Nestled in the small community of Holland, MA, the Gateway to Western MA and only minutes from the Connecticut border and Routes 84 and 90, this cozy little house is the perfect get-away for family fun. You can enjoy fishing, swimming, kayaking and paddle boating, outdoor dining and our fire pit. We welcome you to bring your own boat to tie up to our dock (the boat launch is directly across the lake). Sleeps 5 comfortably (queen, full and bunk beds), and there is a full futon couch in the screened-in sun room, which by the way, includes a dining area and surround view of the lake. Our home also features a mother-in-law apartment with the full bed, a tv room, refrigerator and the 2nd full bathroom with laundry room. We purchased the house in December, 2014, and upgrades included adding the 2nd full bath, washer/dryer, new furnishings, bedding, towels and tableware, plus lots of cosmetic improvements. Our lake house is "new and improved" for the upcoming season!
Nearby Holland Market is perfect for last-minute purchases, and Diane's Villanova and The Traveler restaurant offer delicious food in family-friendly restaurants. Sturbridge is minutes away for rainy day fun or a change of pace: Old Sturbridge Village, a living museum which re-creates life in rural New England during the 1790s through 1830s; fine dining and family dining, shopping, cinemas, antiquing and more.

This is the second time we have stayed here. Our family loves the lake and everyone is friendly. There was a lot of fishing, 4 pound bass was the winner! The guys went golfing and we all tried mini golf. We brought our kayaks but there are some there for you to enjoy! Perfect relaxing meals on porch. It was an all around great vacation!
Really enjoyed our time at this sweet lake house! Cooked on the grill and ate by the water, slept well in comfortable beds, and just had a terrific week.
Thank you!

Lisa, I’m so glad this all worked out well for you! If your daughter opts for UCONN, maybe this will be a future destination for your visits, which we would welcome, since you were great guests! We’d love to have you back again.
Excellent communication from home owner. Beautiful area. Enjoyed sitting on the docks and swimming and boating with family.

About the host

Why they chose this property
When we bought this house, we were from an ocean community in MA, and while we knew we wanted a home on the water, we decided hurricanes, erosion and maintenance were deterrents to buying on the ocean. We began to spend time away on lakes in New York, Vermont and New Hampshire and finally decided we did not want to travel hours to our get-away, so we started looking closer to home. During this journey, we learned a great deal about the importance of being on a healthy lake, and we were enamored with Hamilton Reservoir -- even in the off-season. We love the fact that the lake is fully recreational, year-round. We especially enjoy the Sturbridge, Brimfield area, and most of all, we enjoy being out of the mainstream, yet 10 minutes to fine dining, cinemas, shopping and Old Sturbridge Village for that rainy day. Oh, did I mention that fishing is a family hobby?
What makes this property unique
We enjoy sitting in our 3-season sun room overlooking the lake, as well as the beautiful view from our kitchen and living room. The outdoor, two-tiered patio was a huge draw for us, since this spot is all about outdoor living. The large picnic table is under the sun room, which allows for dining outside in the shade, and the small table for four on the patio is perfectly situated right on the water -- complete with swivel chairs, so you won't miss any of the activity! We also have a lakefront fire pit for evening fun.
