was a lot of debris, dirty old yard games and stuff piled on the porch on the lower level which kind of felt junky. There were also a lot of ants in the kitchen. A sunken hold in the floor in one of the bathrooms and one upstairs by the back doors. Also if you’re going when there is warm weather the house might be warm. There are only AC units in the mai. Areas so if you want cold air in your room overnight you will have to sleep with all the bedroom doors open. Our trip was in June with unusually warm weather for the area. It was fine and with the bedroom doors open everyone slept comfortably. There were also plug in fans provided for the bedrooms upstairs. The other reviews are right about the roads. We had Jeeps so the roads were fine for us but if you had anything larger it might be a very tight squeeze through the overgrown sides and the narrow dirt trail. It really was a great experience there were just a few little things like cleanliness and the bugs that really bothered us. But it’s a BEAUTIFUL house and our kids had a GREAT time swimming!!!

Wonderful stay. Simply a beautiful location.

The lights in the kitchen living area were always flickering unless we had them on full power and all lights on. This was so distracting that we just turned bedroom lights on for ambient illumination in the living area.The floor corners were filled with dust, dirt, spiders, cobwebs. Upon looking further the cobwebs continued up the wall corners and were filled with dead bugs and plenty of spiders. Cleanings for incoming guests should be timely within a few days of their arrival to avoid spider and cobweb build up. They were in just about EVERY corner of the house. Underneath the bathroom vanity in basement there were dirty Qtips, and other items that were intended for the garbage but ended up pushed under the sink area. Pillow cases were not on the pillows on two of the beds. When we tried to lock the lower level door to the outside, it was broken. I understand this is Vermont and very safe BUT to get into the house with such security and to find alternate ways in which had no locking ability made us uncomfortable. We had valuable jewelry, computers, and other items which when away from the property, we were concerned the whole time. Upon waking the first morning, making breakfast I found sauce pans covered in old food and the pantry area to store our food was filled with crumbs and mice droppings.

Very pleased. Kitchen was equipped with everything that could be needed or wanted. Deck was great, fire-pit was good, and there were more than adequate games and things to do when it rained. Bedrooms were adequate and clean, bathrooms were fine...couldn't have asked for anything better. And there were loons on the lake, which was certainly an extra. Would highly recommend it.

Very nice home. Be prepared to walk down the stairs to get to the dock! Very nice lake near by for swimming. 4 stars because Beds and furniture are very, very uncomfortable
