About this property
Great Fall pricing! Magical Views & Peaceful Vibes; private dock, kayaks, firepit, office!
Set in the heart of Connecticut’s beloved lake country, this home offers a 4 season year-round escape where the water is always calling. Spend warm days boating, swimming, and fishing, or simply relaxing by the shoreline. As the seasons shift, the lake becomes just as magical—surrounded by fall colors or turning into a peaceful winter retreat. No matter when you visit, this lakefront getaway invites you to slow down, unwind, and enjoy the timeless charm of life by the water.
Welcome to Lake Zoar's Magical Lakeside Cottage, a peaceful retreat nestled on the shores of Lake Zoar.
A serene retreat where you’ll want to settle in and stay put, surrounded by the calming beauty of the lake.
Make your descent from the street to the cottage, where you are rewarded with a cozy, lakeside oasis perfect for relaxation. Perched just above the water with gorgeous lake views and a constant, calming breeze, this cozy, couples-friendly hideaway is all about unplugging and unwinding. Enjoy multiple outdoor lounging spots, stroll through the grassy yard to the dock for swimming or boating, and let the magic of the lake settle in.
Inside this intimate home you will find everything you need. The main level offers a charming eat-in kitchen, a peaceful bedroom, and a bathroom, all with stunning lake views. A charming, yet narrow spiral staircase adds to the cottage’s cozy charm, but it’s not the easiest to navigate for everyone. (You can avoid it by going out the front door and around to the lower level—just keep in mind that means stepping outside.) The lower level, accessed by a narrow spiral staircase, features a quaint seating area, laundry, and an additional bedroom with a walk-out patio. With its modern amenities and tranquil surroundings, Magical Lakeside Cottage is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of the lake.
Important to Know Before Booking... This peaceful lakeside escape offers stunning views and a tranquil setting, but please be aware that access requires a bit of a workout. There is a 66-step descent (and climb back up) between the parking area and the house. From the house to the yard, there are approximately 50 additional steps. To access the dock, you’ll go down another 22+ steps from the yard. That’s over 130 steps in total, not including any moving around the property.
This home is best suited for guests who are comfortable with stairs and do not have mobility limitations.
If you're up for it, the views and lake access are worth it!

REMINDER: Two important details to be aware of before booking.
1. Steep descent to the property from the road/parking. Once you get to the house and inside you will forget about that part of the journey.
2. Inside the cottage, a narrow spiral staircase connects the two levels. It adds to the cozy charm of the space, but it can be a bit tight and may not be ideal for everyone. Guests can also access the lower level by going outside and using the back entrance if preferred.
3. All pets must be approved.
WORTH NOTING:
Keurig Coffee Machine
