About this property

Historic Getaway with Private Beach Access

"The Stone House at Treetops" is a beautiful place for a family vacation or a romantic get-away. Three bedrooms, one on the first floor w/ a double bed w/ bathroom & shower. Two bedrooms on the second floor, one w/ queen bed, one w/ twin beds. A bathroom w/ tub is between them. New washer and dryer in basement. If you're looking for an historic spot for a quiet retreat and a beach on the best part of Newfound Lake, THIS place is for you. Your children will love it also. It's a real gem!

A piece of paradise

My family and I had a wonderful stay at this beautifully designed cottage on the hill and thoroughly enjoyed its charm and vibrant history! We too have a long history with lovely Newfound Lake and returning to a timeless retreat that feels like going back in time (but with modern amenities), was just what we were looking for. Jana was so kind and prompt with communication when we had questions and the beach access, and close proximity to our old friends at Basic Ingredients Bakery, was perfection. We can't wait to return! Thank you so much!

Stay at The Stone House

Both the house and. the area are lovely, and renewing. Wonderful walking trails nearby, pristine lake with loons and long sandy state beach. Very comfortable home, easily held two couples for part of the time. Jana was very helpful with all our questions.

Properly special

The Stone House is the nicest holiday rental we have stayed in in any country. The house is beautiful, with gorgeous panelling, lovely furniture and comfortable beds - a perfect, peaceful place to relax and read and cook. It is also very clean. Its bit of beach and boat house a short drive down the road are wonderful. We were very happy to be able to give our children tbe kind of vacation we had as children: lots of swimming, reading, playing board games and peace. The place feels as if it hasn't changed in decades in the very best way. A rare, charmed place. The owners are delightful, communicative and we are very grateful to them.

Great week at Stone House

We had a great 2nd visit to Stone House. The house has so much character, and it comes with a nice boathouse and deck providing lake access.

Charming Historic Treetop Stone Cottage

Delightful, secluded family vacation spot with old time charm perched on the hill. Perfect for those seeking privacy and quiet. Lakefront boathouse with beach, deck & water toys complete the package. Very responsive hostess.

Like stepping back in time.

Staying at the Stone Cottage is like stepping back in time.....the history here is incredible. Also, Newfound Lake is incredible. Extremely clean and peaceful.

The property was nice. I loved the quaint old stone house even though it didn't have modern convenie

There were too many insects crawling around for my liking and the floors were not clean. When the children played on them, their legs were black with dirt. The distance between the rails on the steps made me nervous with children under 5.

Wonderful place

We were very surprised and loved the house, the property, and the location, with the beach access to Newfound Lake. The pictures do not do the house justice. It is a superbly build classic with history. The my bed was the most comfortable I have ever slept in! Also a great surprise. We did a lot of cooking and found everything we needed and in good working order. The boathouse another bonus. Supplied with chairs, umbrella, canoe, sunfish, floatation toys and life jackets. The lake is crystal clear. Written up as one of the most pristine in the country. We would love to come back and stay. Fell in love with the place! Jana, Thank you for sharing it with us.
