About this property
Serene 2-bedroom, 2-bath lakefront retreat on scenic Staffordville Lake
This idyllic 2-bedroom, 2-bath lakefront retreat on scenic Staffordville Lake accommodates up to 8 guests (4 beds + 1 sleeper sofa), offering an unforgettable experience for your family. Enjoy breathtaking views from the cozy living area or the private deck. Kayak (2 included), swim off the floating dock, stargaze, grill out and enjoy your coffee on the deck! Separate workspace and free Wi-Fi for those working from home. Perfect for Brimfield Antique attendees. This is a private home, available to enjoy. It is built on a hill, though, so it does require steps down to the house and more steps down to the decks and lake. This space is no smoking, no pets and no parties. Due to the steepness of the inside stairs and the number of stairs to/from the house and lake, I don’t recommend this space for toddlers or very young children. 
Guests access this home by a door code on the front door. Once inside, the decks can also be accessed through the downstairs slider. Guests can access all of the finished parts of the house plus use the washer dryer in the unfinished part of the basement. Kayaks, a swimming dock (seasonal), and a charcoal grill are available for your outdoor usage. Star gazing is encouraged! Indoors you will find games to play and high speed internet for working or streaming your favorite shows/movies (streaming services are the responsibility of the tenant). A fully stocked kitchen will allow you to cook Michelin star meals and cocktails for all. The kitchen includes a coffee pot (drip) with filters, toaster, dishwasher, microwave oven, full stove and oven and many more amenities such as a waffle maker and blender. The master bedroom has a queen sized bed and armoire and overlooks the lake. The second bedroom has a double bed and twin bunk beds for a total of 4 separate beds. The couch in the living room is a sleeper sofa, allowing for one more sleeping space. There is a full bathroom upstairs and a full bathroom downstairs by the work space/reading nook/doors to the deck. This home is ready for you to drop in, relax and enjoy the lake and beautiful New England views! The only rules we have are: no parties, no smoking inside and no pets (we have external cameras). Book now for a relaxing stay!
