Clean and quiet on a nice little lake
Clean cottage with great lake views. It was a little colder than we anticipated, but we still tried to get out and enjoy the property as much as possible. The nature trails were nice for a little walk.

Such a relaxing stay!!!
We had a fabulous time! Between walking the property, kayaking, sitting by a fire at night and chilling in the hot tub, I can’t pick which we enjoyed the most because they were all wonderful!!! If it had been a little warmer we would have also made great use of the screened in porch. We found that even though Manchester is small, it has some great places like the market, the distillery and the diner. The diner had amazing breakfast!! We also really enjoyed the indoor space. The views of the lake from the bedroom were awesome. And sitting by the indoor fire was also very nice. Would definitely stay again!!!!

Thanksgiving getaway with friends
Our party of 7 (4 adults and 3 kids) stayed over the Thanksgiving holiday. We have had this tradition of meeting up for the last decade. The house had ample space for us all. We enjoyed fires outside and relaxing in the hot tub at night. It was too cold during our stay to enjoy playing on the lake but we enjoyed looking at it. The view with the sun rising in the morning was gorgeous. With the cold air we really appreciated the heater in the corner. It was amazing. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. We all want to buy a counter top ice maker now. We enjoyed walking the trails behind the house.

Girl's weekend
The cottage was the perfect place for our girl's weekend. We took advantage of the beautiful weather to kayak, have a bonfire and enjoy the hot tub. The cottage was clean, comfortable, fully stocked and close enough for DoorDash to deliver. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Lake Sweezey and would definitely return.

Perfect weekend for R&R
We loved the cottage. It was clean and had everything we could possibly need. The cookies were a nice touch. The view is unbelievable and the swans came by multiple times. We even took the paddle boat out on the water with our girls. They loved the big yard and the swing. There was plenty to do for both the kids and adults. We had a couple fires, grilled yummy steaks, enjoyed the hot tub and made s’mores. The house is comfortable and clean. Thank you for sharing your home with us. We hope to come back in the summer next year to really enjoy the lake and trails.

This is super clean and updated. I loved the screened in porch, hot tub, walking the trails in the morning, kayaking and using the paddle boat everyday. I even tried the paddle board since I never tried before! I saw so many deer. This is definitely a nice spot!

Peaceful oasis
Our stay at this cottage was beyond expectations. There was plenty of room inside and I liked the way the hallway to the bedroom side of the house was separated by a door, great when kids go to bed early. The bunk beds are huge, must be full size so even adults are comfortable. So thankful for the air conditions on the humid day we had. The outdoor space was big and very private. We enjoyed the paddle boat and paddle boards and just sitting on the dock. Our labrador retrievers enjoyed the lake and the screened patio was perfect for them to dry off. We loved the solo stove and fire pit…so great that wood was right there for us to use. The owners really went above and beyond with fresh flowers on the table, dog biscuits, beach towels, roasting sticks, even a pooper scooper if you bring your dog. We highly recommend!

Upon arrival, flowers and cookies were left for us. Family had access to wifi, paddleboat, paddleboards, & firepits. Fully equipped screened porch for the rainy times. Everything was super clean. Neighbors were super friendly and inviting (even offered a boat ride). Easy check in & check out. Kids said they would like us to book this one again.

Peaceful little spot
My family and i (including an almost 3 year old & 1 year old) stayed here for a couple nights. We wanted to take a short visit somewhere close to home. This was a beautiful location right on a lake & quiet surrounding area. We stayed on the property the whole stay- as it had a grill, kitchen with all the basic cooking supplies, jacuzzi, paddleboat and kayaks to go on the lake. Our family had a blessed time & i would return. The owner was very helpful always with questions we had. Thank you!

Fun For All ages
As advertised! Great lake views! A large window in the living area looks out over the lake. The home is well-kept and updated. The property was very large with plenty of "lake toys" for all ages. We were there visiting our son and his family who have a house there on the lake. One day they were visiting and it began raining. We were pleasantly surprised to find puzzles, blocks, toy cars, coloring books, and a toy train in a wooden dresser in the living area. This kept our young granddaughters busy until the weather cleared up. Dan, the property owner has put together a fun for all ages stay. We plan to stay again!

Ideal Getaway
I rented this lakefront home for a family gathering. The setting is beautiful, private and peaceful. The home is perfect…updated, clean, comfortable beds, good sheets, laundry, grill, hot tub and everything else you may need. The kayaks, paddle boards and paddleboat provided hours of entertainment for kids and teens. Great memories were made. Of the hundreds of homes I have rented, this property in my top ten. Thank you for sharing it.

We absolutely loved this place! It had everything you needed. It was very private, only a neighbor to the side. We enjoyed the paddleboat and canoe that were provided. They also have two kayaks, two paddle boards and two nice bikes. We fished and got some bass. We and our dogs loved the trail that goes out back behind the house. This is a true gem and we will be back again! Loved that they had fresh cut flowers and yummy cookies waiting for us. Love, love, love it!

Nice home on a beautiful lakefront lot that had everything we needed and then some. There was wood stacked and ready in the fire pits, fresh flowers and cookies in the kitchen, and a jar of treats for our dog. We enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boat, and had fun by the fire watching the bats — who kept the yard free from bugs! The host was very responsive. We would stay here again!
