About this property

Magical Waterfront Cottage! Pet friendly!

Are you looking for a relaxing waterfront get away? This may be your place! This newly renovated cottage is located on a pristine 54 acre lake that just begs to be explored! Please enjoy our kayaks and canoe to embark on your own journey. There are no gas powered motors allowed on this lake which makes it a relaxing place for swimming, floating and boating! I hear the fishing is good too. The cottage is situated on a spacious double lot that provides plenty of room for activities and some added privacy. Inside you will find a lovingly renovated 2 bedroom cottage with approx 1200 square feet of living space. The layout is open and bright with fantastic views of the lake and some magnificent sunrises! The kitchen is fully stocked and should satisfy most of your needs. There are multiple sitting areas for chatting, relaxing, napping and a dining table for 6. The main bedroom is quite large and consists of a queen size bed and full size futon. The second bedroom has twin bunks. There is another futon in the front living room perfectly suited for those that don't want to miss the sunrise, which is often spectacular!

About the host

Host profile image
Hello! My name is Noelle and I live in Sturbridge Ma with my husband Sam, our son Crosby and my father Michel (aka Pepe.) We fell in love with Ashford Ct over the past few years camping at Brialee, a local family campground. I have been dreaming of a lake house for years and when I saw this one, well... it spoke to me. The stars aligned and here we are! We named this magical place after my fathers late wife Mimi, who was truly magical and as loving as they come. She would have whole heartedly supported me in this endeavor!
I feel her all around, and especially at sunrise.
I am a local Realtor and Broker/Owner of Hometown National Realty.
Sam is a singer, songwriter and the recording artist, Sam James.
Crosby is 6 and fantastic. Professional kayaker and Minecraft maniac.
Pepe, (Michel) is a retired college professor and full time Artist, Poet and writer. He is fantastic, kind and eccentric! We love him.

Why they chose this property

There is something really special about this property. It just brings me this overwhelming feeling of peace and happiness. The lake is generally very still and calm. The night sky is spectacular without the obstruction of city lights.

What makes this property unique

The local turtles may stop by for a visit and a snack... if you're sharing. The neighbor cat may stop by for a pat. Relax under the willow tree, have a cocktail on the deck. Enjoy coffee with the sunrise. It's all good here!
