Beautiful Lakefront Home with Private Beach

Rustic lakefront home ideally located for exploring historic New England. The house is at the end of a private road on a 1 acre wooded lot. The house is on a wooded peninsula and surrounded by water on three sides. Most rooms include water views. There is a sandy beach that includes a dock. The gradual slope of the beach is ideal for young children. The house sleeps 8 in bedrooms and has a queen sofa bed in the living room. There is easy access to Boston via car or public transportation. The house features a spacious great room with gas fireplace, large dining room and a fully equipped gourmet kitchen.

Summer and Fall are excellent times of year to enjoy swimming in the lake or relaxing and enjoying the reflection of the fall foliage in the pond. In winter there is easy access to trails for cross country skiing. Downhill skiing & snowboarding is available at Wachusett Mountain Ski Area which is a scenic 30-minute drive. New England Sport Center is a short drive down 290. The house is also convenient to the many colleges and medical facilities in the Worcester area.

Please note this is a multi-level house. There is a flight of stairs to get to the main level and a small number of steps between areas within the house. If you have mobility issues this would not be a good fit for you.

GFM Fall Get together
We celebrated our annual Fall get together with 8 50yr old woman. The property is huge! The lake was beautiful and weather amazing. We made a foot bath area at the lake and planted succulents. The fire pits are large and plenty of room for everyone to gather either down by the water or next to the house. Parking was great with plenty of spots around the home. Besides the slight musty odor in the finished basement, the home was lovely! I would recommend bringing toiletries and condiments if you need them, otherwise plenty of towels and a huge kitchen that was great for gathering and eating. A few spiders in the corners but you’re really at the end of a road in the woods surrounded by water, so critters are to be expected. The sunsets and sunrise were spectacular! Coffee by the water in the morning, cocktail at night. Host was generous to give us an early check in so we got the most out of our stay! Highly recommend this property for the lake, home and space you get for the price!

Family Graduation Stay
This lakefront home was perfectly located to WPI Campus for us to attend our son's graduation. The kitchen was well-equipped and the dining table was large enough for our entire family of 8! We enjoyed moments of recreation around the basement pool table and took pictures at the "beach". All slept comfortably, but know that if you need darkness to sleep, the window treatments are not room-darkening. The owner was very prompt with communication. We very much enjoyed out stay!

Tranquil and relaxing
We spent a wonderful few nights at this, secluded, quiet and idyllic property on a small pond just outside of Worcester for our daughters graduation. So much nicer than a couple of hotel rooms. Our only complaint was that it smells very damp in the basement making it difficult to enjoy the game areas and pool table. Everything else was excellent. Kitchen is incredibly well stocked. Host was excellent at letting us make a change last minute. Very accommodating.

Boston Marathon getaway
A very comfortable stay for our daughter's 4th Boston Marathon. Was a bit farther away than I anticipated but it was lovely. Very cozy and felt like home. There was a utility issue but the owner was as responsive and expeditious as possible to get it fixed. We had a great time.

A quirky retreat- secluded, yet near Worcester
I use the term "quirky", because this house has an unusual layout and unusual decor. Lots of steps to different wings of the house and many small areas outdoors, off of many different rooms. That said, in terms of a family stay, it offered a large kitchen, living room and dining room as gathering spaces. Very well stocked kitchen for food prep and serving. Very clean and updated bathrooms were appreciated. One word of caution- this a raised ranch with access to the house via a full flight of stairs, making settling in and packing up a little difficult for older guests.

We were all in awe when we drove up to the property, and even more so when we entered the home. It was spotless, and the decor was so cozy and welcoming. We had everything that was needed for our 2-night stay, including the most spectacular view to wake up to. I highly recommend this host.

This was the perfect house for a weekend getaway. Quiet, secluded location. But still close enough to get to Worcester (less than 15 minutes). The house was very nice with plenty of space. Debra was very responsive and quick to answer any questions. I would definitely stay here again!

Great location
We loved our stay at Newton Pond. We pick a new location each year in the NY/New England area. This might be our favorite thus far! We appreciated the privacy, as we never saw or heard the neighbors. We’re a quiet group ourselves and therefore appreciated being able to enjoy the nature. We saw lots of ducks, the local swans, and the beaver who resides nearby.
