We loved our stay on Lovell Lake! Such a beautiful screened porch and dock that isn't quite captured in the photos!! The cabin is a rustic camp but has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Plenty of beds & space for 2 families (4 adults, 5 kids, 1 dog!) We especially enjoyed the canoes, outdoor shower and stunning sunset views. The cabin would be next level with some TLC like basic upgrades to screens, kitchen organization, & some safety updates. David was helpful, responsive, and kind! We would absolutely stay again. Thank you!!

We had a wonderful stay at Lovell Lake and would absolutely return. The camp has one of the best views on the lake, with breathtaking sunsets every evening. One of our favorite moments was sitting on the screened porch in the morning, listening to the loons—it was truly magical.The lake itself is beautiful, with crystal-clear water and a sandy bottom. Fishing was fantastic; it seemed like every cast brought in a fish! This is an ideal spot for families with children and pets, offering plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors and the water.The only thing I would note is that the property description could be a little clearer about the terrain. The yard slopes toward the lake and has exposed rocks and tree roots, and some guests may find access to the water challenging. It wasn't an issue for us, but someone with mobility limitations, such as an older family member, might have difficulty navigating the yard or getting into the lake.David was a great host. He was friendly, responsive, and easy to reach whenever we had a question. His communication was excellent from start to finish, and he made us feel welcome throughout our stay.

Awesome spot, even better location

This lake house is awesome. The home itself is rustic and without many updates, but who cares with views and outdoor space like this! The yard, grill, fire pit and dock are fantastic. The house - kitchen, bedrooms, bathroom - have everything you need. Everything was easy and comfortable for our group.

Lakeside retreat

David’s property was the perfect getaway for some last minute summer fun and family relaxation! Although the weather wasn’t great, the rustic, cozy setting was very enjoyable. Card games, relaxing at the fire pit and canoeing between rain showers…my teens loved it! Being dog friendly made it even better! Taz enjoyed being a lake dog for the first time, and playing with neighboring dogs! David was very personable!

We named it dragon fly island! Many around. The lake was beautiful as the sunsets!

At first I thought it wasn't what i thought, then it became our wonderful weekend making memories! The yard was tough with stumps and rocks, but we figured that out, I would go back! Thanks David

Great Restful Spot

The place is as advertised, quaint, rustic, on a beautiful, private spot on a gorgeous lake. Mountain views and a morning paddle with my daughter brought us an incredible loon escort...complete with their magical call. They followed us for 15 mins or so as we were the only folks on the lake. The camp itself was nice, we had some "first folks" of the summer issues in the cottage, but David was easy to communicate with and very quick to address them. We would visit again!

Perfect lake house retreat!

I had a wonderful stay at this charming lake house! It has everything you could need for a relaxing vacation - a fire pit, hammock, grill, and a lovely back porch where you can sit and listen to the loons at night. I had some friends and family come for a few days, and the kids absolutely loved swimming and fishing off the dock. My dog was on cloud 9, being outside and jumping in the lake any moment he got. Some of the reviews mention the house needing some work, but I found it to be perfect. It’s everything I expected, would definitely return!

Needs some TLC and not as advertised

I was disappointed when we pulled up as the 200 feet of sandy beach front did not exist. I discussed with the owner several times and was assured there was a sandy beach there. The area to get to the water is treacherous and was no sand to put a beach chair on. There were chunks of rodent poison left out in the open that my dog ate. Luckily we were able to induce vomiting and he was okay. But how is this pet and child friendly. Also there was a too away bed that was infested with rodent poop and had to be thrown in the dumpster as I alerted the owner. There are still holes in the screen on the porch that were mentioned in 2023 that I assumed would be fixed by now but we’re not letting all the bugs into the house. there was

Not bad but needs a little TLC

It was good but the place does need a little work. Back porch door knob was a bit of a struggle. The Bathroom door needs to be planed, so it'll close properly. Cold water runs a bit slow in bathroom. Shade torn in bath, we hung a towel over it for privacy. We had a little run in with some carpenter ants. The walk down to the dock is a bit tricky for the older and very young, with all the tree roots and rocks. All & all there is a nice sandy bottom and gradual drop off on a quiet section of the lake. The stay wasn't too bad and the owner was receptive but the place could use a little TLC.

Great time.

