Our 3rd time staying here and hopefully not our last. Love the privacy and quiet solitude this property affords. Especially appreciated and took advantage of the additional soft chair options inside the cottage as well as the watercflotstion options this year.
Judyâs cottage is the most wonderful place to relax. The summer is not complete without a trip to Newbury. We are yearly visitors and enjoy the peace and tranquility of the cottage and the lake.
Our second time staying here. Just enough away from it all but close enough to everything should we want it. Wish the weather had been better this time (rain) but still plenty of fun and good times.
This is our second stay and we could not be more satisfied! The house, beach, host, and location are all amazing and we had the best family vacation. The sandy beach and quiet lake are perfect for young kids and families, and we love dinners at Appleseeds. Thank you for another amazing vacation and we can't wait to come back!
This was the perfect spot for our family to get away. The lake was shallow and the beach was perfect for the kids to play. Cottage has everything we needed and Judy was great throughout the entire process. We can't wait to go back!
We could not have been happier with this rental and weâve been doing our girls weekends for 8 years at different properties. Everything you need and nothing you donât. Very sweetly decorated with every thought for the guestsâ comfort. We gave it an A+.
Beautiful cabin with a sunroom overlooking the private beach that comes with the property. Within walking distance of the Appleseed restaurant. And a very (very) short drive for your morning Dunkin coffee run. The fire pit on the beach or the charcoal grill in the backyard make for a great escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Lake access for swimming or fishing.
Very clean comfortable home with a great little sandy private beach. The owner was super pleasant. She stopped by to make sure we had everything we needed. There was access to tubes and floats to use in the lake. Definitely hoping to stay here again. An added bonusâŠtwice we saw a bald eagle fly by!!! Thanks for letting us stay at your home Judy! I hope we can stay longer next timeđ
Such a wonderful vacation. The lake is quiet and clean and beautiful. The house is immaculate. The views are perfect. Canoeing, kayaking, fishing, tubing and campfires . Couldnât have had a better vacation and will most definitely be back next year!! Thank you Judy!
My family has been staying in Judyâs cottage for the last seven years or so and everytime we visit it gets better--be it new rugs, or furniture. I am grateful for Judyâs attention to detail, and responsiveness. This is the place to relax, fish, read, swim and enjoy the view of the lake. The birdwatching is terrific in June.
Lovely and well maintained cottage. Very peaceful. Stayed here 8 years ago. While I did not use the smart TV, the WiFi was a welcome addition. Clean. Beautiful lake. Only disappointment was that there was no water vessel for use. Kayaks and canoes can be rented nearby, but reservations in advance for this are recommended especially if you are staying over a holiday.
The cabin was very pleasant with a nice view of the lake from the windows on the porch. The kitchen was fully supplied with whatever one might need. The property was easily located and was very quiet. Somewhat disappointed in the swimming at the lake. Near the shore there were small stones but further out there were larger boulders that were not visable. Difficult to walk out to swim.
The cottage was a perfect place to sit and relax with family. We had the best unplugged stay. The beach was perfect with crystal clear water. Next year I hope to bring my grandaughter. I personally love to cook on vacation or off. I wish there were more pans to cook with. Otherwise, it was perfect there was nothing better than making breakfast and looking out the porch windows. Seeing the most beautiful picture of the lake and the mountain. Thank you, for allowing my family stay at your cottage.
This little cottage is lovely. It is Immaculate, clean and has incredible charm. It has everything you need and more, from beach toys, a canoe, and lovely kitchen amenities. The interior decoration has been well designed and is just adorable. I went with my 2 adult daughters and grandson. We all declared its a keeper and we plan to make it a tradition to return every year. One suggestion, offer more overstuffed soft places to sit and relax. There are many wooden chairs, that are attractive, but for some of us, an overstuffed sectional sofa would have been perfection.
We had a wonderful visit at the cottage. We loved hearing the loons at night and seeing them swim during the day. Water shoes were helpful for the stone bottom swimming area. Swimming was fantastic with lots of floats to use in the shed. The clothesline out back was nice for drying out towels and swimsuits after swimming. Check in was extremely easy as Judy has excellent communication. Just bring pillow cases, sheets and towels as bedspreads and pillows are provided. The window fans helped keep the cottage cool. My daughter really liked making a fire and smores at night. Thanks so much for sharing your cottage with us!
Perfect stay with private beach, great view & Outstanding Host
Lovely cottage with all accommodations & amenities you could think of. Lake/Beach is literally across the street and private. Perfect host, perfect little cottage..so comfortable and as pictured on the listing. All you need are sheets, your own towel and bug spray to use when it's hot. Fire pit, beach chairs by the lake, toys in the shed, various games were provided and a great tough. The host literally provided everything you would need at home, no exaggeration. Really thoughtful host who made sure every need is accommodated for everyone. We all felt at home! Bathroom/shower are tiny as mentioned in other reviews but appropriate for a cottage. This was a relaxing getaway with a good & safe location, great views and perfect for a small family. I would definitely recommend.
This was our 2nd time staying here and again we thoroughly enjoyed the well appointed cottage, private beach, firepit, charcoal grill and mostly the serenity and peacefulness. No baby loon this year, but we did see and hear the adults. We did notice several larger motorboats on the water this time that did deter from the peacefulness and kayaking experience slightly, but for the most part the lake is very calm and quiet. The sunsets can be quite amazing to see. Although the weather this time was a mixed bag, we did a bit more exploring and enjoyed a nice meal at Bubba's and ice cream while listening to a free music concert at Newbury Harbor one night and also went to nearby Rollins State Park to access Mt Kearsage before checking out Warner for an ice cream spot. Judy is a very responsive and accommodating host. We hope to return again hopefully next year .
The cottage is perfect for a couple's getaway or a small family (3-4). It provides a great location across the road to sit at the water. We had a rainy stay so only got a few minutes there but the front porch was perfect to sit on with coffee and listen to the loons, enjoying the tranquility. We would stay again!!
