About this cottage rental
With a long history of welcoming guests to Lake Horace since the 1950s, come to Windswept Cottage and enjoy a relaxing stay in a beautiful setting all year round. Fully renovated and restored to it's former rustic charm, with attention to details that renters will appreciate. You'll love long summer days taking advantage of the lake and relaxing on the dock or enjoying a firepit after a day in the sun. Come back to enjoy winter on the snowy trails of Pat's Peak, less than a 15 minute drive away.
The space:
Enjoy single story living in this cozy, renovated cottage with an open-concept floor plan and full kitchen, decorated with attention to detail that guests will appreciate. There are two separate living areas, each with comfortable seating and televisions, so families can relax and enjoy spending time together. Enjoy the views and your morning coffee from our spacious deck while listening to the loons, or relax in the lounge chairs on the dock while your family swims or fishes in the clear waters of Horace Lake.
We have a large canoe along with 2 adult-size and 1 child-size kayaks with lifejackets included if you want to explore more of the lake's natural beauty. When you need a break, curl up with a good book in the hammock, surrounded by nature at the edge of our large grassy yard. Wind down your evening by stargazing while roasting s'mores at our large firepit, right at the water's edge.
Check out our Insta @windswept_cottage for more inspiration and to see pictures of the dramatic renovation!
Other things to note:
This is a renovated historic 1920s cottage, and, while fully updated, there are some quirks. Our water source is from a well, and we have a Brita pitcher in the fridge available for your hydration needs. There is no dishwasher, but there is a dish rack and we encourage paper plates to help you spend less time cleaning up. There are fans in all of the rooms, as we do not have AC.
We are located in a neighborhood of lakefront homes, and we ask that you respect our neighbors by observing quiet hours between 10pm- 7am. No parties are allowed and there is no street parking available. Guests who do not respect quiet hours will be asked to leave without refund.

Hosts were very responsive every time I contacted them. We loved our little family get away and made more great memories. Couple of coffee nuts in the family who didn't like the keurig for their coffee so they went out each morning and found a cafe or whatever to satisfy their addiction. Otherwise we are grateful for the weekend we had in the cottage, everything was perfect

Great little cabin. Has everything you need tk just show up and enjoy! Lake was frozen enough to skate, small hill in the yard was perfect for the kids to sled.

House was perfect for a long weekend with friends. The lake was so pretty with such great views. The house was comfortable and set up perfectly to sit around and have a great conversations with friends. The beds were comfortable and the house was warm and comfortable. The kitchen was all we needed, but we mostly ate out so didn't do any heavy cooking. The house was clean overall, but the bathroom had some cobwebs (like a true lake house would). Highly recommend and would stay again.
