Pre-Season Serenity

Having booked our time here for about a week prior to lake-season start, most days we felt we were utterly alone, surrounded by peace, nature, and privacy in this beautiful space.My husband fished, my daughter kayaked, and I fell in the lake. Great rest and great fun.

Rainy yet wonderful

Wife and I were her for a week getaway from busy life. This was the perfect place! Weather was colder than expected but made for great times snuggled on the couch or spending time in the hot tub. The hiking trail was very nice as well. We had our dog with us and days it did not rain we were able to take the trek and enjoy nature. Dog was very curious of the bee hive being the first one she has seen. Thankfully we did not get close enough for her to get "too curious" lol. Fishing from the dock was even relaxing. Was able to catch a few bass and plenty of bluegil. The area is so quite and peaceful and just what we needed. Thank you for the stay.

Perfect peaceful getaway

We loved our short stay at the cottage! The location is serene. We spent as much time outside as we could, which was easy to do given how many activities were available to us. We loved walking on the trail, taking the kayaks on the water, and lounging in the hammock. The hosts truly thought of everything to make the stay comfortable. We can't wait to come back!

Great Spot!

Pretty location, perfect for a winter weekend getaway. Deer walking in the backyard, pretty view from the hot tub. Nugget ice machine! Original windows, so a tad chilly laying on the couch. Have to get the heater just right and put the fireplace on. But was a great stay!

Christmas on the lake

We have stayed here before and it was a great experience. This year we decided to come and visit family for Christmas. The property is well-kept and has a nice view of the lake. We stayed inside mostly due to the cold weather. The family with my grandkids came over to visit. There are some games and toys for children to play with. We plan to stay here again when we are in the area.

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.
