Corkscrew Cottage—Year-around, lakeside home with pristine water and great views

From the moment you arrive at this two-bedroom one-and-a-half bath lakeside cottage, you’ll feel how special it is, as it sits on the south shore of lovely Moores Pond, facing a spectacular view of Mt. Grace. Welcome to Corkscrew Cottage!
Small private cottages line the thirty acres of clear water that afford swimming, fishing, boating, and kayaking. The signature spiral stairs connect the first floor full kitchen, living area, bedroom, and bath with the bedroom, loft, and half-bath.
Use Corkscrew's swimming area and dock, or make new friends at the public Town Beach 100 yds down the road. Use Corkscrew's rowboat and kayaks or launch your own boat at the public boat launch. Explore the large wetland on the north end on a summer evening, viewing the beaver lodges and carnivorous plants. Ice skate in winter or go ice fishing. The pond has a variety of fish including trout, bass, pickerel, perch, and pan fish, and is also home to colorful waterfowl, turtles, frogs, otters, beaver, deer, and the occasional moose. Hike the Old Stagecoach Road through the state forest to the quaint, historic Warwick Town Center. Bike the scenic Franklin County roads. After sundown, the frog symphony begins at the Pond and the wide-open night sky delights any stargazer.
Corkscrew is by no means isolated, but the pond and neighborhood are serene and quiet.
Follow the brick walkway from your own driveway to the cottage door. Step into a fully equipped, eat-in kitchen that is flooded with warm tones of sunshine streaming through the stained-glass Corkscrew window.
The knotty pine walls and open ceilings continue into the living area, where you will notice a cozy gas stove fireplace, a media center, and the signature spiral staircase* that gives our cottage its name. You are drawn into the attached enclosed porch sitting area, with its 180-degree view of the pond, where you can enjoy the ever-changing views of Mt. Grace. Take an afternoon nap on the couch. Read by the fireplace.
Cool off under the porch ceiling fan or by the A/C unit. Gather around the game table. A porch door leads out to the deck, dock, and boat.
The primary bedroom is off the living area. Two bedroom areas are up the spiral staircase, with three single beds and a half bath.
Outdoor eating and lounging decks are on both sides of Corkscrew Cottage, including a gas grill near the kitchen.
Fishing gear is provided in the basement, along with floaties. (Fishing for those over 15 requires a Massachusetts fishing license, available online).
*Caution: Spiral staircases can be tricky. Always walk on the outside, larger part of the tread, step slowly, and hold on to the rail. Please use caution if your family includes the elderly or very young. We provide a children's gate to block the top of the stairs and a fence to go around the bottom.