Ten of my family and two dogs. The camp was charming, like a step back in time which was awesome, with everything in working order and clean. The bunk room was way more comfortable than the pictures give credit for. The enclosed porch is an extension of the house which was needed to accommodate our crew. Pristine spot with sandy bottom swimming area and unbelievable sunsets. Dave was friendly and helpful with any questions we had and helped us out with renting a jet ski. The only thing that could be improved on is the terrain to the water. Lots of tree roots on the land to maneuver. Will definitely rent again when the opportunity arises. Thanks again Dave.

Rustic Home on Lake Lovell

We enjoyed our weeks stay on beautful and pristing Lake Lovell. The owner David who lives close to property was very responsive to any needs that arose. We lost power the first night due to winds, and he kept us updated and power was restored within 3 hours on a Saturday night!!! We rented a pontoon boat for the week from Parker Boats. Having a boat allowed us to enjoy this beautiful lake at our leisure. Our sons were able to fish from the boat and dock and were very successful. There are restauranits and a village market nearby that has all your amenities. The view of Lake from the porch is great and the sunsets were breath taking! Thank you for sharing your cabin with us, we hope to be able to return in the future. The Flynn Family, Sussex, NJ.

Love Lovell Lake

We came to check out Lovell Lake as a possibility for a place to retire. We absolutely love the lake and the surrounding area! David was a wonderful host- he was very responsive with our requests. The house is very rustic, maybe a bit more rustic than we thought it was going to be (it could use some fresh paint, deep cleaning and repaired screens throughout) My kids (ages 19-26) loved the attic bedroom (they called it the orphanage) and I thought they would hate it!

Ultimate in relaxation

Each morning we woke to the sound of the loons. The lake is pristine and the property was perfect. Relax on the dock or in the front room and watch the sunset. After dark the bats come out on the lake, watch Venus on the horizon and have a contest to see who can find the first star. Take a walk up the road at dusk and enjoy the firefly show. David was a perfect host. The addition of a charcoal bbq along with the gas allowed us to cook for guests. The splash pad and canoes wrapped up a perfect week. Why try another place when this one is perfect.

Lovely get away!

We had such a a great time at this house! This house had something for everyone, my kids loved being outside, my mother loved reading all the antique books, my dad spent all the time on the dock fishing and my husband and I enjoyed the canoe and walks. The cold weather in late May made swimming a bust but we were able to canoe and fish almost every day between the rain fall. David came and set up the heat, made sure we had everything we needed and even provided us with bait to fish. We had a few questions here and there and David was super responsive. The back patio was where we chose to dine and on the rainiest day we had hot chocolate and watched the rain. We loved the quaint feel of it all, would definitely return!

Great rustic lakeside cabin

Upon arrival the setup and views were everything we were hoping for and the trees that outline the private road make it feel that much more beautiful. We kayaked the lake most of the time and our dogs loved having immediate access to the water. We were very happy with the setup and how beautiful the sunsets and sunrises were. There was a downside to having our dogs with us as we had to constantly navigate outings with other unleashed dogs. i wouldn’t choose this location if you do not like dogs and or have a dog who doesn’t care for other dogs. The owner David was friendly, personable, and very responsive. Like other reviewers have said the cabin could use a deep cleaning but it offers everything you really need for a lakeside camp experience. The beds were comfortable and we slept well having a nice lakeside breeze at night. The fireplace inside the cabin is beautiful and burns wood very cleanly which is an extra bonus for those chilly nights. We would stay here again with the consideration that dogs remained leashed and or kept to their property while we are outside with our dogs. My 13 year old senior dog was stressed with multiple dogs running around. We also just seemed to have stayed during a bad week. We had to let the propane company in while they changed out the tanks and did some work. On our third and last night there, we got hit with a storm which left us without power for 3 hrs which meant no showering and going out to eat. We did ask to stay an extra day as we felt we lost out on most of our night but unfortunately the cleaning lady couldn’t change her schedule. Unfortunate circumstances but we still made the best of it.

Beautiful Relaxing Lakefront Property

From the moment we arrived and met David the property owner, we knew it was the perfect spot! David was extremely friendly and down to earth, told us he lived right up the road and if we needed anything just to let him know! The location itself was great right on the lake, a great rustic cabin that slept 8 people easily. All the cooking utensils you needed and a grill right on the lake! As we all left and checked out, we all agreed we would be back again! Thanks David
