Postcard Cabins Machimoodus, Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy
I loved everything about it ! It's a quiet place in the woods, it had everything you might need, even firewood and s'mores. Staff very efficient and responsive.

Cliffside Resort Condominiums
The unit was cute and well-appointed. I would recommend a new refrigerator in the unit, as the freezer door was broken.

Rustic Lakeside Cabin at White Gate Farm
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at White Gate Farm. The private cabin was perfect for our three-day getaway. The lake view was amazing, and the cabin was clean, appropriately appointed and incredibly comfortable. Would definitely recommend!
