Family friendly cottage, covered deck, close to lake to fish, swim, and boat

Enjoy our recently remodeled family friendly cottage with two bedrooms that each have a queen bed and 2 sets of single bunk beds. The cottage is heated and cooled with 3 different mini splits, which are located upstairs and downstairs. Our cottage features an open living/dining room and kitchen area. The large covered deck with a ceiling fan allows you plenty of space to sit outside and enjoy the scenic views of our 60 acre property of woods and farmland.

Set back off the road a bit, you will drive back our stone driveway up to the cottage. You can enter in downstairs or walk through the grass just a bit to enter in upstairs. There is one bedroom upstairs and one downstairs which allows for families to have their own space and quiet at bedtime. NO bedding or pillows are provided, you must bring your own. There are ceiling fans in each bedroom and in the living area as well. The kitchen, main living room and dining room are located upstairs. We have Wi-Fi and a smart TV so you can enjoy some relaxation on our sectional to watch a movie.

The kitchen is stocked with all of your main essentials. From pans to measuring cups, to a coffee maker and crockpot. We have lots of everyday items for you to use during your stay.

The upstairs bathroom has a tub/shower, toilet and vanity. The downstairs bathroom has a shower, toilet and vanity. Toilet paper is provided but NO bath towels are provided, you must bring your own.

We are just a few miles away from Dorchester Lake where you can enjoy swimming, boating and fishing from Memorial Day through Labor Day. The life-guarded swimming area is open daily through the summer with hours listed on their website. They have kayak, paddle boat and canoe rentals during the season as well. Your kid’s can have fun on the playgrounds, plan to pack a picnic and enjoy a family walk on their paved walking path.

If you book your stay between mid July through the beginning of August you can visit Frosty Mountain Blueberry Patch which is just a mile up the road to pick the most delicious blueberries!

During the winter months you can visit Greek Peak Mountain Resort which is just a half an hour away. Take the family to ski, snowboard or go snow tubing!

If you enjoy wine, there are several wineries within 30-45 minutes from our Cottage.

With the small local town being just a few minutes away, you’re able to grab groceries, some pizza, a fancy dinner or enjoy some ice cream. There is a town library and some cute shops right in town as well.

We have an outdoor fire ring that you can make a fire in the evening to enjoy some hotdogs or roasted marshmallows with your family. We also have a wood picnic table for your use as well.

Bull Creek runs through our property and deer and Turkey sometimes comes out to eat in the fields. There are a lot of birds around, so sitting outside you can enjoy the sounds of nature. **Our Cottage is protected by Blink video surveillance, located outside by both entry doors, as well as in view of the driveway.

Peaceful, beautiful house with a view
We rented this house because our daughter was getting married and it was so close to The Owl Barn. Hostess was more than accommodating letting us have all the bridesmaids and bride get ready there. Thank you for being so helpful on this beautiful day!

A Relaxing Weekend Getaway
We enjoyed our weekend getaway! The cottage appears to be new. It was very clean and the kitchen well stocked. I was really looking forward to cooking hotdogs over the fire and toasting marshmallows for s’mores. I was not disappointed! Sitting by the fire at night was so relaxing. I would definitely recommend the cottage to my friends and come back to stay again if we’re in the area.

A Family Retreat for a Family Reunion
We came up to New York from Pittsburgh for a family reunion. This is where I grew up, and it is somewhat central for my extended family to gather. The problem is that I have a large family. Two of my kids are already married, and the other eight are still at home. So when there's something that we all need to do, like attend a family reunion out of town, it can be difficult to find a space where that is possible. I am happy to say that this cabin was more than big enough for all of us to be able to enjoy our time together. From eating together, to relaxing and playing games; from enjoying sunsets on the front porch, to toasting s'mores around the campfire; there was more than enough space for us to enjoy each other's company, when you were not otherwise occupied visiting family in the area for the big reunion that we had come for. Furthermore, Beth was extremely generous and accommodating. She was always available when needed and worked with me regarding the size of our group, given the nature of our trip. I sincerely look forward to my next time in the area, this home is going on my list for return visits.

Relaxing porch sitting
We enjoyed the nice covered porch, being able to enjoy the outdoors with a nice breeze and a couple views of deer in the fields. The outdoor picnic table by the fire ring was nice for grilling and making s’mores. Inside, the air conditioning was a nice retreat from the 90* heat during the day. We went swimming at Dorchester park but it was cut short due to thunderstorms in the area. I’m already looking forward to coming back again soon. Thanks for sharing this cottage with us.
