About this cottage rental
New dock being installed spring 2026! New deck installed Apr 2025.
Beautiful, peaceful lakefront cottage in the center of New England. Our home has everything you need for your waterfront retreat. Enjoy morning coffee or go fishing on your private dock. Step out the front door and you are at the community park and playground. Walk 2 minutes to the community beach or 5 minutes to the start of 7 miles of hiking trails. Golf is less than 5 minutes' drive and skiing is 25 minutes away. Breathtaking fall foliage, and snowmobiling and ice fishing in winter.
We have tried to think of everything you would need to make your stay enjoyable. The lake is a hidden gem. It is is so peaceful and quiet. The first thing that will catch your eye is the the private dock with composite decking. It has two Adirondack chairs to sit and soak in the amazing sounds and views or cast your fishing pole as the lake is stocked with several varieties of fish. The yard is large and flat. There are two decks with plenty of seating and a propane grill. On the grass there is more seating, a swing and a fire pit. A paddle boat, adult kayaks and children's kayaks are provided mid/late May through Columbus Day (weather permitting). The dock is removed during the same period of time for winter.
The space inside is bright, open and airy with plenty of space to unwind and relax. All the rooms have ceiling fans and we provide stand alone fans as well. During the summer months the MB and family room has air conditioning. For the cooler months there is central heating as well as an electric fireplace insert for ambiance and extra warmth. Fiber optic high speed Wifi is provided as well as Amazon Prime, Hulu and Disney Plus on both flatscreen televisions (no cable).
The newly renovated kitchen is stocked full with everything you may need from a Keurig for your morning breakfast to a blender for evening cocktails. It also includes a dishwasher so you don't have to do dishes on vacation:-) Help yourself to the coffee, tea, spices and condiments in the fridge.
The master bedroom is quite spacious and has a queen bed, flat screen, desk and plenty of storage. The second bedroom has two twin beds so perfect for kids and teens. The bonus family room has a leather couch as well as a futon. It also includes a flat screen, Blu-Ray player, DVDs, board games and some toys and puzzles. The entry foyer has a cozy reading area and a bookcase stocked with books for children and adults. In the closet here you will find a Pack and Play and a high chair if traveling with a little one.
The home has two full bathrooms. The vanity has a hair dryer and a basket of toiletries in case you forget to pack something. Bath Towels are provided but be sure to pack beach towels if you plan to use the lake. We also provide all the linens and blankets for the beds and futon. Should you need to do laundry during your stay there is a utility room with a washer and dryer, and here is where you will find the iron and ironing board as well.
Our vision for this property is a perfect couples' retreat or single family vacation. Our no party rule is a strict one. Please be respectful of our neighbors and their property. The maximum capacity of the home is 6 and and unregistered guests are not allowed in the property. There are many year-round residents on the lake so please respect quiet hours at 10pm. While we are pet lovers ourselves, pets are not allowed under any circumstance to continue to keep the space allergy free. This is our home and we spend as much time here with our children as possible. The home is very clean with many personal touches so please be mindful of that and leave the home in the same condition you found it.

Great view of the lake, however disappointed in several things. As soon as we arrived, a smoke detector was chirping. Host was very responsive when messaged& were able to resolve. However, there continued to be some other device that chirped throughout our stay. Never figured out what it was. Overall, whole place just seemed cheap well cleaned- kitchen sponge obviously used, leftover water from who knows when in the teapot, fans covered in dust. Lots of small things we could mention, but overall not clean& lots of rust on things. I've also never stayed in a place that didn't provide laundry detergent or Tide pods, so we had to go buy that. Microwave turntable doesn't work &the vents above are filthy. Expired condiments in fridge. I also feel like people who provide 2in1 shampoo/conditioner &zero-ply individually wrapped toilet paper rolls are just ng cheap. Master bedroom mattress was very uncomfortable. Place just seemed junky overall- like when the owners have crap they don't want at their house they put it in this one- i.e. kitchen drawers just filled with junk, 1000 pens, etc. We also contacted the owner about the kitchen sprayer that wouldn't turn off- they offered to come by the next day to fix it, so that was nice. So overall, enjoyed the location &the quiet &my kids loved the toys that were provided& the selection of books, &all the squirrels &chipmunks that would visit. Also appreciated kids stepstool in bathroom &offer of late checkout, but wouldn't stay again.
