Pictures don’t convey how peaceful, charming, and idyllic this cottage on the lake is.Orestes (and Spot, the Jack Russell terrier!) are the perfect hosts, as well.

His weekend breakfasts were delicious, too!We highly recommend staying for a weekend (or longer!) getaway—you will definitely want to return.

This is a really cute cottage, nicely decorated and in a beautiful location. The pool is very clean, the views are fantastic, and it’s a nice quiet neighborhood. The real star is Orestes, who is a really friendly guy who provides a delicious breakfast on weekends. More like a hotel than a VRBO! ##### Tim B.

This stay really was so spectacular. The host has the best space that has absolutely everything you need down to the little details. Not only was it clean, but its big bright windows overlooking the lake was a dream to wake up to and drink coffee in front of every morning. Everything was fully stocked including the kitchen and bathroom. The host was so welcoming and available even when i texted him to ask how to make a fire in the fireplace(lol). I will definitely be back again and recommend everyone to give this place a try! ##### christina b. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Deborah W. 8 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Cute! Sitting outside the cottage overlooking the reservoir (on other side of road) was superb after being in hectic New York. The bed was comfy but located up a steep, narrow spiral staircase. Small bathroom downstairs. Eclectic furnishings. Very clean. Would recommend seniors opt for house option rather than cottage. Host very pleasant. ##### Deborah W.
