Parker Lakeside Cottage is a unique stand alone cottage tucked away in the channel on Paugus Bay. The cottage is the largest unit you can rent in the mostly owner-occupied association and is the end unit! Parker Cottage has been beautifully updated with knotted pine in the completely remodeled bathroom, brand new environmentally friendly floors, fresh interior paint, ship lap back splash in the kitchen and completely redecorated! The master bedroom and living room overlook the lake which is just steps from the cottage. Enjoy your own private section of beach with picnic table, and barbecue. Two assigned parking spaces just steps in front of the cottage.
Guests can bring kayaks, paddleboards or canoe and launch those off to the left of the dock in back of the cottage. Please store under cottage. No boat docks available for renting and guests are not allowed to beach jet sea doos. Many guests have been enjoying daily rental of pontoon boats from local marinas.
Guests will need to bring their sheets, blankets, pillow cases, bath and beach towels and blankets if blankets are desired. Guests will be charged extra if pillowcases and sheets are not used. We no longer provide bedspreads, pillow shams, pillowcases or sheets. We provide dish towels, hand towels and pillows.
Note: There is exterior video surveillance of the beach area from a neighboring cottage, No. 10.
We spent wonderful family vacation in Diane lake cottage. Especially kids will have a great memories. Great communication with Diane. I highly recommend this place.
Our stay was quite lovely! The beach was clean as was the cottage. Diane was very accommodating and even bought some spices for us prior to our arrival. The cottage was surprisingly quiet although it’s proximity is close to the drive-in, public beach and restaurants. We will definitely book another stay!
My husband and kids (14 & 16) stayed in this cute cottage on the channel from 8/7-8/14. You could tell the owner has spent time making it welcoming and user friendly for guests. It’s “quaint”. If you’re looking for a sprawling property with a gourmet kitchen, this is not the place for you. But if you plan to spend most of your visit outside and want to be centrally located, and literally ON THE LAKE, this place is perfect. Kitchen is small (2 burner stove, microwave, no oven), but was nicely appointed, and had a full sized dining table. Main living area was spacious and comfortable with a large window with a great view (and an A/C unit which proved useful the last couple of days). Bathroom is tiny, but in very good condition (great water pressure too!). Beds (queen and twin bunk) were comfortable (surprisingly, so was the futon in the living room!). You have to bring your own linens and towels which can take up a lot of car space, but it’s fine, and not that uncommon. The entire property/complex is well maintained. As for the private beach area, it was lovely. We were concerned it would be noisy on the channel, but it’s a “no wake” zone, so we saw a lot of boats but weren’t bothered by them at all. Clean sandy beach, picnic table with large umbrella, more than enough plastic Adirondack chairs (perfect for putting in the water ?), beach toys should you need them, plenty of flotation devices. Diane was very responsive to all of my inquiries both before and during our visit. In short, this “Charmer on the Channel” was perfect for our family of 4 during our week at the lake. We would absolutely return.
The cottage was adorable a
This is such a nice place to stay. The location is the best and it was extremely clean and bright. We are planning on booking again and would certainly recommend to anyone.
This cozy lakeside cottage was perfect for our family. It was very clean and nice decorations and furniture. Swimming area right out back and location was perfect for our vacation.
