Serene 2-bedroom, 2-bath lakefront retreat on scenic Staffordville Lake

This idyllic 2-bedroom, 2-bath lakefront retreat on scenic Staffordville Lake accommodates up to 8 guests (4 beds + 1 sleeper sofa), offering an unforgettable experience for your family. Enjoy breathtaking views from the cozy living area or the private deck. Kayak (2 included), swim off the floating dock, stargaze, grill out and enjoy your coffee on the deck! Separate workspace and free Wi-Fi for those working from home. Perfect for Brimfield Antique attendees. This is a private home, available to enjoy. It is built on a hill, though, so it does require steps down to the house and more steps down to the decks and lake. This space is no smoking, no pets and no parties. Due to the steepness of the inside stairs and the number of stairs to/from the house and lake, I don’t recommend this space for toddlers or very young children.
Guests access this home by a door code on the front door. Once inside, the decks can also be accessed through the downstairs slider. Guests can access all of the finished parts of the house plus use the washer dryer in the unfinished part of the basement. Kayaks, a swimming dock (seasonal), and a charcoal grill are available for your outdoor usage. Star gazing is encouraged! Indoors you will find games to play and high speed internet for working or streaming your favorite shows/movies (streaming services are the responsibility of the tenant). A fully stocked kitchen will allow you to cook Michelin star meals and cocktails for all. The kitchen includes a coffee pot (drip) with filters, toaster, dishwasher, microwave oven, full stove and oven and many more amenities such as a waffle maker and blender. The master bedroom has a queen sized bed and armoire and overlooks the lake. The second bedroom has a double bed and twin bunk beds for a total of 4 separate beds. The couch in the living room is a sleeper sofa, allowing for one more sleeping space. There is a full bathroom upstairs and a full bathroom downstairs by the work space/reading nook/doors to the deck. This home is ready for you to drop in, relax and enjoy the lake and beautiful New England views! The only rules we have are: no parties, no smoking inside and no pets (we have external cameras). Book now for a relaxing stay!

Clean and quiet lakefront cottage, OK for a short stay and well worth the money. We stayed in December so we couldn’t take advantage of its proximity to the lake. Kitchen was well equipped and the dishwasher was appreciated. Future guests should consider bringing a bar of soap and shampoo, as only liquid soap is provided at the bathroom sink.

Graduation weekend

The house worked out great as an alternative to getting several hotel rooms, allowing the family to all be together during graduation weekend. The lake view was beautiful, and wish we could have taken advantage of it more, but didn't have the time. Would definitely return if back in the area.

Quick getaway

The main floor is laid out well and very cozy. Kitchen is well stocked with plenty of workspace. We were worried about having space to eat, but were able to fit the 5 of us around the table with no issues. As described the stairs both inside and out are “interesting” but we didn’t have any issues. It was extremely cold and rainy when we arrived but the stairs had been cleared as well as possible and there was plenty of ice melt for us to use the next day when the weather cleared. The view is amazing and I’m sure even better during the warmer months.

We all enjoyed our stay. The property has two things I wish I had know earlier, being 85 years young. Steep, steep stairs to reach the decks near the water and the downstairs bathroom and spare room, laundry. Also, the convertible couch wouldn't let me get up! Almost had to call my son and so-in-law to get me out! It really needs to be replaced or repaired. Everything else was A1 and we really enjoyed it there.We would all go back!

We had a nice stay overall and appreciated that the home was clean where it mattered most—especially the bed, bathrooms, and kitchen. Everything we needed for our time there was available and functional. We really enjoyed the kayaks and floating rafts. Being able to get out on the lake is a nice perk. That said, the house could benefit from some general maintenance and a bit more attention to detail. A fresh coat of interior paint, and a power wash for the deck and house would really help the place shine and feel more inviting. With a few updates and a little extra care, this rental has the potential to be a truly great stay.We’re grateful for the hospitality and hope our feedback is helpful for future improvements.
