Beautiful home overlooking a serene lake

The house was impeccably clean and beautifully furnished. The views of the lake were spectacular. It was so quiet and peaceful. The deck was amazing and we enjoyed most meals outside on the deck.

Wonderful lake house

We had a delightful week at this clean and comfortable home with everything you need for. Summer holiday- a lovely lake for swimming, a kayak and canoe for boating, a deck for grilling and dining and beautiful parks in the area for hiking. We can’t wait to return.

Amazing little place!

Our stay at this little place was just what we needed! The description and photos are exactly accurate and the setting quite spectacular. We loved every minute of our stay and will definitely be back next summer. It was so relaxing, with very little notice of surrounding neighbors b/c of the wooded surrounding, but close enough to a few New England towns to feel connected to civilization. The lake is also quite beautiful and very quiet. We kayaked, swam and did yoga on the dock each day! Loved it!

Overall was a great stay. Wonderful location and very private. Loved the lake and the deck. The kitchen was well stocked and the views of the lake are beautiful. I would suggest a microwave (there was none) and some pot holders. I was also surprised that we had to haul our own garbage at the end, but perhaps this is rural living. Hosts were great and very responsive. Great lake access and very much enjoyed the kayaks.

peaceful

If you are looking for peace, quiet and serenity this is just the place. The home was emasculate and the owner was wonderful. She gave us very detailed information about our stay and checked in with us to see if everything was ok or if we needed anything. This was a very relaxing and enjoyable week. I highly recommend

My friend and I stayed here while visiting family in the area. The area is absolutely beautiful and we didn't want to leave. The cottage is a perfect size and we enjoyed cooking dinner there a few nights. The deck is the perfect spot to unwind. I loved just sitting there and soaking up the views and sounds of nature. The pond is the perfect size to kayak and it was so nice not to have to worry about speedboats ruining the peace. I will absolutely stay in this home again when I visit! When I access the pictures on my Canon, I'll forward them to you if you'd like.

Peaceful getaway

From booking through check-out our experience here was perfect. The owner was very attentive to any questions we had before, during and after our stay. The house was spotless when we arrived and furnished with state of the art appliances, a spa-like shower and comfortable beds. The property itself was exactly what we were looking for: private and tranquil with plenty of outdoor furnishings for dining, lounging (the hammock was a true highlight!) and fishing. We have stayed in many lake houses over the years and this is one we definitely plan to return to. Highly recommended!!

Peaceful Retreat

The joys of this place are all about the views from the wall of windows and outdoor deck. The clean lines of the interior do nothing to distract, and the owners have supplied most anything you’d need. The “long pond” is beautiful, quiet, and perfect for kayaking. Check out the hiking trails at nearby White Memorial Conservation Center and the fresh produce at March Farm. All in all, a great place for a weekend or a longer getaway.

A modern cottage with a stunning lake panorama

The most striking feature of this thoughtfully-designed modern cottage is the abundance of large windows wrapping around the entire house always giving you a gorgeous panoramic view of the beautiful lake and wooded surroundings. We loved waking up in the morning to be met by light pouring inside from the rising sun across the lake. The home itself is stylish and comfortable at the same time, and we enjoyed cooking in the large kitchen with its sleek cabinets and spacious countertops. To top it all off, the personal dock out back was our daily jumping-off point onto Lake Meadow Pond in the kayak and canoe that come along with the house. This home was a gem, on an equally priceless lake, that provided us with much beauty, comfort, and rest.

Wonderful winter getaway

We had the nicest time at this charming, modern cottage on the lake. The home was well appointed, newly renovated and very comfortable for two couples. The deck overlooking the lake was the perfect place to enjoy the afternoon! We hope to come back soon and enjoy this beautiful location in the warmer months.

Can't wait to return.. again!!

I grew up in the area and was looking for a quiet place for my boyfriend and I to stay this summer while we safely saw family and enjoyed the summer in CT. I'm always hesitant booking places sight unseen, because you really never know what you are getting until you arrive. I'm so glad we decided to book this house because we could not have loved our stay more! So much so that we have already been back to enjoy the fall foliage, and have no doubt we'll be back for a third time in the future. Jackie is very thoughtful and responsive host, leaving detailed check-in and house information with everything you could possibly need. The inside of the house is modern and spotless-- Not in a way that feels cold and sterile, the space is inviting and zen. With windows on all sides of the open floor plan, you are enveloped in nature and have a beautiful view overlooking long meadow pond. The kitchen is well equipped if you like to cook and there is laundry should you need it. Great location, 5 minutes from March Farm, 5 minutes from Oliva Cafe (delicious) and 15 minutes from Bantam Market for all of your essentials.

Repeat visit - we love this place!

We spent five days here in August, and every aspect of this retreat is delightful. The house is immaculate, with a well-equipped modern kitchen, comfortable beds and lovely bedding. The sizable deck is wonderful, with a great grill, picnic table, and lounge chairs overlooking the lake. The overall design and decor is unusually tasteful and modern, without sacrificing comfort. As swimmers and kayakers, we delighted in Long Meadow Pond (which is more like a long lake). The water is fresh and didn't have the algae blooms that have frustrated us elsewhere. There is easy access to the water on the private dock--if, that is, you can make it past the tempting hammock! Power boats are not permitted, so the entire landscape is blissfully quiet, other than the contributions of songbirds and crickets. We spent most of our time at the house and in the water, but be sure not to miss the farm stand down the road and their excellent fresh vegetables and fruit pies! The road offers lovely woodland walks, as well as a fascinating Colonial-era cemetery. Jackie was ever attentive, available, and helpful for questions large and small. We're already planning our return visit!

An amazing property, totally modern and convenient in a solitary setting

We loved our stay on Long Meadow Pond; we loved the shaded deck above the lake and the gentle breezes and perfect quiet. No boats, no parties, just solitude for reading, conversations, writing or thinking. I can imagine this place as perfect for any New England season, with drives, walks and hikes only moments away.
