Lakefront; view of ski mountain, firepit, dock, kayaks, paddle board

(PLEASE NOTE: We have another lakefront house five doors down if you need additional room. Ask us for the link.)

We take a lot of pride in presenting our home to our guests. We will always offer you an experience that we would appreciate and enjoy.

Little Oak Cottage has been completely renovated into a getaway haven.

*A brand new retaining wall and dock will be installed May 2024. This will extend and even out the lawn for nights around the firepit!

An open concept kitchen and living room with granite countertops and exposed beam ceilings. A comfortable pullout sofa adds sleeping options.

Wide sliders in the main living area open up to the large back deck, letting in natural light and making a great space to relax and gaze at the views of the lake and mountain.

Barn doors close off the master bedroom with a gorgeous tiled bathroom attached. The queen sized murphy bed allows both comfort and convenience.

The open staircase and catwalk leads to two small loft rooms that offer additional sleeping areas.

When it’s time for the lake, you will find kayaks and paddle-boards to cruise the calm waters and take in the amazing mountain views.

After a full day on the lake, gather around the fire-pit. String-lights hanging overhead; tiki torches around the yard; and the clear night sky — all provide the perfect lakeside setting.

- WiFi

The outside is treated all summer long to eliminate mosquitos, tics and other bugs so you can enjoy time with family by the fire-pit late into the night.

Off-street parking accommodates four cars.

Perfect lake front cabin
Place was pristine, great location on the lake. Beautiful scenery with the mountains, used the kayaks to get around the lake and catch some fish! My son and i caught pickerel, perch, bass, crappies, and pumkinseeds. Quick drive from Boston @ a little over a hour.

Great location, but it could be far better.
My wife and I arrived at the property and got in easily. We were apparently supposed to receive a “guide” with information about the Wi-Fi, check-out process, etc. but never did. I called the owner who was helpful and sent it to me right away. The property was very small, which was expected. I’m 5’10” and almost couldn’t stand up straight in the loft. The beds were as described, but pretty uncomfortable. The sofa bed is completely unusable because of the springs. As we were setting the beds up, a dirty sock came out of the trundle bed which is pretty gross. There were fruit flies inside the house when we got there and there were loads of mosquitos outside. We were under the impression that the property was treated for insects according to the posting. There were cobwebs on the ceiling and dead flies around the window frames. Everything else was reasonably clean. All in all, everything just felt very cheap. The grill couldn’t even grill a couple of steaks and it was dirty with no cover. There wasn’t even a grill brush to clean it. There isn’t a doormat to wipe your feet as you come into the house. There aren’t any hooks to hang up towels or bathing suits and there aren’t any dressers or storage furniture. The area is very nice, however. I think for a (short) couple, this is a decent place to stay for a night or two, but for us, the weather ended up sucking so we left early. It just wasn’t a comfortable getaway as we were expecting.

Cute Little Lake Front
Tyler was such a big help during our stay and answered every message and call. We enjoyed the beautiful view from the living room area. All instructions were very clear and understandable. Animals are allowed which we understood, but we do wish the cleaner was able to get more of the dog hair off of the furniture and floor. We will definitely be looking at this property again when we come back next year.

Lovely cottage very close to Wachusett Mountain
We were looking for somewhere to stay that was close to Mount Wachusett. The cottage was very clean, cozy, and had many amenities including a fully stocked kitchen and an electric fireplace . Though we were for skiing there during the wintertime, the cottage is on a lake and kayaking is also an option during the summer. The hosts were quickly available to us with any questions. There is even a complimentary bottle of wine to enjoy!

Loved it!
My niece and her family stayed here while visiting from the south, and very much enjoyed this home and the area. It was her husband‘s first time to New England, and having the view of the water with the fall color was perfect for his first experience here. They didn’t get to spend a lot of time at the house itself as they were visiting family in the area, but they were happy to have a cozy spot to go back to at the end of their busy days!

Nice place but consider your height/size
Nice place. Very Clean. Quiet. Owner was proactive about checking in on us and accommodating. I would definitely stay here again when in the area, but the bathroom is small and ceiling on upper floor is sloped and low. A very big and tall person might feel a little crunched.

Great place, excellent host
We had such a wonderful time at Tyler’s place! It was extremely clean, well appointed, and comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, and everyone we encountered was very kind. Great fishing from right off the dock; we loved seeing so much wildlife up close. The house is very much an open-concept situation, which was fine for us since we were all family. Would absolutely stay again.
