Enjoy the indoors:
The well-equipped in the main house kitchen has a granite-topped island, and built-in table with upholstered benches in the breakfast nook. The 'Lighthouse Cottage' has a galley kitchen, with a stove and refrigerator, and prettily custom painted cabinets.
The family sitting room contains lots of comfortable sofas and overstuffed chairs, as well as cushioned bench seating around it's perimeter looking out over Long Pond and the side gardens. Ther is also a table and seating for games or what you will. Off the spacious dining room, a Butler's pantry with a wine cooler.
Cable TVs in all bedrooms in the main house, and in the sitting room of the 'lighthouse' cottage.
There are Air conditioners and fans to dispel humidity, but most folks enjoy sleeping with the windows open to catch the breezes.
Windows, windows, windows - a profusion of light.
Lots and lots of books to read, DVDs to watch, games to play. Wireless Internet.
Play Outside:
On Long Pond - kayak, paddle, swim, fish. Fishing rods and lures supplied - you'll need to get your own worms though. If you have a motor boat, a 9.9 hp engine is the MAX allowed on the pond. (As this is a private little beach, there are no lifeguards, and use of the pond is at visitors own risk.)
Badminton net, racquet's and shuttlecocks are supplied, as is a set of golf clubs and a golf net for practicing.
Two Kayaks and a peddle boat. A big gas grill.
Beach toys, sand shovels and pails, beach balls, life jackets - all here for your enjoyment.
Lawn and beach chairs, a hammock - what else? Look around, see what you find - play.
At saltwater Craigville Beach, calm water, lifeguards, food, changing rooms and restrooms. Parking is $15. per day or buy a weekly sticker for $50. both available at attendant's booth.
