Perfect for the situation

My mom, dog, and I attended a convention in New Milford about 15-20 minutes away from the cottage. It served us well and was really convenient that it was pet friendly. In a nice neighborhood Note: though it did not affect us, it’s definitely not a handicap accessible stay.

This is a beautiful home even if you live in the area and just want to spend the weekend at the lake, it’s a perfect getaway. We love that it was dog friendly. The host was wonderful and very accommodating. The house came stocked with everything that you would need for a perfect stay.

Quiet and Calm

Perfectly adorable house that was ideal for our brief getaway. I wish we had been able to use the kayak/canoe but time was tight. The only issue was the driveway which had me holding my breath a bit but luckily we were careful and managed without incident.

Cozy lakeside cabin

Well appointed cabin was perfect for a quick weekend up to visit friends. Would love to come back in warm weather to take advantage of the proximity to the beautiful lake. Thanks!

Excellent Property

The view was beautiful! Its close enough to water access but not right on the water. The bed was comfy, the place was clean, and firepit was a nice perk on a cooler night! If I'm ever traveling out that way again, I'd definitely stay again!

Good for weekend trip

Overall, nice for a weekend get away to do some kayaking on a lake. Owner communication was great, cottage was accurately described. Best for 1-2 people due to space (rather than a family). Cottage was clean (cleaning service was leaving as we arrived). As noted in other reviews, driveway is challenging when backing out, and could use a guard rail/stones, etc. to help. Steep hill to walk up/down from house, but access to lake is right across the street. Nice and quiet in the mornings.

Lovely pre-fall getaway

Perfect place for a last-minute getaway for two. While more can stay, it would definitely be a tight squeeze. It was great for two professors who needed a last break to get some work done and quiet before the fall semester starts. Thank you!

Nice place lots of character

We totally enjoyed the cabin and all it offered to us. We were a little disappointed in the beaches that you could walk too. They are close but not well maintained. Some of the photos make it seem like a nice beach is local. There is a nice beach but it’s a drive to the state park. Not so much a negative as setting expectations. The water view is wonderful. Amenities and location were great. Bed was super comfortable and multiple outdoor spaces to enjoy.

Long Weekend

Perfect weather for a getaway! Great location to get to get around. Cottage was perfect for us. Fire pit was great to hang out at. Went kayaking across the street. Beautiful lake. However, the access to the lake was a wee bit steep but we are in shape to handle it. All in all it was a great time!

Squantz Cottage Getaway

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Squantz Cottage. Property was well maintained, clean, and convenient. Parking at the cottage can be a little tricky backing out and getting on to the road. An option to park at the main house could be helpful. I would definitely rent again!

Clean & efficient

This sweet and clean cottage is depicted well in the pix.... we enjoyed our 2 night stay. I would urge a prospective renter to read the reviews. Accessibility with the drive can be a bit overwhelming-backing in off of busy route 39 and with an unprotected drop off into the yard. The steps are steep with some unevenness but once you get into the cottage it's charming.

2 night stay

The cottage was everything we needed. The bed and sofa were comfy and the rainfall shower was wonderful. The area was very quiet and relaxing. I would say that the driveway is a little harrowing because it’s on a ledge and the road in front is 45 mph, but we were able to back in most times that we parked the car. Overall we had a great experience.

Nice place to stay

Very nice place, very clean and has all the amenities. Not a place for someone with disabilities. As stated in the description, be very careful of going in and out of the driveway. It may be long, however it is not very trailer friendly, it is narrow and even the most expert of drivers need to pay close attention. It would beneficial to remove the stones on the street side and leave it grass. Also to add some solar lights as a guide. We brought our own because we knew we would be backing up during the dark hours.
