About the host

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.
