A cozy lakehouse

A bit hard to find at first. Don't trust Google maps. It sends you to the wrong house. The house is charming and well equipped. After contacting very responsive owner, we figured out how to get the heat on. The home has kayaks, life jackets, and a fabulous lakeside access and view. The unfinished path from parking area to entrance (esp. in rain), plus the steep and narrow stairs to 2nd story, are challenging for tall people or less sure-footed older folks. Bathroom is cozy with compact toilet and shower. I'd happily return, but not with my 85-year-old father.

beautiful spot

We loved our short stay at this rustic camp. It was very well maintained, clean and had everything we needed for our stay. We enjoyed the firepit and kayaks while we there and it was the perfect home base for our stay during a local baseball tourney (Little Fenway was 6 minutes away!) Highly recommend!

Fond memories

I have special memories of East Pond, and was able to add more on this trip. The house is on top of the pond, with amazing panoramic views from the living room. Lounging in the living room while listening to the gentle clap of the water again the shore was soothing. The call of the loons at night is magical. Caught a large bass off the dock, and watched the sun set from the middle of the lake in the kayak. I’m already thinking of my next visit to East Pond.

Little vacation

It was a very cozy house, beautiful view of the lake, perfect spot for the kids to swim, and for the adults to sit by a fire. Was glad to find out the wood for the fire was provided, it was peaceful and quiet neighborhood hoping to return. 5 stars

Fine

The picture you show was the owners 1st property and we could not access the property with my elderly family. When I called the owner, he offered me a second option of another property. That is the property I rated. It was very kind of the owner to accomodate us. It was a lit more driving than we intended but the accommodstions were much better for us.

Absolutely perfect

This was a weekend getaway for us and our dog. We absolutely loved it. The location is perfect. The house was the perfect setup and size for us. The lake frontage was amazing and the lake was perfectly clear and the water was a great temperature. The deck had a gate which was perfect for our dog but would work so well for keeping little ones in sight. We are already planning on coming back next summer for a longer stay!

We spent three very enjoyable nights at this cabin right on the water. It was very well equipped and we were out on the lake every day with the canoe and kayaks. Heard loons every night and enjoyed the peaceful lake views. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful place

My husband, my daughter, family doggie, and I had a great time. The lake is beautiful with clean warm water. Gorgeous view from the leaving room and deck. Enjoyed front seats for the fireworks on the 4th! Would be nice to have a more stable table on the deck (the folding one is very flimsy). My family loved kayaking but only one kayak was in a good shape. Suggest switching places for toilet and washing machine. This will eliminate complains about toilet. Overall we enjoyed our stay and lobster rolls aplenty!

Stay at Cabin on East Pond

The property was located on the East Pond with beautiful views of the lake. It was a spectacular week with the autumn leaves at peak. The cabin was a bit rustic. We weren't expecting the bathroom facilities to be so small and a bit of an inconvenience getting in and out of and the mattress was very old and uncomfortable. The host provided us with everything we needed for our stay.
