Wildlife Cottage by the Lake

Light and bright defines the newly renovated cabin boasting spectacular wood throughout and freshly decorated rooms. Radiant heated marble tiles offer cozy warmth during cooler moments as guests gather in the large 20 x 20' kitchen. There is a downstairs queen bedroom and full bath with a Jacuzzi tub. The second floor, accessed by a fairly steep staircase, has another queen room, and a third room with two twin beds; these share a conveniently located half bath. The house has a large screened in porch and various spots both inside and out to watch the prominent wildlife. Bird lovers will be allured by an incredible sanctuary where ducks, blue herons, geese, songbirds and even an occasional bald eagle an be spotted! Outdoor activities such as running/biking, fishing/boating are an easy walk away. The abutting lake does grow weeds seasonally, especially in the summer months, which will limit water activities. For conditions during your stay message Jill.

Relaxing lakeside getaway
We loved our stay at this cute, comfortable house -- drinking coffee on the deck and watching the birds, biking and dog walking on the nearby Ashuwillticook trail, relaxing on the screened porch in the afternoon. Very nice kitchen and bath, with everything you could need for a relaxing getaway!

Great Spot
This was a great spot, it felt like we were on our own private island! Cabin is on the small side, but has everything you need with spectacular lake views. My kids are in college in Mass and NY, so it was better to rent the house and meet there for Thanksgiving, we had a wonderful time. Antiquing and other activities in the area. Also great hiking, but a little too cold on our trip. We did miss having a dishwasher

Love the seclusion
We enjoyed relaxing, an easy walk to a great rail trail, visiting Balance Rock and great takeout food. Love that our pup is able to join us.

Great time
Very clean, comfortable and secluded without being isolated. A big portion of the backyard was literally underwater due to the unusual amount of rain. But the water was clean and the kids and the dog had a blast playing in it!

Summer 2023
The house was very comfortable for our family of four. Very peaceful location perfect for relaxing out on the deck. The kitchen could use additional glassware and a new coffee maker. Otherwise the house is well equipped.

Perfect Trip!
This lake house was exactly what we hoped for in an anniversary weekend trip. The wildlife, peacefulness, hot tub, and bonfire were all perfect. Jill was so quick to respond and seemed to really care about the quality of our time at her home. We’d love to come again!

Great spot for a few day stay!
We enjoyed our stay at the lake house. House was cute and location was great for what we were there for , less then 15 minutes from skiing. There’s a target less then two miles away and a good bar/ restaurant also two miles away. Good for a burger or a sandwich. Communication with the property owner was outstanding, she was quick to answer any questions we had and to let us know she was there if we needed anything ! We look forward to coming back again.
