About this property

Waterfront Retreat: 2BR with Huge Deck on Lake Lashaway Views in E. Brookfield!

Welcome to your perfect lakeside escape! Our one-level, ranch-style duplex home on Lake Lashaway offers the ideal setting for relaxation and adventure. This is a 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom rental, with approximately 1,000 sq ft of space, is designed to be your home away from home.

INSIDE THE HOME
This cozy retreat features an open floor plan with a kitchen, dining area, and living room that flow seamlessly together. The kitchen is fully equipped with a refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, electric range, and all the cooking utensils you'll need. Relax on the leather reclining couch and chair in the living room, where you'll find a flat-screen TV and DVD player for your entertainment. Each of the two large bedrooms is furnished with comfortable beds (1 king, 1 queen) and includes a flat-screen TV. Linens are provided for your convenience, and there's a washer and dryer in the unit for your use.

THE DECK AND OUTDOOR LIVING
The real highlight of this home is the massive 30' x 10' deck that extends over the water, offering breathtaking views of Lake Lashaway. Step out through the sliding glass door from the living room to enjoy outdoor dining and lounging. The deck is furnished with a table, umbrella, chairs, lounges, and a propane gas grill, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a meal or simply relax as you take in the stunning sunsets. You’ll also find a deck box filled with floats and a pump, so you can easily fill them up and spend your day floating on the lake.

Just a few steps down from the deck, you'll find a shared backyard, beach, and dock where you can swim, fish, or tie up your boat, Jet Ski, or sailboat. For added fun, the dock is equipped with kayaks and paddleboards for your use. Life jackets are required while using them and are conveniently stored in the second bedroom.

ABOUT LAKE LASHAWAY AND THE AREA
Lake Lashaway is a full recreational lake, ideal for boating, fishing, and water sports. There's a public boat ramp on the lake, making it easy to bring your own watercraft. The lake is known for its peaceful atmosphere and beautiful scenery, perfect for a relaxing getaway.

This pond offers good fishing for a variety of warm water fish species. The largemouth bass and chain pickerel are both numerous, with many fish of good size. Panfish are very abundant, and good-sized bullheads, yellow perch and white perch were common in the survey. The pickerel population makes this a good bet for ice fishing. Although the lake has not been stocked with northern pike since 1993, due to the longevity of these fish, the possibility of catching a trophy here will remain for many years to come.

Located in E. Brookfield, our home is conveniently situated on Route 9, offering quick access to local restaurants, shops, and major routes like the Mass Pike. You can easily explore nearby attractions such as the Brimfield Flea Market, local orchards, golf courses, and Old Sturbridge Village. Within walking distance, you'll find 308 Lakeside, a fine dining restaurant on the lake, a charming breakfast spot next door, a country store with beer and wine, and the post office. During the summer, enjoy Thursday evening concerts that are just a short stroll away.

4 day Vacation $1500 plus $89 insurance

My daughter needed a break so I sent her on a 4 day rest to a lake house. I find out the owner lives downstairs with a dog and the patio is off limits. I also see a hot tub advertising but no hot tub there. The house was beautiful. My daughter enjoyed her stay along with the activities on the lake. Then I get a notice that there’s damage and a file is being claimed. My daughter states the plastic window blind rod was broken and taped when she arrived and it cost $1.

Laidback at Lake Lashaway

This is an excellent place to stay for a relaxing getaway. The view of the lake is beautiful and the location is convenient to many activities and stores yet when sitting out on the deck it feels like civilization is far away. We were lucky enough to be in town for the July 4th fireworks which were amazing. We enjoyed the candlepin bowling - 2 alleys are nearby. The Metro Bistrot is a great French restaurants only 20 minutes away for a special night out. Cindy was so accommodating and quick to respond to any questions as well as giving info on local events such as the fireworks and local outdoor concerts. We would definitely come back!!

Lakeside Relaxation with Great Host

The best part off this property is being able to sit on the back deck and watch all the action on the lake. Lots of people have boats that they cruise the lake, pull kids on floats (look out for the unicorn) and fish with. Sunrises and Sunsets are beautiful. Pull up a chair, take a seat and just be. Cindy is a fantastic host and was very responsive to any needs we had during our stay.

Quite little lake house

We had a nice time visiting with friends and family. It was a nice change from the heat and humidity of Florida. The lake house had just about everything you could need for a lovely vacation.

