Private, newly renovated lakefront cottage on 10+ acres of land.

Enjoy the good life on beautiful and quiet Sweezey Lake. Lots of outdoor space with private walking trails and abundant wildlife. Newly renovated interior with great lake views. Enjoy cool lake breezes on the screened-in porch or the hot tub and fire pit on a cool night. Get on the water (except during the winter) with a private dock, kayaks, paddle boards, canoe, and paddle boat. Lots of other great amenities - gas fireplace, RV water and electric hookup (please coordinate with owner in advance if you intend to bring RV), tent platform, porch TV, EV charger, and bikes.

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!

Awesome property, great small sports lake. Dan was an awesome host, theres more than enough to enjoy between the acreage and the included water amenities. I have family in the area and this was a great spot to call home for the week.

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.

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!

The property was exactly as pictured and described, and the owner was readily available and easy to communicate with. We were allowed to check in early and the property was great for our extended family egg hunt! Will definitely come back!

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.

Very Clean and spacious home with great waterfront and property. We caught a bunch of fish right off the fock. Was with my somewhat disabled father. He was able to get down to the water with little trouble. Would be a great stay for families. Had everything we needed. Great stay!

The house and amenities are exactly as listed. The place was very clean and the kitchen was well supplied with all the needed utensils. My group loves to cook and we had great time. Very nice property at the end of dead end road which made it private and peaceful.

This house was stunning, we loved every bit of our stay!! They have everything you can think of, plus more!! The screened in porch was definitely our favorite! We went during the middle of a storm and who else can say that they were able to eat dinner, watching tv in the down pour rain! We 100% will be back, thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home!

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!

This was our second summer staying at this place on Sweezey Lake and it was just a good as last year. The house has everything you need to feel at home and enjoy your stay. They have comfortable bedding, towels for indoor and outdoors, life jackets, hot water, everything is clean, fire wood if you want to make a fire. There is no beach for swimming, but you can ride in one of the water toys and go to the sandbar to swim. We will be back!!

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!!!!

Dan has thought of everything! We really enjoyed our stay. Flowers and cookies were a nice greeting, beds are comfortable, plenty of towels for everyone. Newer life jackets of various sizes and all the things they show in the pictures. We loved watching the hummingbirds come to the feeder. We will be back!

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.
