Serendipity Cottage by Lermond Pond Sitting just 30 feet from the water's edge, this delightful cottage is beautifully decorated with all your comforts in mind. I've been renting my home for 20 years and have many repeat guests who have become friends. They love the uniqueness of my home, a cross between traditional & eclectic, guests have described it as "magical."Though small in stature, this cottage is large in space, with beautiful vistas & solitude. With its 300 feet of shore frontage, dock, beautiful gardens, rock lined streams & lawn area for play, you will delight both inside & out. There is easy access for kayaks from the shore with lots to explore on the pond. & the water is great for swimming. Minimum stay for Off-Season rentals is flexible.The open floor plan is filled with light from the full wall of windows looking out over the water. The kitchen could be described as a One-Butt-Kitchen, but is packed with cooking essentials and stainless appliances: gas stove, dishwasher, french door refrigerator and microwave,; beautiful granite counter tops, spices, condiments, baking needs, stainless cookware, coffee maker and loads of gadgets. The dining room/living room are designed with comfort in mind and filled with handcrafted furniture, artwork and unique artisan crafted items. The view of the lake, just 30 feet away is amazing.

There are perennial gardens, stone lined brook and generous lawn area for the kids to play and shaded dining area by the woods where you can enjoy lovely breezes coming over the water, whispering through the trees. The water in Lermond Pond is wonderfully clean and enjoyable to swim and frollick in. It is quiet with very little boat traffic with only the occasional water skier but no jet skis.
