My wife and decided to decompress from life in Manhattan with a two-week stay at this cottage by the lake. We had an absolute blast. The lake was steps away for kayaking, fishing, wildlife watching (our resident Muskrat "Muskie" swimming by with his head above water, Great Blue Heron, Eagles). Fishing was great, with some good size Smallmouth Bass, plus Perch and panfish. We loved the firepit (sunken pit for large fire if you like) and the picnic table and good size lawn around them. The interior is super cute decorated with a tastefully curated selection of lake house decorations. When not enjoying the cottage, we found it a great home base from which to explore nearby towns (Kent, Salisbury, Sharon, etc.), the Housatonic River, and many great hikes close by. The trailhead to a beautiful moderate hike in the Sharon Land Trust is under a five minute walk from the cottage. Just a fantatstic spot.
