Are you looking for a relaxing waterfront get away? This may be your place! This newly renovated cottage is located on a pristine 54 acre lake that just begs to be explored! Please enjoy our kayaks and canoe to embark on your own journey. There are no gas powered motors allowed on this lake which makes it a relaxing place for swimming, floating and boating! I hear the fishing is good too. The cottage is situated on a spacious double lot that provides plenty of room for activities and some added privacy. Inside you will find a lovingly renovated 2 bedroom cottage with approx 1200 square feet of living space. The layout is open and bright with fantastic views of the lake and some magnificent sunrises! The kitchen is fully stocked and should satisfy most of your needs. There are multiple sitting areas for chatting, relaxing, napping and a dining table for 6. The main bedroom is quite large and consists of a queen size bed and full size futon. The second bedroom has twin bunks. There is another futon in the front living room perfectly suited for those that don't want to miss the sunrise, which is often spectacular!
Perfect getaway, even better than promised! The grounds were in great condition, the lake was peaceful, the house was charming and well stocked. I came out with my mini poodle and he had a great time, and there were lots of little touches that made it especially dog friendly, like an extra lease, a water/food bowl setup, a doggy bed, and a doggy gate for the porch. The bed, pillows, and linens were very comfortable. Would def book again! Also, the host was very communicative and friendly!
Beautiful property. The everyone had so much fun in the lake. The host was so helpful and kind, she even let us have a small surprise wedding for our family there. Beds were comfortable and we loved the esthetic of the decor,we will be back again for sure!
Just as advertised, Very Quiet. Took our kayaks out daily was great with no power boats , beautiful, clean,well stocked our dog didn't want to leave. Wife and I enjoyed the Great Fishing. We are planning on going back.
This place has been a favorite! itâs very quiet there and the lake is beautiful and clear. The property manager is incredibly responsive. I loved the stay and the quick communication had us feel more welcome, thank you!
The house was perfect for our little family. My daughter loved swimming in the lake, morning coffee was sublime as I stared out over the water, the house had everything we needed and being able to bring our dog was great. Thank you!
The property is exactly as pictured, which isn't always the case. Decorated cutely, small but well organized to make the most use of the space. The beds all seemed comfortable, including the pull out ones - I only slept on one bed but heard no complaints from anyone else. Everything needed was provided. When we ran out of paper towels it took a bit of hunting but we found those there too. Great communication with the host. We ended up staying on a rainy weekend so we didn't use the lake, but had fun and used the covered patio section with chairs. Bug spray was also provided, they really have everything.
This wonderful cottage on a beautiful quiet lake was just what we needed. Our family came and we had a great Father's Day cookout. Our daughter came with her huband and son often since the cottage was close to home. We loved watching our 4 yr old grandson learn to fish. We will be returning. Thank you Noelle for sharing your place with us. Karen & Darren
Just a super cute place that had everything we needed!Host was very responsive.Only 20 minutes from UCONN - we were there for graduation and it worked out very nicely.
This was the perfect place to unwind for a few days. The house is quaint and cozy, super clean, and very dog friendly. There were fresh flowers in the kitchen and plenty of throw blankets for cooler nights. There was even a bed and bowls for the dogs! It is such a peaceful place and so comfortable inside and out. Noelle was easy to reach and very accommodating.I would definitely stay again.
We had the most wonderful experience this wkd! The cottage was very accurate to what we saw online & it was even better than weâd expected! It was stocked with everything we needed & we werenât wanting for anything. Everything was clean & smelled so good. Our host Noelle was great to communicate with. Very prompt with corresponding & she was so thoughtful, leaving us a sweet note & a bottle of wine! Thank you so much! We will definitely be back & plan to have this wonderful place be our annual gathering place for us girls in the future!
We stayed at this property for about a week to attend a dog competition. It was absolutely worth the price- wonderful location to some good eats, very clean and cozy, and communication with the host was top notch. It helped make a stressful time relaxing!
We stayed for 2 nights during a long weekend. Gorgeous home, very clean, and all amenities needed to enjoy our stay were there (life jackets, board games, kitchen items, dog items (bowls, tie out, poo bags)). Beautiful foliage to enjoy when going for a nice walk around the lake as well. Really happy we found this place!
This place is awesome! It's the best spot for people who need to recharge. It is a very memorable place for me since this is where I was able to watch the Northern Lights that I had been on a quest for for months!
I'm so grateful to Noelle for allowing me to create more beautiful memories by being so accommodating! â€ïž
I will definitely come back to the Lake House! đ
The cottage was perfect size with everything you needed.We used the kayaks and boat and did some fishing.Had a great long holiday weekend with the family and dogs.
This was a wonderful place for a weekend retreat with a few close friends. The cottage is beautiful, clean and spacious, with ample linens and kitchen amenities, a gorgeous view of the lake, and lots of welcoming outdoor space and peace and quiet. The host was very responsive and helpful when we needed her assistance with a water problem on the last night, and generously offered us a partial refund. We appreciated the beautiful place and the excellent service, and would definitely come back.
Waterfront with yard. Use of canoe and kayak. Fire pit available ( bring your own wood).DOG FRIENDLY.Plenty of sleeping areas with use of futons. Very open main area.
Very quiet lake.
My husband, 3 sons, dog, and I enjoyed our stay here.
The home was great, clean, and comfortable. We had plenty of room to spread out and, with the open floor plan for the living room, dining room, and kitchen, were able to spend time together even if we were busy doing other things. The kitchen was stocked with all the utensils, pans, and dishes we needed as well as a microwave and toaster. There was even a dog food and water bowl set available.
The lake was perfect and clean. We could see to the bottom in the shallow areas and it was sandy instead of sludgy near the shore/dock. I recommend aqua shoes because there are some rocks to beware of. My boys enjoyed kayaking, swimming, and fishing. I enjoyed swimming and floating with a tube.
Outside, we also enjoyed using the hammock and sitting around the fire pit and roasting marshmallows. My husband used the grill to cook lunch and dinner a few times.
Noelle was friendly and prompt in replying to our questions before the trip; however, we did not need to reach out to her during our stay thanks to the helpful binder of info there.
PSA: There are large speed humps in the area. We have a normal height Honda Odyssey, but would scrape the bottom on ONE of the humps no matter how slow we went or which of us was driving. If you have a low car, it might be a problem. Obviously, this has nothing to do with the stay itself or the property, but might be worth knowing.
Hello! My name is Noelle and I live in Sturbridge Ma with my husband Sam, our son Crosby and my father Michel (aka Pepe.) We fell in love with Ashford Ct over the past few years camping at Brialee, a local family campground. I have been dreaming of a lake house for years and when I saw this one, well... it spoke to me. The stars aligned and here we are! We named this magical place after my fathers late wife Mimi, who was truly magical and as loving as they come. She would have whole heartedly supported me in this endeavor! I feel her all around, and especially at sunrise. I am a local Realtor and Broker/Owner of Hometown National Realty. Sam is a singer, songwriter and the recording artist, Sam James. Crosby is 6 and fantastic. Professional kayaker and Minecraft maniac. Pepe, (Michel) is a retired college professor and full time Artist, Poet and writer. He is fantastic, kind and eccentric! We love him.
There is something really special about this property. It just brings me this overwhelming feeling of peace and happiness. The lake is generally very still and calm. The night sky is spectacular without the obstruction of city lights.
The local turtles may stop by for a visit and a snack... if you're sharing. The neighbor cat may stop by for a pat. Relax under the willow tree, have a cocktail on the deck. Enjoy coffee with the sunrise. It's all good here!
