About the host

Hosted by Sarah Holcomb

Host profile image

We are Sarah, Joel and David Holcomb. We are the 2nd generation to grow up spending summers on this lake. We are eager to share this relaxing oasis and hope you will make happy memories with your family and friends, just as we have.

Why they chose this property

This cottage was built by our grandfather and great-grandfather in the 1940s. The photo of us at the lake is circa 1976. Our parents had the cottage enlarged and winterized in 1990. They lived here for a time as their primary residence. It’s a wonderful spot for family vacations, a gathering of friends, quality quiet time or a special holiday.

What makes this property unique

Big Pond is a lovely lake approx 1 mile across, and 1.5 miles long, stocked with fish, and a great place to paddle around. While there are many cottages, it is not overcrowded with people or powerboats. There is a charming village nearby with a country store, roadside syrup stands, and a local ice cream shop. Along with all of the cultural attractions as close as 15 minutes, there are also several small and large ski slopes very close as well.
