About this house rental

Our private and peaceful lakefront rustic home is 40 miles to Boston, with 300' on the lake, with 3 docks, a small sandy beach for children, and a number of boats plus a ramp for your boat. (FOR winter rental for 6 to 8 month rental, see below)

The house is on the point of land, offering lovely views from the two decks and a screened lake porch. The 1st-floor BR has a comfortable double bed, and the sizeable 2nd-floor bedroom has three twin beds. The den has a fireplace, 46" HD TV, DVD, and internet access. There are three A/C that can help on hot days. The kitchen has new appliances in the four years, and there is a washer and dryer in the bathroom. Forty feet in front of the house is a dock with a water depth of about 9 feet at the end, great for swimming, fishing, and boating. In addition, there is a small sandy "beach" area with a gradual slope, which is excellent for young children. There is a rowboat, canoe, paddle boards, paddle boat, and boat ramp access for your boat on the property for your convenience.

Being near the end of a dead-end road, we have a great feeling of privacy with 2.7 acres with 300' on North Pond. Abutting the property is a 500-acre Peppercorn Hill conservation area with many walking and mountain biking trails. Here is an online map. www.facebook.com/pages/Peppercorn-Hill-Conservation-Area/596781767035927
The lake's surface is about 234 acres, which has an average of 9 feet deep feet. We see many birds, including many ducks, a Great Blue Heron, and swans.
Lake Maspenock has a rich history, with records dating back over three hundred and forty years.

Stayed for 4 nights to visit people in the area. Home is rustic but beautifully appointed and comfortable. Kitchen well stocked and views from every room just amazing. Be aware that there is a good size grass hill to get from car to house but worth the haul to be right on the lake. If you have mobility issues first floor bedroom is huge with bathroom on first floor. Communication with host could not have been better! Very happy and would stay here again. The fall leaves were beautiful.

While not completely isolated, this lakeside cabin was peaceful and serene. The array of birds around the cabin is impressive, and the few neighbors we encountered were very friendly. The knotty Pine interior has a lovely, rustic smell that makes the cabin feel cozy and homey. Whether your travel plans take you west to the Berkshires, or east to the Cape, the cabin is centrally located and a short distance from anywhere you plan to visit in Massachusetts.

Visited this lovely location on our honeymoon. It was tranquil and relaxing after the chaos of a wedding was greatly appreciated. All the amenities of home with the quiet of camping on a lake. Spent hours just admiring the view and unplugging. Super friendly and welcoming host.

We had a great stay. It's about what you would expect for an older home. The pictures are pretty accurate and I certainly didn't feel like it was too dirty. The previous reviewer was most likely a clean freak and probably hasn't rented many older homes in the past. This is a 1950's cabin, so it what it is. That all said, I would definitely stay here again. My kids and wife had a blast. Breakfast on the porch was one of the highlights, as the lake view during a fall sunrise was just beautiful. The kids also enjoyed many hours of exploring and playing in the yard. Add in some time on the canoe and some time cooking out on the grill and it made the perfect, relaxing getaway. The only warning I would give to future people is to maybe check with the owner about any construction that might be going on next door. It didn't "bother" us per se, but the next door neighbor had some constant noises going on with the $100k stone wall they were building/pressure washing. We're from FL, so the constant white noise from A/C running is normal to us, but if you're sensitive to that kind of stuff, you may be disappointed. It looks almost done, so maybe we just got unlucky. Still though, not a huge deal.Other than that, the whole street was extremely quiet. This is a great place for the kids, as they had a ton of room to play and we really didn't have anything to worry about with our 8 yos. Our 3 yo we had to watch a little more carefully because of the steepness of the hills and the rocks, but that's pretty much it. Bob(the owner) was very communicative and great to work with. No complaints there.Overall, I'd have to say that this place is totally worth it. We have a lot of family in MA, so we'll definitely try to stay here again, next time we visit. Beats being cramped up in a hotel!
