This is the second time we stayed at this lakefront escape (first time was 2023). My family and I absolutely love it. It is quiet and the view of the lake is stunning. It is very hard to impress teen boys and when they said “best vacation ever”- we knew we did something right. My family are big with fishing and kayak so this property was perfect for us. The property itself has everything you need- I cooked almost every single night. We also ventured out to Ender Forest Park and enjoyed the hike and waterfalls (and it’s FREE). We also have to visit the old mill pond a mile down the road and it has a general store, antique and everything Christmas. The property is also very close to six flags Agawam. It was the original reason why we booked it but ended up only going there once this trip and stayed at the property for the most part kayaking and fishing (catch & release). The owners were extremely accessible and helpful throughout our stay. As much as I want to gatekeep this place- I want to share our experience with families who love peaceful quiet and relaxing lakefront retreat. Yes- there’s 70 steps to the property and that is very clear from the start but for us it’s worth it. If climbing up and down is an issue- then maybe this is not for you but if you want extra leg workout while on vacation- it’s amazing lol. It’s all about balance, right? Thank you Dave and Family for hosting us again

Family getaway

We very much enjoyed this cute and cozy lake house. The views, the fishing and the clean and comfortable home made our family getaway very relaxing and enjoyable. The kitchen was well equipped, the beds were comfortable, the neighborhood was quiet and the home had all we needed to have a wonderful time.

Too small with crazy neighbors.

I knew this place was small but it was much smaller than I thought it would be. They said there would AC, there was no AC. The parking situation is a disaster, which they don't tell you about until you book it. You have to walk down a hill of 70 plus steps to get to the place. The neighbors out of their mind, one of them threatened someone in our group with a shotgun. I would not recommend this property.

Perfect Weekend Trip

If you're looking for a sweet house, on a lake, away from all of the congestion, this is the perfect place for you! My husband and I took out the kayaks and went for a beautiful ride on the lake. So peaceful. We ended up driving into Springfield for dinner and the casino which was only 30 min away. Thank you for sharing your home!!

Peaceful!

The location is great right on the water, kayaks were provided as well as bikes which offered plenty to keep you active and having fun, however if you are looking for piece and quiet you had that as well. Sunsets seen from the kayaks on the water was amazing and the sunrises from the deck and or picture window were beautiful as well, we had a great time.

Perfect lake house getaway

This lake cottage is as beautiful as the pictures in the listing. Clean, just enough space to relax and enjoy the lake. Decks on the front and back of house all view lake. Perfect property - very tranquil and peaceful! Perfect to getaway and unwind. Beds were very comfy. Shower was super clean and big enough. Comfy outdoor chairs. Private dock into lake. Kids loved wii sports and smart TVs with Netflix and prime. If you are looking for a quiet lake getaway this is perfect.

Perfect start to summer

Three days spent in this adorable cottage was a great way to start off the summer season. Easy access to fishing, kayaks and lake life! We’ve done several trips over the past year using Vrbo, and this was definitely the present match to keep ourselves and the kids entertained while still finding time to relax.
