Pleasant area right in the lake. We were happy to be able to bring our two dogs. Comfortable beds, living room, sofas, etc. fully stocked kitchen. Washer & dryer. The view from the cabin was beautiful. The fully screened in porch was a bonus. We recommend this rental.

Nice place to get away and get some rest. The bay got limited boat traffic which was nice. Being at the end of the bay sounds of other camps would echo a bit...but only occasionally.

Our stay at Beth’s place was perfect. The cottage has everything you could possibly need. We really enjoyed sunsets on the dock over the lake! It’s a peaceful and quiet place, perfect for relaxing. When it was chilly we were still able to enjoy the lake from the windows in the living room overlooking the lake. Beth was very kind and brought us some squash from her garden which we enjoyed very much. We love to visit again!

Fantastic property, from the minute you pull into the driveway. Excellent layout, loved the sun porch. The most well equipped kitchen that we've ever stayed in. Everything is labeled making it so easy to find things. The lake is gorgeous. Even though we didn't get out on it, you can still enjoy the tranquility right from the cabin. There's nothing like having morning coffee on the lounge chair in the yard with that view. Host was incredible to work with and answered any questions immediately. We will most definitely be back!

Very relaxing

Beautiful spot in the cove where there are no fast boats or jet skis. Nice quiet spot to relax and read a book or float in the lake. The area is also quiet, we found a couple areas to run and hike. Honestly, we did a lot of relaxing. The house is very clean and matched the description. The host lives next door, we saw her twice, she was very easy to deal with and respectful. Highly recommend!

What a cute cottage! We wanted direct water access for a simple and relaxing getaway, and this camp fit the bill. It had everything we needed for an enjoyable few days, even when the June weather was surprisingly chilly and damp. The location at the tip of a cove was quiet and peaceful.We especially appreciated the screened room, as the mosquitoes were ravenous. The stock of jigsaw puzzles kept us busy when it was too windy or rainy to be out on the lake. The cottage reminded me of the family lakeside camp of my youth, passed down through a couple of generations, but much better maintained and furnished.
Our dog found a sunbeam on the screened porch.
On a calm morning, the lake was lovely.

About the host

Hosted by Beth Freeland

Host profile image

Our family has been on Crescent Lake since 1982. My parents built a house then, about 13 years later my husband and I built a house and when the next door cottage became available in 2008, we couldn't resist......

Why they chose this property

We think this might be one of the best properties on the lake. Located in the cove it's quiet since it's a no wake zone of the lake.
But you get fantastic westerly views and beautiful sunsets.
It's just really beautiful and peaceful.

What makes this property unique

Just 2 hours from Boston it's a pretty easy drive. Close to ski mountains in winter and lots of fun activities on the lake in the summer. Screen in porch is a nice place to read and enjoy the view.
