Merritt's Mill Pond Hideaway - 2.5 acres of waterfront paradise

Escape to our peaceful Merritt's Mill Pond Hideaway! Nestled on 2.5 private acres with 300ft of gorgeous waterfront, this rural retreat offers a balance of nature and comfort. Swim, kayak, or snorkel from your dock. Watch wildlife from deer to eagles, then marvel at starry skies so clear you'll spot the Milky Way.

Fun and Relaxing

The property was everything they stated and more!! The kitchen had everything you could have imagined to prepare meals with along with the gas grill outside. There was a good assortment of games to play and we did play some of them. The outside is very well maintained and there are kayaks there to use so you don’t have to rent them. A 15 minute ride will get you to several different area attractions which makes it a great location. We have absolutely no complaints with this VRBO.
