Rustic lakefront home ideally located for exploring historic New England. The house is at the end of a private road on a 1 acre wooded lot. The house is on a wooded peninsula and surrounded by water on three sides. Most rooms include water views. There is a sandy beach that includes a dock. The gradual slope of the beach is ideal for young children. The house sleeps 8 in bedrooms and has a queen sofa bed in the living room. There is easy access to Boston via car or public transportation. The house features a spacious great room with gas fireplace, large dining room and a fully equipped gourmet kitchen.
Summer and Fall are excellent times of year to enjoy swimming in the lake or relaxing and enjoying the reflection of the fall foliage in the pond. In winter there is easy access to trails for cross country skiing. Downhill skiing & snowboarding is available at Wachusett Mountain Ski Area which is a scenic 30-minute drive. New England Sport Center is a short drive down 290. The house is also convenient to the many colleges and medical facilities in the Worcester area.
Please note this is a multi-level house. There is a flight of stairs to get to the main level and a small number of steps between areas within the house. If you have mobility issues this would not be a good fit for you.

Beautiful house and grounds! Very private with lots of room along with homey touches. Kids loved the toy cabinet and the pool table. Easy access to Boston. We thoroughly enjoyed our Easter weekend there!
Stayed 10 days while we were having some work done on our home. This place was great very spacious and private on a great piece of land on the water. Would be even better in the summer.
We had a wonderful Christmas at this beautiful house. Dusting of snow and beautiful views made it the perfect place to celebrate the Holidays. The house was well appointed and beds were comfy. Host answered questions quickly. We would definitely stay here again.
Very spacious home, comfortable, very off the beaten path but quick drive to where we needed to go. Host responded quickly to all our requests/questions. The views are peaceful and beautiful. A perfect overnight get away.
Quiet location very private end of the road on a peninsula with a lake on three sides. Would probably be a great summer destination.Carpeting is outdated as is the bed linens. We had the rewash a couple of our bed linens because there was hair in the bed. Old stained pillows. One set was a bit worn, and I had to borrow a queen size set for my daughter who lives locally.Towels are new, but undersized definitely not plush. Hand towels were included, but there were no bath wash towels so we used kitchen wash towels for the showers.If it seems I’m being critical that’s because this could be a five star property instead of the three that I would give it. Update the carpeting, bed linens, and bath linens. The location is great for a quiet family getaway. Half hour or less to Wachusett’s ski run;-)
A group of friends and I spent 3 nights and had an amazing time! The photos dont do the property justice. The house is big and the pond is beautiful. We cant wait to go back!
Great location. Nice house. Some small suggestions.
Overall, this was a beautiful location. Quiet and secluded get close to Worcester. Nice layout.
Only suggestions regardongwhat we would have liked different is to have soap and shampoo available. Also, the sheets seem very old.
But we would not hesitate to stay here again.
This property is amazing and the host is awesome! The house is so clean. The grounds outside are spread out amongst 2 fire pits and a beach area with a dock. It is very private. Any questions we had for the host, she answered right away and took care of. I would highly recommend this property. We hope to go back next year.
We adored our stay and would definitely like to return! Very private, with water views on three sides! Everything was well appointed. We couldn't have wanted for more. Many thanks for having us in your wonderful home.

About the host
Hosted by Debra DeWald
John & I live in southern California. We both grew up in the Midwest and love the change of seasons. We like the opportunity to travel back to New England and enjoy the fall foliage and snow that we don’t get to see much of where we currently live. We are both avid travelers and utilize VRBO both in the US as well as Europe.
