Many great hiking trails nearby and it's easy access to grocery stores and farmers market. The cottage has plenty of space with 3 bedrooms and a great big porch for outdoor dining. The space is perfect for unwinding - listen to the loons, sit by the outdoor fire pit...beautiful in all seasons!


About the space:

The cottage is a split level. On the main floor is a clean and spacious kitchen that has everything you need for an easy comfortable stay: pots and pans, many cooking utensils, coffee pot, tea kettle, waffle maker, children's dishware, wine glasses, etc. There is a dining table with four chairs and bench for additional seating. We also have a dining table leaf to extended table if needed. For outdoor entertaining and dining, enjoy the large deck with an oversized patio table and grill.

The bright and airy main living room has great views of the pond! There is a smart TV and pull out sofa.

On the main level there is a full bathroom with shower and tub (linens available). The primary bedroom is also on the main level and has a comfortable queen bed with organic cotton linens and large closet.

The basement level has a second living room with a futon (full size mattress). Enjoy board games or puzzles on the large coffee table. There is easy access from the walkout basement to a patio and the pond. Great for coming into the house after enjoying the outdoors!

Two additional bedrooms are on the basement level. The second bedroom has a queen size bed with cotton linens. There is no closet in this bedroom, but there is a garment rack as well as a dresser. Please note that the closet in this bedroom is a utility closet that houses the hot water heater and water pump.

The third bedroom on the basement level is perfect for adults or kids. It has two twin beds, large closet, and dresser.

There is a washer and dryer also in the basement (laundry detergent provided).

The camp comfortably sleeps 6, but can accommodate up to 8 with the futon and pull out sofa.

Outside guests can enjoy the spacious yard, expansive deck, small swing set for kids, and outdoor fire pit. We currently have 2 kayaks, 2 canoes, one stand-up paddle board, and one pedal boat for you to use.

Dexter Pond is a hidden gem with minimal boat traffic. The fishing is great and the water is calm making it ideal for kayaking and paddle boarding. Water levels of the pond vary, but it tends to be shallow with some vegetation directly in front of camp. Once out on the pond, the water is nice and clear for swimming!

Other things to note:

The cottage is not a party-rental. It's a perfect place to unwind, reconnect, and enjoy the outdoors. We ask that renters are respectful of this for us and our neighbors.

The cottage is on a well-maintained dirt road. Guests are asked to drive slow. There is a small narrow bridge that you must cross to get to the home. It is completely safe and rest assured that large trucks cross it.

Both indoor fireplaces are non-functional.

Because the cottage is a split level, please be aware that it may not be suitable for families with babies. There is a stairway inside from the main level to basement as well as a large deck on the second level of the home.

Access to the pond is down a sloped hill - not suitable for guests with mobility issues.

Quiet lakefront home with private dock, SUP, kayaks, and fire-pit! offers its guests barbecue grills and a garden. The front desk is open around the clock.

This Winthrop cottage is smoke free.
