The house was as described. Quiet neighborhood. Ample parking space. A beautiful view of the lake. A nice TV - we could connect a chromecast and enjoy a movie. Good wifi connectivity. A 5 minute drive from the town - be it coffee(Dunkin Donuts) or a bar or food. Everything was close by. Not too far away from Newport or Providence. I'd recommend this place if you're looking for a peaceful getaway.

I cant thank Dorothy enough. She was kind enough to host my basketball team over the weekend at her beautiful lake house. The view was amazing and the house was even bigger than we expected. We only had 8 people in the house but could have fit 20-25 easily! This house is more than worth the cost. Wish it was warmer and that we were able to spend more leisure time at the house because of how great the house was. This is a perfect place for large groups. It was more of a business trip for my group but i would definitely come back and spend a vacation at this lake house.

The house was a good place for a family gathering. The beach area and dock worked well for our grandchildren. We brought 2 kayaks and enjoyed using them on the lake, as did the kids. The house itself was a bit disappointing - although plenty large, the beds were mostly very uncomfortable (especially the double upstairs and the "king" downstairs) and there was a fair amount of deferred maintenance.

My girlfriends and I had a great time at this house! It's really spacious, and the lake and dock are beautiful. We made full use of the grill and the rest of the kitchen amenities, and everyone had a comfortable place to sleep. I would definitely rent this place again. A few minor issues- the basement area smells a bit mildewy, and there were a lot of tiny gnats (or something) that would get into the house at night - they were small enough to fit through the window screens. Both common problems when owning a lake house, I'm sure! I recommend that anyone staying here keeps the bedroom lights OFF as soon as it gets dark so that the bugs aren't attracted in.

We had a great time! Beautiful house and view! Only wish was that there was a bathroom on bottom floor. Besides that house was great!

Communication with Dorothy was seamless; the house met all of our expectations. As a bike team that travels, its great to return to an accommodating location after racing in the cold and rain. Dorothy was very responsive in returning a call in order to help us out on Saturday evening. I would recommend this property as a place to stay for large groups!

This house was everything we could of asked for and so much more. Me and my group knew that this could fit 10 easily so we booked it for a quiet relaxing weekend. Most of us arrived later on in the day. The layout took a bit getting used to but we quickly became accustomed to it. Anything that needed explaining or needed to be marked was (how to lock the patio, fan switch, garbage disposal switch, etc. etc). The recycling bin was clearly marked as well as the trash both inside and out. I am so glad we chose this place to rent to unwind. Great host, great house, great community.

This waterfront beach house is in a great location on a body of water which is really clean and great for swimming and water sports! This house has tons of space and everything you might need for a lakehouse getaway. Dorothy was very sweet to work with and called back within a day anytime we had questions prior to our stay. I rated this place a 3/5 stars based on a few downfalls. The property was pretty poorly maintained, and although the linens were clean, the place was full of cobwebs and spiders, the basement was musty from being too damp (dehumidifier had overflowed onto the floor), many of the dishes/grill was dirty and the coffee pot was half full of old coffee with mold floating in it. This place also does not have air conditioning and can be very warm in the summer months just as an FYI.

Our second time staying here. Very nice location and a great house.

Two of us stayed in this sweet house for 3 nights so that we could attend the Brimfield Antique Show nearby. The location was only about 10 minutes away and in a beautiful, wooded area across the street from a pond-lovely. Sunrise and sunset was beautiful from Ladidas' front window or front bedroom. Ladidas is a thoughtful communicator. And it was great to have AC in the bedroom in which we stayed, as a couple nights were humid.

Lovely host and lovely home. We had a really nice week in this house. We had friends stay with us and it was a nice, quiet place to relax and unwind, even with our young children! Lots of quiet roads to run on, beautiful pond across the road. An hour to Boston, an hour to Western Mass. We would stay there again for sure.

Mooi huis met veel ruimte. De omgeving is prachtig! We hebben hier ( twee volwassénen en een kind) met veel plezier een maand gewoond.

This place was great! It had everything we needed and then some (FireTV Stick). Ladidas gave us all the information we needed the day of our stay, which was provided before we even had to each out to her. I would highly recommend this listing.

Quiet, rustic location, well presented with plenty of room for larger family gatherings. Essentially well furnished. Pond across road was beautiful and adds to the feel of being out in the country. Great value however the house is located outside of Sturbridge so shopping is a good 20 minutes away. Only the master bedroom has a window air conditioner.

