About this property

Beautiful Lakefront Home with Private Beach

Rustic lakefront home ideally located for exploring historic New England. The house is at the end of a private road on a 1 acre wooded lot. The house is on a wooded peninsula and surrounded by water on three sides. Most rooms include water views. There is a sandy beach that includes a dock. The gradual slope of the beach is ideal for young children. The house sleeps 8 in bedrooms and has a queen sofa bed in the living room. There is easy access to Boston via car or public transportation. The house features a spacious great room with gas fireplace, large dining room and a fully equipped gourmet kitchen.

Summer and Fall are excellent times of year to enjoy swimming in the lake or relaxing and enjoying the reflection of the fall foliage in the pond. In winter there is easy access to trails for cross country skiing. Downhill skiing & snowboarding is available at Wachusett Mountain Ski Area which is a scenic 30-minute drive. New England Sport Center is a short drive down 290. The house is also convenient to the many colleges and medical facilities in the Worcester area.

Please note this is a multi-level house. There is a flight of stairs to get to the main level and a small number of steps between areas within the house. If you have mobility issues this would not be a good fit for you.

Lake House

Quiet location very private end of the road on a peninsula with a lake on three sides. Would probably be a great summer destination.Carpeting is outdated as is the bed linens. We had the rewash a couple of our bed linens because there was hair in the bed. Old stained pillows. One set was a bit worn, and I had to borrow a queen size set for my daughter who lives locally.Towels are new, but undersized definitely not plush. Hand towels were included, but there were no bath wash towels so we used kitchen wash towels for the showers.If it seems I’m being critical that’s because this could be a five star property instead of the three that I would give it. Update the carpeting, bed linens, and bath linens. The location is great for a quiet family getaway. Half hour or less to Wachusett’s ski run;-)

Great location. Nice house. Some small suggestions.

Overall, this was a beautiful location. Quiet and secluded get close to Worcester. Nice layout. Only suggestions regardongwhat we would have liked different is to have soap and shampoo available. Also, the sheets seem very old. But we would not hesitate to stay here again.

GFM Fall Get together

We celebrated our annual Fall get together with 8 50yr old woman. The property is huge! The lake was beautiful and weather amazing. We made a foot bath area at the lake and planted succulents. The fire pits are large and plenty of room for everyone to gather either down by the water or next to the house. Parking was great with plenty of spots around the home. Besides the slight musty odor in the finished basement, the home was lovely! I would recommend bringing toiletries and condiments if you need them, otherwise plenty of towels and a huge kitchen that was great for gathering and eating. A few spiders in the corners but you’re really at the end of a road in the woods surrounded by water, so critters are to be expected. The sunsets and sunrise were spectacular! Coffee by the water in the morning, cocktail at night. Host was generous to give us an early check in so we got the most out of our stay! Highly recommend this property for the lake, home and space you get for the price!

Girls’ Weekend

This property is amazing and the host is awesome! The house is so clean. The grounds outside are spread out amongst 2 fire pits and a beach area with a dock. It is very private. Any questions we had for the host, she answered right away and took care of. I would highly recommend this property. We hope to go back next year.

Lake House

We had a little delay at check in due to the previous renters, but everything went well after that. Coffee maker died and was replaced the next day. The house offers tons of space inside and out. The fishing in the "pond" was great. Very quiet and peaceful area. I'd recommend adding an outside light under the deck at the lower level entrance. The other thing would be to cut back the vegetation that covers the house number so you know what driveway to take.

great getaway o the lake

Charming home on the lake. Very close to the city. Really great kitchen equipped with everything you could need. We really enjoyed the property, the fire pits and the lake. We rented this place specifically because of the beach and the lake for our dog to be able to go swimming. It was perfect for that. Our only complaint was that the beds weren't very comfortable but that's what you usually get in a rental property anyway. Overall a great experience.

Great location

The property was wonderful, the pond that it is located on was very weedy. Fine for fishing but swimming was not really an option (this of course has nothing to do with the owner). My daughters and their partners did not like their mattresses (the master mattress was fine). Overall I thought the place was pretty clean but my wife has different standards than I do and she vacuumed and the vacuum gave off a smell that smelled like used gym socks. The vaulted ceilings had many spider webs that the cleaners must have missed. Overall the best part was the location, when on the property it felt like we were in the wilderness but it is only 10 minutes from any store or restaurant that we wanted to go to. The fishing was great and the fire pit off the kitchen was our favorite evening location.

Tranquil and relaxing

We spent a wonderful few nights at this, secluded, quiet and idyllic property on a small pond just outside of Worcester for our daughters graduation. So much nicer than a couple of hotel rooms. Our only complaint was that it smells very damp in the basement making it difficult to enjoy the game areas and pool table. Everything else was excellent. Kitchen is incredibly well stocked. Host was excellent at letting us make a change last minute. Very accommodating.

A quirky retreat- secluded, yet near Worcester

I use the term "quirky", because this house has an unusual layout and unusual decor. Lots of steps to different wings of the house and many small areas outdoors, off of many different rooms. That said, in terms of a family stay, it offered a large kitchen, living room and dining room as gathering spaces. Very well stocked kitchen for food prep and serving. Very clean and updated bathrooms were appreciated. One word of caution- this a raised ranch with access to the house via a full flight of stairs, making settling in and packing up a little difficult for older guests.

Family Graduation Stay

This lakefront home was perfectly located to WPI Campus for us to attend our son's graduation. The kitchen was well-equipped and the dining table was large enough for our entire family of 8! We enjoyed moments of recreation around the basement pool table and took pictures at the "beach". All slept comfortably, but know that if you need darkness to sleep, the window treatments are not room-darkening. The owner was very prompt with communication. We very much enjoyed out stay!
