Get away at end of March

The house was very comfortable and had everything we needed. There was plenty of room for three adults and two little ones to spread out and have their own space. The views of the bay were wonderful. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you for sharing your cottage with us!

Amazing Lakefront in Fair Haven

This house was by far the most well stocked rental I have ever experienced. Everything you could need for a amazing time in Fair Haven is located here. Close to Colloca’s it was perfect for my close friends and family during our wedding weekend. George was extremely kind and hospitable throughout our stay, answering all of our questions and truly making us feel at home. Would highly recommend a stay here.

Relaxing with a fantastic view

Our experience was excellent. The view of the bay was awesome and the full moon over the bay on our last night was the cherry on top. The place was perfect for our family of five and was very clean. The darts in the basement were a hit with the kids (no one turned on the TV while we were there!). The grill worked well for several meals. The owner George was very responsive to questions. Highly recommend and will stay there again (if it's available).

family wedding weekend

all in all it was a great place to stay. My daughter got married at the winery walking distance away, so the location worked out perfect. in was nice to relax for a couple days after the wedding and just catch up with family. we were a little confused on the lighting, but no biggie. the only slight issue I had was the towels, I wish I would have known there weren't any wash clothes and not enough towels, I would have brought my own. other than that it was an enjoyable stay.

Picture Perfect

The property was as pictured and was very well equipped with linens, dishes, cookware, etc. The AC worked perfectly, there was both a gas grill and a charcoal grill and plenty of chairs to sit on outside on the deck or the dock overlooking the bay. Paper towels, trash bags, ziplock bags, spices, condiments, and a bottle of wine was there for our use and consumption. The spiral staircase is required to get to the upstairs bedroom and your car needs to be parked up a small incline from the house. These were minor inconveniences compared to the beauty and functionality of the house.

Great Choice

We opened the front door and went inside, finding a bottle of local wine on the table and a spare key. The air was cooled and it smelled clean. We knew then we picked the right house. Other helpful amenities include a Keurig coffeemaker with accompanying pods, a bathroom on every level, with two on the main floor. Originally we were planning to travel with my in-laws, and while we were there, I thought the steps going up and down from the parking dock to the house would have been a problem for them. They mostly graduated gently, but there were many. All in all, George was great in responding to any questions we had; the lake views were lovely from both the deck and the living room, and it was hard to leave. We have already booked a week for 2021.

Why they chose this property

My family and I have owned this, and another property in Fair Haven for many years. I love the views and atmosphere of the bay, along with the community.
