The Cottage
Our unique combination of a secluded cottage and a private beach makes ours a rare rental opportunity on Lake Willoughby. Such are the opinions of our guests.
The cottage faces the sunset and the beach is greeted by the sunrise and tenting is possible on the beach. It is a short boat ride of 5 minutes to the beach with spectacular views on the way. Canoeing takes the same time as going around by car.
Interior of Cottage

Second floor: two full-sized beds overlook the lake; single bed in middle room; one full-sized bed behind cottage looking up into the woods. Single bed downstairs in front room. The front room and dining area look out over the lake. One can monitor children swimming at the waterfront.
The Beach
Where families spend most of their time...When shadows fall across the beach, returning to the cottage is like getting another day. Picnic tables, fire pit, beach chairs and umbrellas, and tenting on the beach and awakening to the sunrise and fresh air for a swim or early morning sailing...well...unforgettable...

beautiful lake to explore with mountain views and pristine waters, and canoeing in the evening with the fragrances coming down off the mountains is a special experience.
The 14' motor boat comes with the cottage and has a new 5 HP Honda motor.
The motor is reliable and is touted by many to be the easiest to start. Special, high octane alcohol-free gasoline may be purchased at the Westmore Store.
Watch the weather carefully. Do not use the motorboat unless the waves are gentle. The beach is always placid when the wind is from the north or west, but south waves can be dangerous. Also, a west wind can come up behind the beach making a return to the cottage and landing difficult if not impossible -- unless you are an expert with boats. Thus, also bring a car with you and park behind the beach. There is a mooring for the boat.
Fishing for lake trout is possible about 300 yards out from the beach. Explicit directions (secrets for catching them) will be offered on site.