Ladidas has a very lovely home. Everything was provided from dinnerware to cookware to towels and linens. The place is clean (especially the bathrooms) and comfortable. The Wi-Fi is fast, which is a plus and much better than most hotels. It seems like a very small town, with not much to do, which can be a drawback. Ladidas responded within a few hours to any questions and concerns that I had, which was great. If you are staying in the summer time, then you should know that not all the rooms have air conditioning. Overall, I would recommend staying here to anyone interested.

If local (an hour or so away) like myself and my special friend were, I would ask to come and see the place first

My husband and I had a very relaxing visit to Sturbridge thanks to Michael and his wonderful house. The lake was so peaceful, and provided almost all of our entertainment for our stay. We even had a great blue heron visit. Watching the birds, the sunrise, and the fish was lovely from the balcony, hammock, bedroom, or dock. I would love to come back again. The house was just great.

In a few words, a perfect stay. This location, Michael and Sheila's hospitality, and the beautiful house (that pictures don't do justice to) have validated my need to someday own a lake house of my own. The amenities are perfect, with everything we needed for meals, daily activities, and cleaning. I can't get used to being back after such a lovely week stay. On a final note, that lake water is the cleanest and warmest lake I could've asked for. Perfect.

This is the perfect summer vacation spot! I came here for a long weekend with a group of 8 (which the house easily accommodates) and we all had an incredible time. First off, Michael and Sheila are the friendliest, most communicative hosts. From the very beginning, they sent us detailed directions to the house, pointed us towards the cheapest gas, groceries, etc. in the neighborhood, and made us feel very welcome. They were easy to reach by phone for any questions, and live nearby so were always able to swing by the lakehouse in just minutes when we needed them to. The house itself is clean, cozy, and feels like home away from home. Amenities include a full kitchen (we cooked every day and night), a grill, a fire pit, and a big deck that is perfect for relaxing on. The view of the lake is so picturesque, and the lake itself is very clean and perfect for both swimming and fishing. This was a wonderful place to unwind. I can't wait to come back!

Michael is a great host. He has a beautiful place highly recommend it!

This lake house is just what was needed. With no digital distractions my family was able to unplug and reconnect with each other. House was beautiful, back deck was breathtaking. Cell reception was actually really good, we would hotspot our phone to allow the kids to pick one movie to watch at night on our iPad. Still nothing like waking up and eating breakfast on the deck. Michael was an excellent host. We called and he told us how to get to the closest stores. All and all a perfect getaway.

Excellent stay! A wonderful way to truly unplug! Michael was a superb host, incredibly easy to communicate with, very kind, super gracious, and more than accommodating. The property itself was clean, comfortable, & well stocked with everything you need for a week (or weekend away). The lake/pond was very pretty, calm, clean and quiet. We'd love to stay here again in future.

Let me begin by saying that Michael and his wife Sheila were awesome hosts. They were attentive and communicative every step of the way, from making sure we knew where the cheapest gas and food/beverage stores are, to careful directions on how to get to their idyllic lake house. I rented the home with 6 friends, and we couldn't have had a better time. The house was right on the beautiful and clean lake. We had a fabulous view of it and caught quite a few fish (which we cleaned and grilled for dinner!). There's a wonderful fire pit that was easy to build at night and plenty of board games to keep us entertained. The house easily sleeps 8 people. Everything was great. I would love to come back.

Michael is a very god host, he is available at all times and respond very fast. The house and the location are amazing, right on the water it's a perfect place to go with kids or friends.

Super cute lake and beautiful views. Would love to come back when it's warmer! Great hosts! Very welcoming! Thank you :)

We had a wonderful time in this house. It is fully equipped with everything you would need. I would definitely recommend.

We ended up having to book last minute, and James went out of his way to arrange a cleaning person to come in on short notice for us. The home was beautiful, very clean, and came with all the necessary things we needed for our stay. Being directly on the lake was wonderful and we took advantage of the kayaks and paddle boat on the property. James made our fist use of Airbnb a great one.

We had a great New Year's Eve getaway at James' house! We booked very last minute and James was extremely responsive and accommodating, both before and during our stay. The house has everything you'd need, plus a cozy fireplace! It would be a great place for the summer too, with a dock overlooking the lake. The house was even nicer in person than in the photos - the open plan isn't as apparent in the photos, but the downstairs is a large space, with giant sliding doors that also look out at the lake. We had a great stay, and would love to return!

