Are you looking for a relaxing waterfront get away This may be your place! This newly renovated cottage is located on a pristine 54 acre lake that just begs to be explored! Please enjoy our kayaks and canoe to embark on your own journey. There are no gas powered motors allowed on this lake which makes it a relaxing place for swimming, floating and boating! I hear the fishing is good too. The cottage is situated on a spacious double lot that provides plenty of room for activities and some added privacy. Inside you will find a lovingly renovated 2 bedroom cottage with approx 1200 square feet of living space. The layout is open and bright with fantastic views of the lake and some magnificent sunrises! The kitchen is fully stocked and should satisfy most of your needs. There are multiple sitting areas for chatting, relaxing, napping and a dining table for 6. The main bedroom is quite large and consists of a queen size bed and full size futon. The second bedroom has twin bunks. There is another futon in the front living room perfectly suited for those that don't want to miss the sunrise, which is often spectacular!

    My family and I have rented about a dozen lake house properties over the years, and we've never stayed at one that was so well managed. The property was clean and well maintained. Instructions on how to access all the amenities were simple and precise. Everything they offered in the add for this rental was fulfilled. A true 5 star family vacation.

    We had a wonderful weekend at the lake house. The house was cozy and had everything we needed. Being right on the lake was so peaceful and our toddlers had the best time looking for turtles, frogs and learning how to fish. Throw in campfires and smore making and we couldn’t have asked for a better getaway. Noelle was a great host, and was very easy to get in touch with. If you’re looking for a quiet, peaceful, relaxing stay, Ashford Lake is definitely a great choice.

    The cottage is immaculate and very cozy. Noelle has done a wonderful job of making the cottage comfortable and user friendly. The view from the cottage overlooking the lake is lovely. The lighting on the deck and the lawn is magical. Wish we had more time to spend at the cottage, the perfect spot for a quiet getaway.

    Perfect getaway, even better than promised! The grounds were in great condition, the lake was peaceful, the house was charming and well stocked. I came out with my mini poodle and he had a great time, and there were lots of little touches that made it especially dog friendly, like an extra lease, a water/food bowl setup, a doggy bed, and a doggy gate for the porch. The bed, pillows, and linens were very comfortable. Would def book again! Also, the host was very communicative and friendly!

    The property is exactly as pictured, which isn't always the case. Decorated cutely, small but well organized to make the most use of the space. The beds all seemed comfortable, including the pull out ones - I only slept on one bed but heard no complaints from anyone else. Everything needed was provided. When we ran out of paper towels it took a bit of hunting but we found those there too. Great communication with the host. We ended up staying on a rainy weekend so we didn't use the lake, but had fun and used the covered patio section with chairs. Bug spray was also provided, they really have everything.

    This wonderful cottage on a beautiful quiet lake was just what we needed. Our family came and we had a great Father's Day cookout. Our daughter came with her huband and son often since the cottage was close to home. We loved watching our 4 yr old grandson learn to fish. We will be returning. Thank you Noelle for sharing your place with us. Karen & Darren

    This was the perfect place to unwind for a few days. The house is quaint and cozy, super clean, and very dog friendly. There were fresh flowers in the kitchen and plenty of throw blankets for cooler nights. There was even a bed and bowls for the dogs! It is such a peaceful place and so comfortable inside and out. Noelle was easy to reach and very accommodating.I would definitely stay again.

    We stayed for 2 nights during a long weekend. Gorgeous home, very clean, and all amenities needed to enjoy our stay were there (life jackets, board games, kitchen items, dog items (bowls, tie out, poo bags)). Beautiful foliage to enjoy when going for a nice walk around the lake as well. Really happy we found this place!

    This place is awesome! It's the best spot for people who need to recharge. It is a very memorable place for me since this is where I was able to watch the Northern Lights that I had been on a quest for for months! I'm so grateful to Noelle for allowing me to create more beautiful memories by being so accommodating! ❤️ I will definitely come back to the Lake House! 😊

    This was a wonderful place for a weekend retreat with a few close friends. The cottage is beautiful, clean and spacious, with ample linens and kitchen amenities, a gorgeous view of the lake, and lots of welcoming outdoor space and peace and quiet. The host was very responsive and helpful when we needed her assistance with a water problem on the last night, and generously offered us a partial refund. We appreciated the beautiful place and the excellent service, and would definitely come back.
