This property is right on the pond. It is cozy, clean, beautiful, and peaceful. Kitchen is fully stocked. The living room has two sofas that are very comfortable and so are the beds! We had a wonderful time!

We love this little place

This is our second time coming to the cottage and we are going to try to book it for the fall. Also, we love the quiet and the pond. Everything about this little cottage is amazing if I had the money I would try so hard to buy this property.

Beautiful location

My husband and I stayed for a fall weekend. The cottage was clean and well appointed. The location on Swan Pond was beautiful -- sunrises over the pond were spectacular and could be viewed from the deck or anywhere in the house as well!. The dirt road approach was not as bad as some reported if taken slow. We had no problem with it. Very peaceful and relaxing. Thanks!

We really enjoyed staying at Peggy’s pretty hideaway on Swan Pond. Loved being right on the water - great view and it was easy to get our kayaks in and out for a paddle. House was very clean and comfortable. Highly recommend!

A beautiful vacation property

This fabulous property was perfect for our 5-night getaway! The house was immaculate and included towels & linens, air conditioning, 2 kayaks & a canoe for exploring Swan Pond, in addition to beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers & life jackets. I was happy to be able to bring my dog and she loved hanging out with us on the patio while enjoying the water views and nature all around. This was my idea of a perfect vacation home - it was well equipped, had comfortable furniture and the owners responded quickly to any questions I had. I look forward to another vacation in this well-kept home on Swan Pond!

Birder’s delight!

We came up in October for a long weekend. The house is just as pictured, and Peggy was a gracious host. The highlight for me was waking up to both a beautiful view of the lake and an amazing array of birds. The sunrises over Swan Pond are spectacular. Our 11-year-old daughter loved the hammock. Just a cautionary note- watch out for ticks! It’s in the woods. All in all a great vacation.

Beautiful home with amazing views

We stayed here with our dog and absolutely loved it! The house is beautiful and very cozy with lovely views of the pond. The location is fantastic and nothing was better than reading a book on the hammock and watching the sunrise. I would definitely recommend this home to anyone, especially if you have a dog and look forward to staying here again!

Peaceful

Second time staying at this wonderful home. We enjoyed mornings on the deck over looking the lake, days kayaking down the river to the ocean and peaceful nights under the blanket of stars. The house is packed full of windows, so even on our one rain day we were able to enjoy the panoramic views of the lake and nature. Thanks for allowing us to enjoy your little slice of heaven for a few days! I am sure we will be back again!!

cottage on the pond

The house is very well taken care of and very clean. Close to beaches and very quiet. I think the trees should be trimmed so you can get a complete view of the pond.

Weekend getaway

This was a great weekend for my husband and me. We wanted to relax and just spend some down time together and this was the perfect place. The house was clean right on the water beautiful views. The working fireplace for the cold nights adds that extra touch it was a very peaceful weekend. I would defiantly come back again.

Wonderful Spot

Wonderful central location. Photos of the rental are very accurate. Nice airy, open floorplan with lots of windows and lots of light! And right on the water. Very cozy and comfortable space. It rained a lot while we were there so it was nice to have lots of natural light as we snuggled up to the fire place to read books or watch a movie. We hope to return!

Swan Pond Getaway

Swan Pond views are exceptional. Road into the property in poor shape. Glad our vehicle had good ground clearance. Would be nice to have instruction for the TV system and washer/dryer. Needs a conventional Mr Coffee like coffee maker. Grind and brew no help. Nice outdoor amenities and seating for younger folks.

Wonderful

Our stay was everything that we were expecting and more! Definitely gave the Cape Cod feels we were hoping for, and memories we will carry with us. The little beach was great for our daughter; she woke up every morning and went right out there to explore. Kayaking to the little island was one of our favorite things about the property; as well as the location and beautiful sunshine that illuminated the cottage each morning. Will definitely be returning 🙂

Very cute cottage

We had a lovely time at Swan Pond Cottage. Everything was as described, cottage was clean and well provisioned with essentials. Per other reviews, we decided to take our larger vehicle with more clearance due to the road in. It is rough and I’m not sure if our sedan would have had enough clearance. This is the road itself and not the driveway, so not the responsibility of the owners.

Clean, peaceful, convenient

The cleaners did a very good job. The lake is beautiful and the house is very comfortable and pretty. There are good restaurants nearby, too. Only small negatives - lockbox would not open; road is very rough at the end, and closet door is stuck closed on one side. Otherwise, we loved it.

Perfect Getaway

We were fortunate enough to find a couple open dates October 2020 to stay at this lovely home. Despite the torrential rain and wind we still had a wonderful time; watching the storm over the lake was quite peaceful. The home is immaculate! We very much appreciate the fact dogs are welcome! Peggy, Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!
