We love this place! It's private, yet close to amenities. I grew up on this pond spending summers from the age of four 245. I was so excited to find another place on the pond that reminded me of my family cottage. Can't wait to get back!

Sweet Vintage Cottage

This is truly a vintage cottage with a private waterfront setting.The cottage is very comfortable. I was there with my two goldens, plenty of room for them to swim and run. This would be a great spot for a family with young children. My only disappointment: I was expecting a kayak as pictured in the listing.

Amazing!

I grew up on this pond and finding this rental was like a needle in a haystack. The place is beautiful and there is plenty of privacy. The swimming area was perfect for our two dogs and my 5 year old grandchild. We will definitely be coming back every year! We are so happy to finally find a place that we can consistently go to!

This is a wonderful, very private property with easy access to the water. Communication with the owner was great. The lake was generally quiet, and there were a few days when I was the only one out there on my kayak. The property was spacious enough to take the dogs for a couple walks a day and never have to leave the property. We were thrilled to find 2 organic farms/markets within about 10 miles and didn’t need to venture out further than that. The house was well stocked with everything we needed. The dock was usable but could use a little repair/upgrade. Overall this property provided everything we needed for a near perfect vacation.
