This cottage reminds me of the place my family went to in the 1950s for our summer vacations. It has all of the charm and nostalgic comfort one could ask for in a summer get-away that I remember from my childhood with one major difference being that it has indoor plumbing with hot water. We enjoyed our stay on the lake, the quiet mornings, the area attractions, and the comforting surroundings the cottage provided.

Charming, rustic older cottage with a spectacular location. There is a very steep hill you must climb to this island hideaway which is totally worth it when you see the view. The outdoor entertainment areas are many and the house is well-equipped with everything you need. The dock, kayaks and other water toys make this property a good value but the view, combined with a private, wooded environment, is the real value!

Beautiful location!!!! you’re welcome

Once you climbed the hill, this place is exactly like the pictures! Beautiful, quiet, peaceful… serene, you couldn’t ask for more. Well perhaps AC during a 90heatwave but they had a lot of fans to keep the air moving. Outdoors was gorgeous, the breeze lovely. Like I said, I couldn’t ask for more. Spent time floating on the lake which was beautiful as well.

Really sweet little cabin by the lake - we loved access to kayaks and dock, the sunset, and being tucked away on an island. Very quaint and cozy.

Fishing weekend on the lake.

A couple friend enjoyed a nice long weekend on the lake. The location was perfect. We were able to keep our kayaks right on the dock. It was nice to hang outside on the deck, enjoy the tiki bar or sit by a nice fire. We would definitely go back.

Although we live only 25 minutes away, we had never been to this lake. Definitely off the grid as written and we found the cottage charming as a 1922 cottage could be. We were surprised at the noise from a local event center on Sunday evening, but they got quiet after 10pm. Boaters were active until 11pm on the weekends which also surprised us. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday mornings were nice and peaceful. You must be able bodied to access the lake from this cabin. The common beaches had already closed for the season and the cabin only had a dock with ladder. Water shoes a must. Great location.

Graduation

5 person family. Mother , father , daughter and 2 sons all kids in their 20’s. Our middle son graduated this weekend so we cooked , ate , took the boats out and hung out on the deck and played board games. Pure heaven. An escape from reality. The cottage is beautiful. A trip back in time.

Lake house

Very scenic lake view. The grounds need to be cleaned up. There is broken chairs ect. that need to be thrown out. The windows need new screens as I taped the storm door. A little tlc this place would be exceptional.

About the host

Hosted by Brenda Parker-LeDuc

Host profile image
LOVE this cozy little cottage nestled in the pines tucked away from the madness of the world. You feel like you are in a tree house and unplugged from the chaos. I absolutely love to share this little piece of heaven for others to enjoy peaceful times here with friends, family or just be alone in the stillness by the water. It is truly a very special little place completely frozen in time. Step back into a simple way of relaxing.

Why they chose this property

Complete serenity here. Very quiet little lakefront hide away. Totally private and no one can see you when you are out on deck which is very nice. Sit out in the sun on the dock, bring a boat or just star gaze by the camp fire at night. Decompress, unwind and unplug in a very simple, rustic, authentic, funky little piece of history. Close to grocery store, restaurants, gas, banks.

What makes this property unique

This is the "Last Little Cottage" and has had stories written about it. It is the only remaining authentic 1930's knotty pine cabin that has survived time and progress. Southwick, MA was a tourist destination in 1920's and hosted the ice house industry in winter. Summers bustled with an amusement park, dance hall, hotels. Visitors would come by train from NYC & CT to spend weeks at the lake. These cottages were peppered around lake for weekly rentals. One by one they were discarded, torn down and new bold ones took their place. Only one remains....... This funky little place, The Last Little Cottage. Step back in a time warp and experience life as it was in yesteryear. Simple, rustic, peaceful and frozen in time.
