This is such a memorable, unique, and relaxing place to stay. We visited for our 15th anniversary and wished we could have stayed for several more days-- it felt like a true escape. The comfortable adirondack chairs overlooking the lake, the lovely grounds, and the beautiful pool space were our favorite parts. My husband found a quiet outcropping with a flat rock he could fish from, a few minutes walk from the cottage. I enjoyed running both days on the road along the lake (minimal traffic, shaded, quiet), and found the bike path a mile away on rte. 6 to also be a nice place to run. We were there with our dog, and he loved sunning himself on the lawn while we all relaxed, read, and enjoyed the lake view. The outdoor fire place and grill set-up were lovely, and if we had more time we would have liked to use it. Orestes was very kind and friendly, and even left us some tomatoes from the garden.We loved the cute, "small cottage" feel of the place, even if we had to get creative to figure out where to store our suitcases, etc. :) The TV set up was great at the end of a long day.The location of this cottage was great-- only 10-15 minutes from excellent restaurants such as Purdy's Farm and Fish.One suggestion for future guests: note that the fridge is small, so pack accordingly or maybe bring an additional cooler if you plan to bring a lot of perishable foods. We managed fine by packing light (food-wise) and buying a small bottle of milk rather than full size.
