Summer Family Fun

We had a great family time here as an end-of-summer vacation; plenty of fun in the water, quiet mornings on the deck, and family bonding with games and movies inside when it rained. We cooked great meals everyday in the kitchen, grilled on the patio, kayaked the lake, had fires in the firepit by the water, and generally enjoyed everything about our stay!Looking forward to the next time!
Response from VrboOwner on 3 September 2026

My family had an excellent and relaxing stay at this beautiful lake cottage. Well equipped, cozy and bright. Easy access to the pond for fishing and kayaking. Loved drinking my morning coffee on the deck, looking at the water and listening to the birds. Definitely recommended!

Winter stay

I could not have encountered a more relaxing, clean and enjoyable cottage. The place was new and squeaky clean. The owner was incredibly hospitable, and the facility is right on the lake, which made it even more exceptional. I look forward to coming back again and again.

Rental was a great experience

The total experience was fantastic from the moment that we first arrived right to the time that we left to return home..The owners had provided everything that was promised. The property was spotless.If we had any questions, we received a response to our text messages immediately.As the property is literally lakeside, we were offered the use of their kayaks (which we did use); they have a fire pit which was made available.The owners were fantastic!Before we left, we booked our next stay.Could not have asked for a better experience.

Hooked on Nature was an amazing place to stay! Host checked in to make sure everything was going ok and if we needed anything. The house was very clean and well laid out. Ample supply of linens. Wide variety of kitchen items and dishes. We sat out on back deck and drank coffee and watched the fog roll of the lake every morning! View was gorgeous! Definitely 5 stars and we will be a repeat customer.

The lake house was perfect for our trip and 100% accurate in it's description and photos. Communication with the hosts was excellent and prompt. The home was clean and updated and had everything you needed in the kitchen. There were nice kayaks available though we didn't get to them but the kids loved the fire pit, fishing in the lake, and playing corn hole in the back yard. This was a golf trip with my son and one of his friends so we had plenty of space and activities and there is Putnam, CT just south or Webster, MA just to the north for restaurants, supermarkets, etc. Also plenty of golf courses within 30 minute drive. Definitely a great lake house in a quiet community!

We're so glad the lake house was everything you hoped for! It's wonderful to hear the home was accurate, clean, and well-stocked, and that communication was easy along the way. Sounds like a perfect golf trip, with the kids enjoying the fire pit, corhole and fishing! Hope to host you again!

This place is amazing! We loved everything about it and will stay here again if we are near Boston. We were here for a baseball tournament in Westborough. The kids caught fish, we went kayaking. Just all around great experience. The host was very responsive and helpful. Thank you very much for letting our family enjoy your place!!
