About this property
Blue Horizon Retreat on Little Bald Lake – 5BR Waterfront Cottage
Welcome to Villa Somnia, a lakeside retreat on the peaceful shores of Little Bald Lake. This thoughtfully designed five-bedroom cottage offers the perfect balance of comfort, style, and natural beauty. Whether you’re planning a summer family vacation, a getaway with friends, or simply a quiet escape by the water, this property has everything you need for an unforgettable stay.
The cottage sits directly on the lakefront, surrounded by mature trees and open views of the water. Its design blends modern living with the relaxed charm of a classic lakeside home. The open-concept main floor features a bright and spacious kitchen, dining, and living area where large windows frame panoramic views of the lake. Natural light fills the space throughout the day, while the soft evening glow creates a warm and peaceful atmosphere. It’s the kind of place where mornings begin with coffee overlooking the water and evenings end with quiet conversations as the sun sets.
The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to prepare family meals or entertain guests, including full-sized appliances, cookware, and serving essentials. The open layout makes it easy to stay connected with everyone while cooking, dining, or relaxing in the adjoining living area. The living room itself is comfortably furnished, offering plenty of seating for the whole group to unwind after a day of outdoor activities.
The main floor includes three comfortable bedrooms and two well-appointed bathrooms, each designed with simplicity and relaxation in mind. Soft linens, gentle lighting, and thoughtful touches throughout create an inviting environment for rest and privacy. Upstairs, the master suite provides an additional level of comfort and seclusion. This open-concept bedroom includes its own private bathroom and access to a secluded terrace that overlooks the lake—a quiet sanctuary perfect for early morning reflection or late-night stargazing.
Above the detached garage, you’ll find a cozy bunk room that serves as a playful hideaway for kids or an additional sleeping area for guests. It’s a favorite spot for younger visitors, offering a sense of adventure and independence while still being close to the main house.
Outside, the property continues to impress. The land slopes gently toward the lake, creating a spacious and safe area for children to play and explore. Two large terraces face the water, providing the perfect spaces for sunbathing, outdoor dining, or simply relaxing with a book. The lakefront area itself is ideal for swimming, kayaking, and paddleboarding, and a private dock allows easy access to the water for boating or fishing. Guests are welcome to use the provided kayaks and stand-up paddleboard for quiet exploration of Little Bald Lake and its scenic surroundings.
As evening approaches, the property transforms into a peaceful lakeside haven. The outdoor fire pit invites families and friends to gather together, share stories, and enjoy the simplicity of life under the stars. The stillness of the lake, the gentle sound of water against the shore, and the clear night sky create an atmosphere that captures the true spirit of cottage living.
Beyond the property, guests will find plenty to explore. The region around Little Bald Lake is known for its natural beauty, with nearby hiking trails, scenic lookouts, and charming small towns to discover. Local wineries and cider houses offer the perfect opportunity to experience the area’s flavors, while markets and shops nearby provide everything you need for a relaxing stay. Whether you spend your days on the water, exploring the countryside, or simply unwinding at the cottage, every moment here feels like a step away from the noise of everyday life.
For everyone’s safety and comfort, there are two security cameras installed outside the property. One is a doorbell camera at the main entrance, and the other is located at the back, facing the open area near the dock. These cameras are strictly for security purposes and do not record footage. There are no cameras inside the cottage or in any private outdoor areas, ensuring complete privacy for all guests.
Please note that the indoor fireplace is not operational, and firewood is not provided. Guests can, however, make full use of the outdoor fire pit for evening fires and gatherings. It’s the perfect setting for roasting marshmallows, enjoying quiet conversations, or simply watching the stars reflect on the lake.
Guests traveling with pets are welcome, but we ask that all pets be kept on a leash while on the property and never left unattended inside the cottage. This helps ensure the safety of your pet, the comfort of future guests, and the preservation of the property. A fee of $250 will apply for any pet-related damages.
To keep the property clean and enjoyable for everyone, guests are asked to dispose of garbage responsibly at the nearest transfer station. Directions and details are provided in the check-in instructions. Leaving garbage behind on the property will result in a $200 penalty, as it’s important to maintain a clean and welcoming environment for all guests.
Parking is available for up to five vehicles, all of which must be parked on the driveway. Street parking is not permitted, and vehicles should not block access points or be parked on the grass or landscaped areas. These simple rules help maintain both the safety and beauty of the property.
Every detail of the cottage has been designed to create a sense of peace, connection, and comfort. The open spaces, natural surroundings, and thoughtful amenities come together to provide a setting that feels both luxurious and familiar. Whether you’re spending quiet mornings on the terrace, paddling across the calm lake waters, sharing dinner with family as the sun sets, or simply sitting by the fire at night, this is a place that invites you to slow down and truly enjoy the moment.
Guests will have full access to the property during their stay, including the main cottage, the bunk room, the terraces, and the lakefront area. Inside, a selection of board games and activities is available for family fun or friendly competition. Outside, the lake is your playground—perfect for swimming, kayaking, or paddleboarding. The property offers endless opportunities to create lasting memories with those who matter most.
A stay here is more than just a vacation; it’s an experience that combines the tranquility of nature with the comfort of a well-appointed home. From sunrise to sunset, every corner of the property is designed to help you reconnect—with family, with friends, and with the simple beauty of lakeside living.
Villa Somnia is a place where time slows down, laughter carries across the water, and days are filled with light, peace, and joy. It’s a destination that captures the essence of summer and the calm that only a true lakeside retreat can offer. Whether you visit for a weekend or an extended stay, this property promises to leave you refreshed, inspired, and ready to return again.
