Great property and hosts

Charming, cozy, and clean cottage perched on the shores of Smith Pond. Excellent accommodations in a stunningly beautiful and peaceful location. The Allens were kind enough to allow us to invite our family of 8 adults and 2 children and 1 dog to share the day with us at the cottage. We had a terrific, fun family day enjoying this wonderful property!

Great weekend get away

We loved our stay at the cottage, and although the weather wasn’t very cooperative, we had a lovely time playing board games and watching movies. There’s plenty of great options for going on walks and hikes. The cottage itself is lovely and there are so many opportunities to disconnect and enjoy nature and good company

Perfect family vacation

My family had a wonderful 4 day stay here! The house was very clean, and kitchen stocked with all of the supplies you will need! The view of the lake is amazing, and having water access steps from the door was perfect! It’s a great location for the pups too! Our dog had the best time swimming and lounging by the lake. Definitely recommend this property!

Fantastic

The property was everything I had hope it would be. It was warm and cozy fory October stay. The livingroom gave me the sense that I was on the pond. Bernadette responded quickly to any questions that I had. I hope to return next year.

Peaceful and relaxing

We just relaxed and brought our dog{Cinder} with us. The three of us ventured out to several towns and enjoyed going and walking Cinder down the streets of Concord. What a beautiful city! Had some wonderful meals. And meet some very friendly people. At the cottage we read, a little TV, some walks. Hope to come up sometime when the weather is warmer to enjoy the lake!

Breathtaking water view!

This cottage was clean, welcoming and it has a beautiful full view of the water! Everything you would need is there. Full kitchen, spices, water for drinking. We absolutely loved our stay here. Our son and his wife just moved here and we drove from WI to spend time with them. We even got to bring our dog along! Thank you Bernadette for sharing your peace of paradise with us! WI to visit.

Pond Front Cottage

The property has beautiful views of the pond and forest. The water is right outside the door with plenty of floats and boats to use. Nice fire pit in the front where we spent a lot of time simply relaxing. When you head inside you can chill out and watch tv or play games. Stayed for a week and had a great time!

Wonderful cabin on secluded pond

We had a wonderful stay at the Allan cabin! It was even better than expected. It is very accurately portrayed in the listing, and was even more secluded/peaceful than we anticipated. It was such a peaceful, beautiful place. The cabin was very well equipped and there were many amenities. It was so fun to hear the loons at night. We had a great time in the pond (our dog loved it) and hope to come back one day.

Great Lake house

We needed a break from the pace of life and this was the perfect fit. Great view and access to water, kayak and tubing. Bonus we could bring the dog. Limited cell service was a huge plus. House was wonderful with an amazingly stocked kitchen to cook. We had a great time. I would stay here again.
