Waterfront Cottage on Scenic Sportsman Pond

We had a good time. The place is extremely clean, and peaceful. It was nice that it was pet friendly and we could bring our dog. The pond really wasn’t for swimming and the kids were disappointed. We tried some fishing and the second day out on the canoe we did catch some small perch. The pond was really low and only a few feet deep. It’s a great place for peace and quiet.

This home is located on a large pond/small lake that doesn’t have a lot of other properties on it so it’s super quiet. The house has a very cool 1950’s retro vibe but has all the modern amenities you would need for your stay. It can sleep up to 8 comfortably but we were only 4 for most of our stay. We had 2 visitors who used the pull out sofas one night. They said they were comfortable for a pull out. The 2 beds in the bedroom were very comfortable. Linda has thought of everything and the property is quite big. I’ve also never had such a thorough tour and greeting from Becky the property manager who was very kind. We didn’t spend a lot of time at the property bc we were visiting family on Laurel lake but we did do a kayak tour on the pond one morning and it was really zen. Only thing to know here is that the water has a ton of minerals and you can see and smell it but I have a feeling we were the first guests this year and they are working on it. They provided 2 cases of water bottles which was great bc we didn’t know about the water but I recommend bringing some large water containers as those little bottles are terrible for the environment. The house was spotless and there’s AC’s for your comfort but honestly we didn’t need them it was cool at night. This isn’t a high end house it’s a cottage meant for getting away and it didn’t disappoint. Lots of boats to use as well. I recommend highly. Linda the owner is very responsive and accommodating as well.

Sportsman's Pond and Blueberry Cottage provided the ideal location for disconnecting from the noise and busyness of every day life. The pond was beautifully serene, without outboard motors, jet skis, etc. The fall colors were gorgeous. The hosts provided every sort of watercraft one might want. I kayaked everyday exploring the shoreline and watching for birds. The cottage was well equipped, the bed was comfortable and an assortment of chairs and couches were available for lounging, viewing the lake and simply reading or napping. There was plenty of hot water. Floor heaters were provided to counter the fall temperatures. Bottled water was in ample supply for those who prefer a non-mineral taste. We returned home refreshed, relaxed and revitalized.

Very clean, very private and secluded. What a hidden gem!
