About this property
The Cabbage on Olive Street, overlooking Hayden Brook
The Cabbage has a special place in the hearts of generations of Lakewood folk, as you can see by the many signatures of past/present actors & techies upon the walls!
Sitting up in the woods on the hilly side of Olive Street, overlooking the brook, this cabin/cottage is a rustic & simple dwelling, consisting of a well sized main room with dining table and futon, a small kitchen, a bathroom with shower, and accessable by ladder, a fun sleeping loft with a full sized mattress/boxspring on one side and a full+ sized sleeping mat on the other.
The space behind the Cabbage has a propane grill, a small fire pit, and lawn chairs overlooking the brook and an eagle nest! Beyond the beautiful large pine tree in the front of the building is a larger fire pit where occasional Lakewood community bonfires take place. The community Olive Street bridge over Hayden Brook makes for a very short and pleasant walk to Lakewood Theater, Restaurant, and Lake Wesserunsett. Pets are allowed at the Cabbage with security deposit.

About the host
Hosted by Dawnella Sutton
Growing up in the late 1970's within walking distance from here, I was frequently entertained by enchanting stories about Lakewood Theater by my neighbor Libby, daughter of Herbert Swett. Such wonderful history! To me the place was magical. Years later I introduced my son to the theater's Young Performers Camp, and then since he hit the main stage in 2012 he's been at Lakewood every summer since! (except 2020) These grounds are home.
We began restoring camps & cottages on Olive Street in 2019 with the goal to make the spaces available to Lakewood Theater actors, techies, and those employed by the Lakewood Resturant as well. Now, as schedule may allow, we are happy to offer stays to others who are als looking to capture a bit of the past!

Why they chose this property
Olive Street, as it sits 'across the brook' from the theater, was considered in Lakewood's hey day, to be the wild side! One of the larger camps is actually the old dance hall/speakeasy where it is said that some actors often gathered during prohibition.
The buildings that are part of our little On Olive Street collection were built in the late 1800s to early 1900s. Though some renovations have been done and modern conveniences added, they are all simple dwellings and hold a certain charm along with their history.
This area has more than Lakewood Theater & Restaurant to enjoy nearby, with Hayden Brook flowing past all but one of our rentable cabins - and for that one and others it doesn't, it is just steps away! Access to Wesserunset Lake is also a short stroll across the foot bridge, and the Golf Course is simply a slightly further walk!

What makes this property unique
History, a throw back to a simpiler time,and a very family friendly neighborhood! Olive Street is a private and small loop of mostly seasonal cottages and flower gardens, and the sound of the brook trickling by.
