Perfectly adorable house that was ideal for our brief getaway. I wish we had been able to use the kayak/canoe but time was tight. The only issue was the driveway which had me holding my breath a bit but luckily we were careful and managed without incident.

Well appointed cabin was perfect for a quick weekend up to visit friends. Would love to come back in warm weather to take advantage of the proximity to the beautiful lake. Thanks!

The view was beautiful! Its close enough to water access but not right on the water. The bed was comfy, the place was clean, and firepit was a nice perk on a cooler night! If I'm ever traveling out that way again, I'd definitely stay again!

Good for weekend trip
Overall, nice for a weekend get away to do some kayaking on a lake. Owner communication was great, cottage was accurately described. Best for 1-2 people due to space (rather than a family). Cottage was clean (cleaning service was leaving as we arrived). As noted in other reviews, driveway is challenging when backing out, and could use a guard rail/stones, etc. to help. Steep hill to walk up/down from house, but access to lake is right across the street. Nice and quiet in the mornings.

Lovely pre-fall getaway
Perfect place for a last-minute getaway for two. While more can stay, it would definitely be a tight squeeze. It was great for two professors who needed a last break to get some work done and quiet before the fall semester starts. Thank you!

Nice place lots of character
We totally enjoyed the cabin and all it offered to us. We were a little disappointed in the beaches that you could walk too. They are close but not well maintained. Some of the photos make it seem like a nice beach is local. There is a nice beach but it’s a drive to the state park. Not so much a negative as setting expectations. The water view is wonderful. Amenities and location were great. Bed was super comfortable and multiple outdoor spaces to enjoy.

Perfect weather for a getaway! Great location to get to get around. Cottage was perfect for us. Fire pit was great to hang out at. Went kayaking across the street. Beautiful lake. However, the access to the lake was a wee bit steep but we are in shape to handle it. All in all it was a great time!

Squantz Cottage Getaway
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Squantz Cottage. Property was well maintained, clean, and convenient. Parking at the cottage can be a little tricky backing out and getting on to the road. An option to park at the main house could be helpful. I would definitely rent again!

Clean & efficient
This sweet and clean cottage is depicted well in the pix.... we enjoyed our 2 night stay. I would urge a prospective renter to read the reviews. Accessibility with the drive can be a bit overwhelming-backing in off of busy route 39 and with an unprotected drop off into the yard. The steps are steep with some unevenness but once you get into the cottage it's charming.

2 night stay
The cottage was everything we needed. The bed and sofa were comfy and the rainfall shower was wonderful. The area was very quiet and relaxing. I would say that the driveway is a little harrowing because it’s on a ledge and the road in front is 45 mph, but we were able to back in most times that we parked the car. Overall we had a great experience.

Nice place to stay
Very nice place, very clean and has all the amenities. Not a place for someone with disabilities. As stated in the description, be very careful of going in and out of the driveway. It may be long, however it is not very trailer friendly, it is narrow and even the most expert of drivers need to pay close attention. It would beneficial to remove the stones on the street side and leave it grass. Also to add some solar lights as a guide. We brought our own because we knew we would be backing up during the dark hours.

Overall the interior of the property was great. Very clean and everything you need for your visit. The shower is awesome and everything is very comfortable. The property manager was very sweet and there was a balloon and chocolates for my wife and my anniversary with a very nice card. Location and photo wise there were some disappointments. You are in another houses back yard. The lake is across the street and down a hill. The beach area is down the end of the cul du sac a small walk from the property. There is not much privacy outside. The driveway is small, has a precipitous drop off and is on a very busy street so getting in and out is a little nerve-wracking. Overall we had a very nice stay but pay attention to every picture and know you are not on the water.

Absolutely gorgeous!
This guest house was perfect for our weekend gateway. The house was so cozy and had everything we needed. The lake was literally right across from the house. Its so beautiful and peaceful. We really enjoyed the water and also kayaking. The view from the house was stunning. We loved the grill and outside seating area. Eric and Maki were so nice and very helpful. It was my birthday and they had a cake delivered to the house which was super awesome! We will definitely be coming back!

Clean and well designed
The space is designed beautifully for it's size. Everything has a purpose and place. Squantz pond is beautiful and the mountain setting is wonderful. You can see the mountains from the driveway, but not from the cabin since it's behind another home. But in a location like this, you don't spend to much time indoors. I would love to have had an outdoor spigot to give our dog a bath after a day in the water. But the shower worked just fine. Thank you for the lovely visit, I'm now infatuated with the area!
