A Beautiful Log Cabin In The Woods, On Pontoosuc Lake, Yet Near Everything

Greetings from John at the American House! This is the perfect getaway to destress and relax! This is an original Lincoln Logs home, nestled in two and a half acres of private woodland, with 100 feet of lake frontage. No noisy omotorboats at this end of the lake, just lots of wildlife and an occasional canoe or kayak. A hand crafted canoe is ready for your enjoyment, as well as 3 kayaks. Very private property with almost anything you may need provided down by the water, including an outdoor screen with projector and a dock for launching the canoe and kayaks. Check out the pictures!

Cabin sleeps five, with a queen bed in the master bedroom on main floor, a double log bed and a queen bed in the loft, as well as a twin rollaway in walk in closet. The bathroom is off the spacious den. There is an air conditioner in the master bedroom. Normally the cabin stays quite cool by following a few easy tips. Please help yourselves to the well stocked kitchen and linens. A brand new gas stove is in kitchen. Large TV in the den with lots of movies to watch. Two twelve by twelve foot Canopies right on the water with a stocked fire pit and hammocks nearby. Electricity, WIFI, refrigerator and rain barrel all conveniently located. Large outdoor screen with Bluetooth speaker for viewing movies or concerts also down by the water. New, a private screened gazebo right on the water with a gas firepit 100 ft from the main area (where the tent used to be).

Great place to relax and unwind.

We had lovely stay between Christmas and New Years. The cabin was decorated for the holidays, including personalized Christmas stockings for my three children filled with gifts. My kids are already asking when they can go back! The cabin is set back off the road leaving it very quiet, peaceful and secluded. John was very accommodating and the cabin is equipped with everything you could need for an enjoyable stay!

ultimate tranquility

What a peaceful spot, just what we were looking for! John's home was clean and comfortable. The spot was very private and quiet, though close to everything as others mentioned. The lakeside seating, fire pit and hammocks made it feel like all the good parts of camping, with a comfy bed and home steps away. John generously provided a well-stocked kitchen as well. The canoe on the lake was pure bliss and watching the beavers at dusk was very special. Rest and recharge and go here!!

Beyond expectation - a hidden Gem

I could not be more satisfied with the experience we had during our short stay. It was actually very nice to be more in the quiet Cove vs the main lake area… Paddling via canoe or kayak to the main lake area and swimming off of the island there was quite special.

Wonderful cabin and property

The cabin is large and extremely well stocked inside and out. The property is large and there are many amenities outside near the water. The cabin had everything we needed and it is close to Mount Greylock reserve. I wish we had a few more days to spend there. We would love to visit again. The best VRBO we have ever rented.

This was the second time we stayed in this home because it is so nice and the host is generous and friendly. On a cold rainy day we stayed indoors with a fire and on the nice weather days we spent time by the lake. A perfect combination. We definitely go back.

What a great weekend!! I just wish we could have stayed longer. The cabin is beautiful and had everything I was looking for. Very comfortable accommodations for the 3 of us. We throughly enjoyed being outdoors around the fire pit which was great after a long afternoon on the kayak and canoe. Host was easy to reach with great communication. Overall very happy with our stay and look forward to returning.

Lakeside Paradise

John has created an idyllic, lakeside retreat. The cabin has such a cozy, comfy feel and the family memorabilia makes it even more so. He really thinks of everything with some welcoming touches that create an inviting environment from the moment you step inside. This cabin truly has everything you could need or want to enjoy a peaceful, serene stay. I even found my most favorite childhood read, "The Secret Garden" nestled upon the bookshelves! We enjoyed canoeing, grilling and a nice pondside barbecue and fire. The only thing that could have been better, from the guys' point of view would have been the secret to catching the elusive carp in the lake. Thank you, John for sharing your piece of paradise with us...we can't wait to return!

Peaceful getaway

This is a well loved family property and evidence of their enjoyment of it surrounds you. The location is lovely and we spent mornings and afternoons sitting by the water or kayaking and exploring the wetlands. If you love nature then this is the spot for you. We saw bald eagles, osprey, kingfishers, a least bittern, herons and a common egret.

This space is very special. It offers everything you might need to refuel. Two in our party just sat and looked at the water and wildlife the entire time. Two of us took advantage of the close hiking trail and kayaks. A bald eagle landed on an islet about 50 feet out in the water and just hung there for an hour. After about 20 minutes, I whispered “this is the best thing that has ever happened to us” and everyone just nodded. I want to put future visitors minds at ease about previous comments on the space. John has switched which room is the bedroom and which is the sitting room- so the bathroom is now off the tv/sitting room. No awkward walking past someone sleeping for nighttime ablutions. And he has figured out a very effective cooling system that involves a window AC unit and a series of fans. There was no issue at all with the cabin being hot- even in the loft where two of us slept. We booked ourselves for a week in 2025 for our next girls trip!
