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.

Perfect Getaway Spot!

We enjoyed our time here at this cottage. Yes, it's rustic, but that's part of its charm. We had everything we needed. The lake was absolutely beautiful. We swam and kayaked every day. We would love to come back again.

Get away and gathering

It was our fourth or fifth year renting the cabin. Great place to get away and have a one day family gathering. It was well furnished, the exterior cooking area was great once again. Probably be back next year.

We were impressed with this property as so as we arrived. This home is rustic and very peaceful and quiet. We were surprised at all this contained. Only needed our clothes and food everything else was provided. Thank you Chris for everything it was a pleasure talking with you . Thank you for the delicious maple syrup you make and provided. We are looking forward to seeing you again next year.

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.

Pond, Weather, Location

Loved the pond, weather was perfect for being in the water, location is private & quiet. The cottage needs a few things to be looked at. I left the owner a note. Otherwise we had a perfect 10 vacation on Brettuns Pond. We will be back.
