About This Home
As of July 2019Seasonal lakefront retreat on Rogers Lake. Come sit and relax on the patio, steps from the lake, or enjoy your morning coffee on the screened-in porch. At the end of the day, watch spectacular sunsets. The floating dock makes it easy to enjoy swimming, boating and fishing. This is a one-bedroom seasonal cottage allowing for occupancy through the Autumn months. Then comeback and enjoy the return of Spring and all the magic it brings with it. Perfect getaway for that balance you are searching for. Perhaps a retreat for writing. The finished lower level offers additional space and options. Along with the screened porch these two additional rooms provide a total of 1040 square feet. The cottage itself is elevated on the lot and the combination of water, sky and trees makes for a deeply relaxing experience. A country market with deli and carryout food is within walking distance to make life even easier. In addition to the quiet side of kayaking, cycling, and swimming, the area is chockfull of wonderful restaurants, shops, entertainment, and museums. Located halfway between New York and Boston, you will find your little slice of heaven at The Birches.
