Cottage Comfort
This property was well equipped and comfortable. The owners Brenda and Bob and their dog Harry met us upon arrival and explained a few things about the boat motor that we'd rented etc. The beach while a about 500' from the cottage but still within the cottage area (no roads or other properties to cross), was truly sandy and good for swimming. The deck was well kept and very pleasant and great for playing cards, eating and talking. The cottage actually seemed a little bigger than it looked in the pictures. We really enjoyed our stay there.

Fantastic Family Vacation
We had the pleasure of staying at the Beach Bum cottage. As soon as we walked in, we instantly fell in love with the character, cleanliness and how everything was neat and well organized. Our kids loved it and having close access to the beach made our stay easy and relaxing. Bob and Brenda and their dog Harry were very welcoming and made our stay very enjoyable. Wonderful people. We can’t wait to go back next summer.

Best two week vacation
We loved staying with Brenda and Bob for two weeks. Our two year old son had a great time playing on the beach, trampoline and with the other toys at the property. We really enjoyed spending time with the other families staying at the property. The sunsets were amazing from the deck of the cliffpoint cottage. We enjoyed eating dinner on the deck. The cottage was very clean and everything was in good working order and had everything you could need. We hope to visit again soon!

About the host

Hosted by Brenda Stinson

Host profile image
The Stinson family has lived in the area for over 150 years. The Stinson family farm is located in Tamworth just 20 minutes south of the cottages. The property was purchased in 2001 from Larry Denny who had purchased the property from the original owners. He had used as rental properties but was getting tired of the maintenance. When the Stinson's purchased for their family to use as a gathering place for the ever growing family. The Stinson's still enjoy the cottage throughout the summer but found that it was not getting used all summer so decided to rent out.

Why they chose this property

It is a beautiful cottage on a quiet lake that is one of my favorite places on earth. The air is clear the water is warm. You fall asleep to the sound of bullfrogs and crickets while watching the fireflies. It's a pretty special place that we enjoy immensely and think you will too.

What makes this property unique

The tire swing on the old oak, the adirondack chairs on the beach, the fire pit next to the water, the hammock under the cedar the warm water or the star gazing from the swimming platform the Stinson cottages will provide you with every aspect of the perfect summer getaway.