First Trip to MA June 2019

Cindy, your property was everything we could have hoped for. Location was perfect for our trip and the places we were visiting. The view from the porch was spectacular. We had everything we needed for cooking, etc. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay at your property. We are just sorry we didn't get to meet you and your husband. If we make it back the MA area, we will definitely see if your property is available. Take care, Penny

Home Away from Home!

Very charming place to stay. The lake view is awesome! The house had everything you could possibly need, a true home away from home and it was spotless! Cindy was very helpful in helping us get settled in and could not have been nicer. Although the property is on a main street, you do not hear the traffic at all in the house and what you can hear on the deck is minimal. The house is also within walking distance to several places to eat which was really convenient, although I could have cooked a gourmet meal with how well the kitchen was stocked. We really enjoyed our stay and if we ever want to return to the Brimfield Flea Maket, we would definitely stay here again. Thanks for everything!

The lake was beautiful. Cindy and Cliff were very friendly and helpful.

Loved the view of lake, kayaking was fun. Being on main street was a downfall. The cottage was equipped with everything we needed, except for the no stick frying pan we bought for them which is a must. I would brighten up the kitchen area, rather than have it so dark. Just suggestions to better the visual part of it as we enjoyed our stay but some things,could be changed to better the stay for guests. Rooms were good sizes, but lighter colors would really change the character of the cottage . Anne & John

Wonderful

We can highly recommend the appartment. The kitchen has all you need for cooking, the beds are comfortable. The appartment is very clean and we loved it to be there. All the time we went to the windows for to look over the lake. It was so beautiful. And if you like to swim, it is perfect. Only a few steps and you are in the water. Thanks so much, Cindy and Cliff. If it would be possible in the future we will come back.

Did not stay, but the interaction says it all

My grandmother was put on hospice, and I got a call from my mother than she'd flown to Mass to be by her mother's side. She asked me to come, and I needed to quickly locate a house so that she could stay with me. I left a message for Cindy, she returned my call promptly, and I was able to book. Later that afternoon, my grandmother passed away. My mother called and told me not to come, that they would be holding a service for her, but not until later in the year. At this point I thought for sure I'd be out the money I paid for the house, but Cindy returned my message and let me know that they would be refunding it to me. I was shocked, and extremely happy. They made an already stressful and difficult time so much less difficult. I do look forward to staying with them in the future, but in the mean time, I cannot say enough about their generosity.

Fantastic holiday!

This was the best holiday ever! Not only was the house fully equipped for everything, the owners Cindy and Cliff were only too happy to supply us with whatever we thought we needed! Fresh fluffy towels, super clean home, wonderfully comfortable beds and seating inside and out. The lake is dreamy, yet you are never far away from somewhere interesting to go to, that is if you can tear yourself away from the lake! Glorious sunsets every night together with a sun filled deck for breakfast, what more can you want? We came here to be together with friends we don't get to see very often and it was perfect. There is total privacy ...I could go on and on. I would recommend this place to anyone it was truly a five star vacation, we will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Cliff & Cindy Leinonen

Host profile image
Cliff and Cindy are local real estate experts in the Brookfields and surrounding towns. We own our own real estate office and have been in the business since 2000. We are now licensed in MA & VT. We have been a couple for 20+ years and got married in 2009. We have lived in the area our entire lives. Cliff graduated from UMass Lowell and Cindy graduated from Quinsigamond Community College. Both with degrees in Business Management.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property because we love to travel and unwind. This home provided us an opportunity to be close to everything and run our business from home, being it is a downtown location while having the luxury of lakeside living. We enjoy having restaurants next door and across the street as well as a small bar soon to reopen. There are also breweries, churches, golf, bowling, grocery stores, Petruzzi's farm, farmer's market, Klem's, etc. within minutes of our home. It was the perfect location for us.

What makes this property unique

Our home directly overhangs the water. You don't have to walk far to be relaxing by the beach. You can walk to local restaurants and bars which are across the street and next door. You can also walk to the town beach which is less than a mile away.

Sitting out on the deck in the evening with a nice glass of wine watching the sunset is always a favorite of ours and our guests. The views are amazing!

We do have a beach to sit and relax on and put your toes in the water if you don't want to swim. A lot of houses on the lake do not have an actual sandy area. We do!
