Great updated cozy place!

Beautiful views and great amenities! The Host provided all the amenities of home and was accessible when we needed help. The beds were comfy and we loved the 4 seasons porch for views and morning coffee. It was amazing to be able to use the kayaks to explore the lake. This place was wonderful!

Had a great time

My family wanted a little getaway and this beautiful cottage fit the bill. The house was very clean and had everything you needed. Great fishing right off the dock made my 3 boys very happy. Great place to unplug and recharge. Will defiantly be looking to rent again in the future.

Charming Cottage

We felt very welcome at the cottage. Our hosts provided all of the amenities like linens, towels, paper products, condiments, and even a s'more basket! There were children's toys and lots of extras. A very cozy and comfortable cottage. The kids loved being able to swim off the dock. We enjoyed our stay very much.

We loved that there was only 1 television in the whole house which made the kiddos enjoy the lake and being outdoors. Even though there was Wi-Fi we were disconnected from social media. Amazing time. Would book again.

Quick family trip

This was a great location for us to stay and the outside space was perfect for our family to visit and have dinner. The pictures on the listing were accurate My only feedback would be to remove some of the personal belongings - even though this is a second home. I would hate to see something happening to the beautiful family photos and items.

We hope to stay here again!

We loved our stay here! Right on the lake, with beautiful view windows and plenty of seating on the patios. The kayaks were thoroughly enjoyed & the fishing was great. After very long, exhausting days at the competition we were in town for, this was the perfect place to come back to each day. The beds were comfortable, the heat worked well on cold nights, and there was plenty of parking for our needs. Hillsdale is a close drive for groceries, restaurants, etc. The owner/contact person always replied promptly to any questions. We would definitely stay here again!

Charming little lakeside home perfect for relaxing stay

We were taking our two sons to college at Hillsdale and just needed 3 nights. It’s a little lame house tucked between similar houses. Beautiful back yard with plenty of seating and lake charms. The mornings are gorgeous we watched the mist and the turtles on the water with binoculars provided by the hosts. Would definitely stay again! Clean, comfy, and the hosts even had s’mores makings with utensils for over the bonfire pit which we did use. Very thoughtful!

Amazing Weekend!

We had a wonderful stay at Lakeside Lodge! Amazing sunroom with a breeze for playing cards and watching the boats. Comfortable beds, central air for hotter days, 2 full baths & excellent kitchen & grill to save on eating out. Great dock & 3 kayaks to explore the lake. You even had kid friendly, comfortable furniture for the baby to crawl/walk around! Thank you, Patti, for a fantastic weekend!

Lake house getaway

The four of us had a great, relaxing time at this lake house. We fished, kayaked and hiked parts of the North Country Trail. The multiple places to sit inside to eat, have coffee and a cold beverage where very nice. The beds were super comfy. Building a fire at the pit was also enjoyable. Nearby brewery and restaurants were good as we did cook in as well. The neighbors were friendly and helpful. Patti was also very responsive with questions. We would return.

Host profile image
I enjoy sharing my home when I am not able to be at the lake myself. its a great place to make memories as I've made many myself! I hope your stay will be wonderful and one you will remember fondly for years to come. Sincerely, Patti.

What makes this property unique

My home is 50 feet straight up from the lake, I have a beautiful big tree for shade in the heat of the afternoon, there is a great swimming area to stay cool and spend hours floating or swimming! there is also a swim raft to lay on. I enjoy the outdoors tremendously during the summer months.
