Waterfront Cottage on Scenic Sportsman Pond

Camp like two bedroom cottage directly on a gorgeous pond. Well stocked with linens, games, and watersports equipment. Quiet remote gorgeous setting. Only thing missing is internet access.

We had a good time. The place is extremely clean, and peaceful. It was nice that it was pet friendly and we could bring our dog. The pond really wasn’t for swimming and the kids were disappointed. We tried some fishing and the second day out on the canoe we did catch some small perch. The pond was really low and only a few feet deep. It’s a great place for peace and quiet.

This home is located on a large pond/small lake that doesn’t have a lot of other properties on it so it’s super quiet. The house has a very cool 1950’s retro vibe but has all the modern amenities you would need for your stay. It can sleep up to 8 comfortably but we were only 4 for most of our stay. We had 2 visitors who used the pull out sofas one night. They said they were comfortable for a pull out. The 2 beds in the bedroom were very comfortable. Linda has thought of everything and the property is quite big. I’ve also never had such a thorough tour and greeting from Becky the property manager who was very kind. We didn’t spend a lot of time at the property bc we were visiting family on Laurel lake but we did do a kayak tour on the pond one morning and it was really zen. Only thing to know here is that the water has a ton of minerals and you can see and smell it but I have a feeling we were the first guests this year and they are working on it. They provided 2 cases of water bottles which was great bc we didn’t know about the water but I recommend bringing some large water containers as those little bottles are terrible for the environment. The house was spotless and there’s AC’s for your comfort but honestly we didn’t need them it was cool at night. This isn’t a high end house it’s a cottage meant for getting away and it didn’t disappoint. Lots of boats to use as well. I recommend highly. Linda the owner is very responsive and accommodating as well.

Sportsman's Pond and Blueberry Cottage provided the ideal location for disconnecting from the noise and busyness of every day life. The pond was beautifully serene, without outboard motors, jet skis, etc. The fall colors were gorgeous. The hosts provided every sort of watercraft one might want. I kayaked everyday exploring the shoreline and watching for birds. The cottage was well equipped, the bed was comfortable and an assortment of chairs and couches were available for lounging, viewing the lake and simply reading or napping. There was plenty of hot water. Floor heaters were provided to counter the fall temperatures. Bottled water was in ample supply for those who prefer a non-mineral taste. We returned home refreshed, relaxed and revitalized.

Very clean, very private and secluded. What a hidden gem!

Blueberry Cottage is the perfect place to unwind by the lake. The cottage was well stocked and equipped with everything you could possibly need. So much to do right on the property. We enjoyed the kayaks, canoe and fishing right off the private dock. We enjoyed bonfires every night and really appreciated having firewood there and ready to use. We will surely be back!

We took a trip here on a holiday weekend and still only saw one other family. Very quiet and secluded and Linda was wonderful

The scenery and ambiance of the property won us over right away. Slept on the veranda with the windows open, listening to the wildlife and waking to the views of the lake. Was a great place, sorry it was so chilly in the mornings…can’t do much about the weather :)

Had a wonderful weekend kayaking and fishing. Very private and quiet. Great relaxing spot in nature

Linda was wonderful in her review of the property and was very accommodating in all aspects of our stay. The cottage was well equipped and very comfortable including the mattress. We enjoyed the lake and a little fishing. The area is very nice and we did some exploring. It was very quiet and we rarely even saw anyone while we were on the lake. We hope to return in the spring or summer. Many thanks to Linda and Brad

The description in Vrbo matched what we found & other than the rain we had a great time. We spent a good deal of our time out on the water in the provided kayaks,floats, motor boats & swimming. The water will appear brown but it is clear. It is this color because of the type of tree rooots that ring this very large pond that is only 10 ft deep. Lots of fish! We saw a bald eagle,heron,heard loons. Very private, never saw anyone else. Great basecamp for hiking, biking, going to restaurants. Several nearby towns have movies,libraries,groceries & laundromat. Limited shopping for gifts. We would go back!
