The cottage was just as described and our visit was just like those that had gone before-quiet (except for the loons) and restful. The second day we found out we weren’t very far from restaurants, grocery stores and gas stations so everything we might need was within a reasonable driving distance. Thoroughly enjoyed the peacefulness and lack of traffic noise at the cozy cottage.
Lovely spot. Calm and quiet. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Nice location, clean, owner very accessible Sheets, towels, check out procedure- unreasonable!!!Wash, dry, fold, put away sheets on morning you leave- absurdDishwasher- clean and put away??Can’t use firepit even though it’s not an open fire and it’s in the front yard- not out back by pond.Should supply sheets and towels!!
My wife, six-year old granddaughter, Labrador Retriever, and I thoroughly enjoyed our three-night stay at Smith Pond. The location is beautiful and the cabin was clean and comfortable. We took a rowboat out on the water one afternoon. They also have a kayak that is available. The kitchen had everything we needed and the fire pit was perfect for making s’mores. We highly recommend this cabin.
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!
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
We were happy to find a place close to friends who live in the next town. "Peaceful Waterfront Cottage" was more than that! The minute I opened the door, I knew we were "home." We felt relaxed, loved the view, and enjoyed listening to the loons. This home had more than we would need. When the hosts, Jim and Bernadette, checked in with us, we said we had a question about the TV. They stopped over within minutes and showed their technically challenged guests how to use it! It was lovely meeting them! We hope to return a couple of times next year! Thank you again for sharing your home with us!
This was a very nice property. The pond is on the smaller side so no motor boats are allowed. I brought my kayaks and we saw loons, a nice beaver and great blue herons. It was very peaceful, clean and relaxing. I can't say enough good things about our hosts. Jim, Bernadette, and their two dogs. They were in contact immediately after checking in to make sure everything was perfect. Which it was. Excellent hosts and property. 5 stars.
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!
Bernadette and Jim were fabulous hosts! The property was very cozy with beautiful views of the pond with water activities available. Enjoy peace and quiet in their mountain bungalow!
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.
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!
