Our parents from Long Island, NY wanted to move to the country, and in 1953 bought this, our family property.
We grew up milking our own cows, kept chickens & ducks and
many other farm animals, grew our own gardens, made maple syrup from our trees, and rode our horses everywhere.
And swam in the lake every day!
My siblings and I still maintain and enjoy the nature on the property,
and especially the lake, and feel blessed to be able to share it
with our own children and grandchildren today.
It is our pleasure to share it with others who may also appreciate its beauty and serenity, and who may not be fortunate enough to have access to such a peaceful place.

Stay on 10 beautiful acres of rustic, private land with many good camping spots to choose from in grassy areas with lots of trees.
Enjoy boating/fishing/swimming. We have a gazebo at the lake shore, and an anchored swimming float. We allow the use of kayaks, canoe, rowboat, and peddle boat. Lots of wildlife around the lake; a resident heron, eagles, geese, beavers and otters, and the usual on the property like woodchucks and rabbits, and DEER of course.
Campfire ring, water spigot (private drilled well) and electric available on the property. Neighbor cottage partially visible, but our property is pretty secluded and private. Two picnic tables, many chairs and side tables. Well behaved pets okay, leashes may be required. Mostly level terrain, ample parking area. Very peaceful here. My favorite place to relax, with my guitar and a glass of wine!
Campsites are reasonably private and secluded. We mow paths through the area where camping is best; there are sunny and shady spots. You may choose any spot you like, mowed or not. It's pretty spread out, both sides of stream. The lake and dock area and the boats, the gazebo, as well as the large stone fire ring and picnic tables, are communal. There are portable metal firepits available as well, for use at your campsite.
Parking is in a large gravel area behind cottage area. Most campsites are located across a small stream, easily accessible (less than a 3 min walk) from the parking area. Path immediately next to parking leads to a nice camping area alongside stream. Truck and car-top tents in the parking area may be allowed upon request. We ask that cars stay in the parking area, but there is a wheelbarrow for use in transporting your gear to the spot you choose.
There is NO bathroom (our cottage is private.) You must pack it out, or bring your own portable toilet with disposable liner bags. Trash and recycling cans are provided. No shower, but the lake is great for swimming. There is an anchored swimming float to hang out in the sunshine!Stay on 10 beautiful acres of rustic, private land on a private lake, with many good camping spots to choose from in grassy areas with lots of trees.
