About the host

Hosted by Brenda Stinson

Host profile image
The Stinson family has lived in the area for over 150 years. The Stinson family farm is located in Tamworth just 20 minutes south of the cottages. The property was purchased in 2001 from Larry Denny who had purchased the property from the original owners. He had used as rental properties but was getting tired of the maintenance. When the Stinson's purchased for their family to use as a gathering place for the ever growing family. The Stinson's still enjoy the cottage throughout the summer but found that it was not getting used all summer so decided to rent out.

Why they chose this property

It is a beautiful cottage on a quiet lake that is one of my favorite places on earth. The air is clear the water is warm. You fall asleep to the sound of bullfrogs and crickets while watching the fireflies. It's a pretty special place that we enjoy immensely and think you will too.

What makes this property unique

The tire swing on the old oak, the adirondack chairs on the beach, the fire pit next to the water, the hammock under the cedar the warm water or the star gazing from the swimming platform the Stinson cottages will provide you with every aspect of the perfect summer getaway.
