About this house rental

On Red Mill Pond (a 178 acre, Delaware's largest fresh water body) 6 miles from Lewes, Delaware and the beaches

Close to movie theaters and outlet shopping and all the beaches have to offer.

Please read complete description and look closely at photos as house is sort of quirky and may pose a challenge for elderly dogs and elderly and young people.

4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms. Family room with kitchenette
Easily sleeps 8 people.

Renovated,, fully stocked gourmet kitchen, two story living room and dining room opening to a large deck overlooking the lake. Two story stone fireplace.

Dock with kayaks and canoe available for use. Large private yard fully fenced.

Third floor. loft bedroom with full bath (6' soaking tub) attached. (king bed)

Spiral staircases from first to second floor and from second to third floor. (outside stairs available from first floor to second floor.) Second floor is primary living area.

There is a $175 cleaning and linen fee.

This house and surroundings are a serene and quiet oasis. If you are a party of ten guys on golf outing, not for you. If you are 10 gals on a bachelorette excursion, not for you. It is great for multi generational family gatherings where every one can have their own spaces and relax and enjoy all the local amenities, Then have the fishing and kayaking on a beautiful, peaceful 175 acre "pond". A recent guest caught bass, catfish, white perch, yellow perch and blue gills.

Swimming in the pond is only feasible from kayaks away from dock area as shore is silty and mucky. Also, depending on rainfall and heat there can be a fair amount of algae near dock area.

Calming, beautiful retreat on the Red Mill Pond. Had everything we could need or want, including a set of canoes and kayaks. My husband and dogs loved every minute.

What a great house in a peaceful spot on the lake. East access to the beaches and plenty to do around the house. Brilliant space to spend time with the family and Bob was super helpful throughout.

We had such a wonderful time at this lakefront Delaware rental. The house and property is gorgeous! Family caught lots of fish in the pond and a short trip to the beaches. Perfect!

Lovely and interesting home that mixes lake access and a short drive to ocean and bay beaches. The nearby towns of Lewes and Rehoboth are full of activities, but staying at this property with its wild gardens and green space provides a quiet home base.

House is lovely, decor is warm and inviting. I always cook on my vacation and was happy that the house had everything you need to prepare big meals. The yard is out of this world spectacular. You just have to see the gardens to believe them. Beautiful view of the water. Loved the kayaks and canoe provided. Location is so convenient to the various Delaware beaches. Owner was very responsive to questions. Overall a fabulous house. Will rent again.

Perfect location. Beautiful gardens, the lake for fishing, close enough to the beach and boardwalk if that's more your thing. We saw birds and turtles on the lake. Having access to the kayaks was wonderful. We had a lovely stay. Highly recommend if you're looking for a private, peaceful option.

The property grounds were so beautiful because of all the plants and flowers. Our dog loved running around and exploring the large yard. We brought our kayaks and it was easy to launch from the dock. The house was as described and appliances, etc. were in working order. The kitchen had everything we needed. The house is on a quiet street but just a short drive to Lewes and the bay beach. The dining table was big enough to play games on. We loved that there wasn't a TV in the main living room.
