About this property
Big Fish, Little Pond. Fire Pit Swimming, Hiking, Kayaking, and Fishing!
Please inquire about our monthly winter and spring rates! @DiamondHomeCollection on Insta and Meta(facebook) We are Air-BNB super hosts! Come Hike, Swim, Kayak, and Fish at this winter getaway. Our area secluded on a side of a hill under all the tree canopies and is full of life and peace. but all the local mall is 15 minutes away!! This property is not directly on the water and is a 1920s cottage with plenty of imperfections. She’s over a 100 years old now!a Our area is full of life and peace. Wake up to the loons early in the morning and go to bed listening to the owls. Watch the turkeys or the fox cross the yard. Go for a walk out back in the woods or make a day trip and go north for a hike. 45 minutes to the ocean, lakes region, and hiking. Go swimming in the lake, fishing, and kayaking. Warm up at night by the fire This is a wonderful retreat in the middle of nowhere but is everywhere. It is a one minute walk to our private shared beach that hardly anyone uses but in the summer it can be busy..

This was a very clean, quiet and homey stay with easy access to the lake. Our family was able to easily access local attractions but also happily roast marshmallows by the fire at night for a getaway feel! Highly recommend.
When we arrived we were immediately struck by how spotlessly clean the whole cabin was. And there were very thoughtful welcome packs too. The cabin has quaint cottage touches and the surround sounds from the woods were lovely. Very relaxing and comfortable environment. Full-sized washer and dryer came in handy. Don’t miss America’s Stonehenge just up the road.
Would happily stay here again.

Do not recommend
It smells bad, like mildew. Owner gave me a list of reasons for the smell ( property is 100 years old, no foundation, neighbors property ( which is run down and very close. Yes property is also surrounded by neighbors), etc, yes he offered air fresheners and fans etc, but just be aware this place smells like mildew. Bugs- yes they are listed, yes it’s close to water, no it’s not secluded- but be mindful, these bugs listed are not outside- they are INSIDE and lots of them. Yes, owner offered to spray for bugs, but considering we were gone all day and opted to sleep in our vehicle every single night of our stay, it wasn’t even worth it. We didn’t even carry in our luggage, left it in vehicle and carried in what we needed. We just wanted gone. Also be mindful that you are surrounded by neighbors, most houses are ran down, and you will have to haul ( not carry, I mean drive) your boat or kayak to the water. The owner is very good about responding and check in was easy, but I am not complaining about him, I just would not recommend this property. I would not sleep at this property. Cleanliness- we were not happy with- I have pictures. This is the first bad review I have ever given on a property. It was not what we were expecting at all, so just be mindful of these things before booking.
We found the beds and living room with the AC comfortable. Enough room for two couples. We where one so plenty. What you would expect for an older lake front house.
This trip was great leaving nothing out of what was expected. Property owner was amazing and able to assist with any issues that arise. Would for sure stay again when in the area!!!
I needed a last minute place to stay for me and my dog and the hosts were very accommodating. The cottage was clean and nicely furnished. Very quiet and relaxing stay. Restaurants and convenience store close by. Short walk to the water. I have booked the location for another stay.
