First: the owners were super-responsive. The house was exactly as pictured: modern, clean, and comfortable. All the facilities were in great shape. The deck and the view are probably the greatest feature, though we also really enjoyed the basement TV room.
I would say that we were probably older (late 60s/early 70s) than the house and property were designed for. You need sure footing to get down the bank to the shore. That said, my sister swam twice a day, which was the main purpose of our stay.
The town of Newport Center has more than everything one would want -- groceries, farm stands, restaurants, and super stores like Walmart and Price Chopper. We even went to the movies one day, and drove into Quebec another.
For families who like to boat and fish, the house is ideal. We didn't do either and still had a lovely time.
