A Beautiful Spot

The cottage is small, but very well appointed, everything you need is there. The view is gorgeous and can be seen from the living room, dining room and best of all the screened porch. We went kayaking and swimming and hung out on the dock and screen porch. It is great that the cove is a no wake zone, and people observed it, so quiet and peaceful.

Nice scenic location but......

Crescent lake is a beautiful small lake far away from the hustle and bustle. We had a fairly rainy week but hey that's 2023 so we made the best. The cove where the property is located is entirely a wake free zone. According to the lake steward who helps out at the boat ramp this is the reason the cove is so choked with vegetation and the remainder of the lake is weed free. A trip around the lake confirmed this. We were unable to launch our jet drive boat for fear of clogging and prop driven vessels in the cove had to stop post vegetation shut down the motors and raise the engines to clean the props and shafts. (so inboard/outboard probably not a good idea either unless you're a diver) Fishing from the dock was difficult due to the growth as well. There was some hardscape going on at a neighboring property that started at 8am and ended about 3pm it's a long-term noisy (tractors, trucks, rock drills) project. Something I should have been made aware of well in advance. The cottage, while well-equipped and having some updates, is very rustic with aging furniture. (the couches have plywood propping up worn springs) The Weber gas grill needs a new burner at a minimum. We would definitely go back to Crescent Lake but would look for a property not in sunset cove.

About the host

Hosted by Beth Freeland

Our family has been on crescent Lake since 1982. My parents built a house then, about 13 years later my husband and I built a house and when the next door cottage became available in 2008, we couldn't resist......

Why they chose this property

We think this might be one of the best properties on the lake. Located in the cove it's quiet since it's a no wake zone of the lake.
But you get fantastic westerly views and beautiful sunsets.
It's just really beautiful and peaceful.

What makes this property unique

Just 2 hours from Boston it's a pretty easy drive. Close to ski mountains in winter and lots of fun activities on the lake in the summer. Screen in porch is a nice place to read and enjoy the view.
