About this house rental

Your Private Lakeside Hideaway, Just a Short Climb Away
This 2-bedroom, 1-bath retreat checks every box on your lake house wish list: a cozy brick fireplace, pristine water views, and the kind of quiet that resets your whole week.
Access note: The property is reached by a long set of stairs down to the water. It's what keeps this spot so private and peaceful, and the views along the way are a preview of what's waiting. Pack light or bring a small cart. Not ideal for guests with mobility limitations.
Once settled, paddle across glassy water in the morning or cast a line for early fishing. In autumn, nearby trails glow with brilliant foliage. Evenings are made for the fireplace.
Ski mountains, breweries, apple orchards, and scenic hikes are all minutes away, making this the quintessential New England getaway.

8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2026
This was a great experience at a wonderful location. We would be do it again.There are elements you should be aware of. First those stairs, if you have any issues with stairs these will test you. I believe our granddaughter counted 78 stairs. Challenging for us older (80) folks. We accommodated 6 adults sleeping arrangements just fine but note- there is only one small bathroom. If you’re travelers who are used to accommodating each others bathroom schedules it works ok but establish some rules if anyone’s a newbie. Also, they are very specific regarding clean up. However we found that the grill had not been cleaned by the previous tenants. Just fyi.That’s it enjoy, the lake is gorgeous, kayaking is awesome. Sit on the deck or pier and soak it all in.

We stayed for four nights for the kid’s Spring Break from school. Everything about the house was perfect. We were able to have a blast with the kayaks. The house had plenty of safety vests and other equipment. Walmart will deliver to the house so food shopping was a breeze. We will definitely be back.
