About this property

Quaint cottage located directly on Long Meadow Pond

Wonderful lakefront cottage with a sun porch, sunny deck, 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, beautiful sunsets, and your own private boat dock. Enjoy a quiet family getaway as you relax on the deck while your kids fish and swim. Ideal for families looking to relax and disconnect.

The kitchen is fully outfitted and cottage includes a gas grill, heat, and air conditioning. You will also have the use of kayaks, paddle boards, a canoe, and a row boat with a motor. Pond only allows electric motors so it is nice and quiet. We have numerous fishing poles, fishing tackle, and life jackets of all sizes.

Includes cable and Wi-Fi.

The cottage does NOT include a dishwasher or washer/dryer. The laundromat is named Washerwoman of Litchfield. They can be reached at 860-567-9917.

The cottage is located 2 hours from NYC and fifteen minutes from local wineries and beautiful Connecticut sightseeing including hiking trails at White Memorial (White Memorial is a 4000-acre nature preserve with miles of hiking and biking trails--trail map available at the cottage). Wonderful restaurants and shopping are located in nearby Litchfield, CT. We also have many board games, Foosball, old fashioned Atari, a Wii, and air hockey. There is also a host of DVD's and a DVD player, as well.

The cottage outfitted with both heat and A/C and also makes a perfect winter get away. The lake is great for ice skating and ice fishing. We are also a short drive to several downhill ski mountains including Mohawk Mountain and Ski Sundown and close by to White Memorial for cross country skiing.

I would be happy to discuss the cottage details and welcome you over the phone. We are practicing social distancing and do not plan to meet you at the cottage.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend at the cottage on Bantam Lake. The cottage is very comfortable, clean and attractive with a spectacular view of the lake. We would definitely return and would enjoy a summer stay with access to the lake and private beach.

Lakefront cottage, dock, view

We loved this well equipped cottage with great views of the lake and sunsets. A quiet lake (electric motors only). Choose a rod from the rack and fish from the dock, or use the available canoe, kayak, paddle boards, or rowboat.

Lakeview was awesome, cozy cottage with everything you needed, sitting out on the deck having coffee, or watching the sunset at night with a fire lite. Very relaxing atmosphere. For the price you cannot beat it!

We thoroughly enjoyed our four day stay at Maura’s cozy cottage. Cottage feels more spacious than website pictures convey. Sunsets on the lake were spectacular. Maura was a great host. Easily and quickly answering all questions asked. We’ll be back. Thanks again Maura.

Bethlehem Lake cottage

Absolutely adorable cottage on the lake! We loved this quiet little house—we read books, slept in, grilled dinner and watched the sunrise and sunset on the deck. Loved every minute of it. We hope to return someday!

Wonderful stay!

The property was great, and fulfilled our needs to see a little bit of fall! The cottage was comfortable, and had all the amenities we needed! We enjoyed sitting on the dock, and even caught a couple of fish! The host provided linens as we were traveling by plane from out of town, that was appreciated. However, there was no bath mat, or mats for the back door (it rained one day, and a mat was needed!) The only other issue was there were no trash bags provided, so taking the trash with us was difficult! Overall, it was such a lovely place and we would definitely return!

Serene lake cottage

We had another wonderful stay at this well equipped lake cottage, and we plan to return. The lake is quiet with only paddling or electric motors. Close to White memorial hiking trails, and also to restaurants in Bantam, Bethlehem, and Litchfield.

Delightful location and pleasant accommodations

Greatly enjoyed this stay - beautiful location. Some minor quibble with mattress comfort and not the best pots and pans/utensils however these were not deal breakers by any means. Would highly recommend.

Perfect Getaway

My wife and I came back for a return visit to this comfortable, well-equipped cottage perfectly situated with a large deck as well as dock on a pretty lake. Swimming was great and the surrounding area is very pretty. Maura couldn't have been more responsive as a host. It is located off a small road (10 per hour speed limit!) with access only for the owners' properties, so no through-traffic sounds.

About the host

Hosted by Maura

Host profile image
Back in 1995, my grandmother wanted to find a peaceful cottage to spend her summers. After looking at many cottages at many lakes, she chose Kasson Grove to spend her time. A peaceful and quiet area, she enjoyed herself immensely and had many gathering with her friends and family year after year until her passing.

Since taking over the cottage with my brother, we have striven to keep things simple and quiet. We have done many cottage updates over the years, the last being a new roof and air conditioning in 2019.

My brother and I, along with the rest of our extended family, have enjoyed the lake cottage so much over the years. However, now that our own children are getting older and busier, we have decided that others should also have the opportunity to enjoy a quiet and restful retreat. We began renting the cottage in the last few years, and continue to listen to suggestions to make your stay as enjoyable as possible.

Why they chose this property

This property is exceptional for those families and couples who are looking to get away to enjoy the splendors of nature. Set directly on Long Meadow Pond, the views, sunsets, and peaceful area will win you over immediately. There are enough "water toys" for the entire family to enjoy together, and with comfortable climate control, cable, WiFi, and a host of games and movies, it's the perfect getaway. Also, the community boasts its own private beach, as well.

What makes this property unique

Comfort, quiet, and relaxation so close to home is just what the doctor ordered for you and your family. Private enough to feel like your 1000 miles away from home, yet close enough to make your stay a reality. Only minutes from shopping and restaurants, yet set in such a peaceful area, is a benefit that stands out above all others.
