We really enjoyed staying at the Kirk Lake front cottage which is a super convenient if coming from NYC. Moreover the indoor/outdoor spaces are set up in such a way that you can enjoy a work remote set up. We enjoyed kayaking, canoeing, the fire pit, the grill was in excellent condition, and puggle Dexter loved the fenced in yard. We plan on re-booking in the Spring/summer time :)
We went for quiet, short drive to destination and a water view. Got all that and beautiful foliage, places to hike, and a serene neighborhood
The cottage was fantastic! Right on Kirk Lake - I had friends and family for short visits - all enjoyed lakeside meals outside!! Even my cat who has never been away — fell in love with the house. I strongly recommend this as a perfect getaway!
We spent our lake front vacation with tropical storm Isaias. Our stay turned into a unique glamping experience. We lost power for a few days but after contacting the owners our stay became much more comfortable. They provided a generator which gave us enough power for everything we need. The location is beautiful. Looking forward to another great stay.
I had an incredible extended stay in this charming cottage. The Lake is beautiful and clean, and the perfect size to kayak around or just relax on a floatie! I look forward to staying again in the future, as a much needed escape from the city!
We stayed in the lake cottage for 2 weeks. We were concerned it would be too small for our family of four -- with two teenagers, two cats, and both parents working remotely during the week. However, it was perfect. The wifi was strong, reached all the way to the dock, and we didn't have a single issue with it -- and that's with 5 laptops, 4 iphones and 3 ipads hooked up to it. :-) Nothing like having a zoom work call with the lake as your background. Kayaks are in great shape, the lake was clean, and the fish were biting! Lucien even dug around in his garden to find me some worms. This was the ideal location to unplug from city life. Close enough that we could travel back to the city as was needed for work once or twice, but yet still felt completely remote. Local grocery store was quaint and had everything we needed. Plenty of take out options, too. We had a plumbing issue in our second week, but the owner was there the next day, snaking the toilet and fixing the issue. Stuff happens in life, and how you respond to it is everything. Lucian and Lillian earned an A+ in our book. They are delightful people and very easy to reach. The house felt like home after just a few days ... we miss it already and we will 100% book with them again.
We enjoyed our stay at the little cottage it was right on the lake and my husband caught a lot of bass. We enjoyed the fire pit . We felt like it was a safe area to be in , also close to restaurants and things to do
The pictures of the outside area do not give it justice. This house is loaded with everything you would need to have a fun week at the lake! House is equipped with 2 Kayaks, a canoe, two rafts, hooked fishing poles (all you need are some worms), BBQ, outside fire pic on the lake, and great outdoor seating right on the lake. With worms from the bait and tackle shop all you need led to do is drop your line in and the fish came running. We caught small mouth bass and sunnys. Fishing is always more fun when you catch fish! The lake is incredible and if you are looking for a nice spot to escape from NYC I do not think there is a better option! Overall great place to stay.
If your looking for a relaxing get away by a lake this is it.. has everything you need to enjoy the lake and the house. its private and quiet.
My family of four and our cavapoo enjoyed the most peaceful and relaxing week at this great cottage. Lucian went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. We loved every minute - we will be back! Thank you!
