Peaceful and relaxing cottage steps from Forest Lake.

Escape to this peaceful and relaxing cottage just steps from the shores of Forest Lake. Nestled in a quiet, natural setting, this charming retreat is perfect for unwinding, enjoying fresh air, and reconnecting with nature. The private road is perfect for walks or bike rides around the small cottage neighborhood or long back roads. The quiet lake community offers relaxation and peacefulness of being away from the hustle and bustle of daily life, but with convenient amenities a short drive away.

The cottage is nestled in a forested landscape, offering a serene, relaxed setting with limited views of Forest Lake. Once inside you will instantly feel the comforts of home. The open concept living space allows free flowing activities and conversation from the eat-in-kitchen to the living space. The living room feels warm and relaxed, with a 50" Smart TV, DVD player, a long list of movies, high speed internet, cable TV, board games, and puzzles to enjoy on days inside. The updated kitchen features a fully supplied kitchen, with plenty of space to create meals at home.

The two bedrooms are arranged to provide comfortable sleeping options: a primary bedroom with a queen-size bed, in-closet dresser and space to hang clothes. The secondary room features a twin XL-over a queen bunk bed, and space to store clothing.

The bathroom has a walk-in shower and is conveniently located near both bedrooms. The washer and dryer are in the bathroom. The basement offers extra storage space to keep outdoor gear and luggage out of the main living areas.

Kids and adults alike will enjoy the open yard that changes with the seasons--lush and naturally grown, that offers play and exploration of wildflowers, plants, frogs, and toads in the spring and summer, then quiet and sparkling with snow in winter. Forest Lake is steps from the cottage and offers a footpath to the lake. Store your kayak or paddleboard on the shore for easy access. The boat launch is on Route 10, right after Town Beach is 1 mile away and offers sandy beaches, playground, picnic tables, BBQ, and changing rooms for a full day of fun.
