Nice place, right on the lake. Lots of room to stretch out. The kitchen was well equipped. We tried to fish off the dock for a while but the fish weren't biting. We had fun trying. It was too cold to try the boats but it was very nice that they were available. The view from the living room was wonderful.

We loved the house and the views and lake are amazing! Only thing that wasn’t great the yard was full of dog poop from the previous renters so I had to spend time picking up someone else’s dog poop.

Quiet and relaxing view. Spotless!
6 / 10Average·Jun 2026
Spent a weekend in early June 2026 at the Duncan Lake Cottage. First impression - it is definitely a single family (or VERY close friends) rental with only 1 bathroom - but that if fully disclosed.Pros- Beautiful, quiet lakefront home Reasonably priced. Close to Groceries and restuarants. Well-stocked kitchen, utensils, cooking supplies. Pet Friendly Cons - No communication with host once we checked in (Disclosure: They switched property managers the week of our stay). There was no soap in the bathroom, and our request via the check-in instruction contact #s went unanswered all weekend. For being a lake house - the outside could have been prepped better. Deck and patio furniture and kayaks could have been hosed off given all the pollen. Grass could have been cut. Quite a few ants and other bugs in the kitchen and living room. Common to the NE this time of year, but again, could use a spraying.Overall - not great, not bad. Definitely a good value for a small quiet getaway. Hopefully the communication gets resolved.