What a lovely home! Jim made sure to walk us through the house and that he was available for any questions. The view was beautiful and the house was very clean. He was even kind enough to bring a bottle of prosecco for my fiancé and I. Thank you so much, Jim!

Although we are not big tv fans,we did try to watch some olympics and the remote was incomprehensible. The cable provider helped us once but was unable to the 2nd time. The only other complaint was the lack of a potato peeler. But the house was fabulous, the location was great, the lake fun, the neighborhood quiet and well situated. The host left very complete and detailed instructions that made us feel welcome and happy. Go, James! We will recommend it in a heart beat. And we may return soon. A great value. The per night cost was very, very fair.

The house was perfect! It has a great living space and great views. Everyone who stayed loved the "lake house living!" The house has really updated finishes but feels very inviting. The pictures don't do it justice. James was in great communication. We are so glad we found this place and are hoping to visit again.

Great house. Awesome setup. Easy in and out!

We were welcomed by Jim. He showed us around and made us feel very welcome. Answered all our question. His home is beautiful with everything you could possible need. The view out back was a little piece of heaven. With beautiful decks to sit out on. We ate all our meals out there. If your not an out door person the view from the couch is amazing. As you walk in the open floor plan is gorgeous and these sledding doors out to the deck and lake. Two of the bedrooms also had decks and view of the lake. We did yoga out there in the mornings. Lots of room. The neighborhood was very quiet but the people we met were very friendly. We spent most of our time on the pond ( lake) it was very fun. Jim let us use his kayaks and my kids loved the paddle boat. We love to watch wild life and were not disappoint. Bird watching was wonderful. The chipmunks and squirals were everywhere and fun to watch. Painted turtles popped up all over the pond. My son found baby turtles. We even saw frogs, a momma deer and her fawn. It was perfect for our family. So if you love to be outside or just need time to relaxe this is a wonderful place to do it. Ow and it was very easy to clean up. Everything is new with no clutter. Beautifully decorated. We hated to leave. Id have to say it was one of the best places Iv stayed. Thank you so much Jim...

The neighborhood is great, very near the lake and lots of places to eat. There was WIFI and cable TV. The host had cookies waiting for us when we arrived, she brought breakfast each morning and had snacks waiting when we returned. We had a very nice stay. Thank you Sue.

Susan is a wonderful host. The bed is so comfortable and the space is clean. She is extremely available and flexible but I also had complete privacy.

Susan was a wonderful hostess. I stayed at the house for three nights for a rowing regatta in Worcester. The space is basically the upstairs addition to her home. It was new and very clean and had all of the amenities I could have hoped for. And it was only a stones throw from the water views in the pictures. Susan was very accommodating of my schedule, which I really appreciated. And she made every effort to ensure I had a wonderful stay (which I certainly did). Webster is a very nice area, and I am really glad I found this place.

Excellent host, gave us privacy as well as a nice breakfast spread each morning. Very welcoming and warm! The stay was lovely, bed was comfortable and had plenty of space to move around. Loved it!

My stay at Susan's was very comfortable. Definitely recommended!

Susan's upstairs apartment was very spacious and comfortable with a large kitchen, sitting room, bedroom and bathroom. She provided a lovely breakfast and left snacks for me, which I did not expect.

Susan was great to accommodate us at the last minute. She went overboard with home baked cookies and a continental breakfast and was very welcoming.

Susan's place is fantastic. It's even more spacious and comfortable than the photos appear. Susan was very responsive and went out of her way to make us feel welcome. We would love to stay with her again.

Catherine's place would be great place to relax or if you are into casual kayaking/water sports because the place is located next to a lake and a place (Lakeview Marine) that rents kayak/paddle from mid-May to October. It has a private bathroom too. Great value.

Very accommodating, clean, and comfortable. Catherine had the room ready for my son and I once we arrived and gave us a warm welcome. I would definitely stay there again in the future.

I highly recommend this Air bnb. The host is very accommodating and friendly. It feels like you have your own hotel room and is actually better than some hotels I've stayed at. The bed is huge, comfortable, and has any kind of pillow you want. The carpet is soft and welcoming, towels the softest you'll ever feel, and the room has anything you could need: soap, shampoo, silverware, microwave, cups, plates, menus for local delivery, ceiling fan, etc; the list goes on.
