We would definitely stay again!!! Tom's place has an amazing location right on the water for the perfect balance of activity and peaceful downtime. The property is heavily wooded between homes so you don't see or hear anyone except yourselves. You can step right out the door and down to the private beach for swimming or take one of the many boats for a trip around the lake and be back in time to swing through the tiny town of Chepacet, visit the horse farm down the road, and head to Providence for dinner!
The cottage itself is incredibly charming and well outfitted- the photos are very accurate but cannot capture the true spirit of this place. We loved the cozy decor and big, pristine, footed bath! The cottage is sometimes pet friendly (with prior approval) and we both have bad allergies but we had no issues and felt very comfortable and rested the whole stay. Upon arrival we found fresh eggs, tomatoes from the garden, and other welcome treats left by Tom and Penelope. A gas grill right outside the kitchen on a covered porch enabled us to bbq even on the day it rained! There is plenty of outdoor seating and several dining tables for sunset dinners. We stayed four nights and it went by too fast- the mark of a great stay!
