About this property

Rustic Log Cabin on the Lake

Relax and unwind at this cozy cabin on a quiet lake. Enjoy kayaking, pedal boating and fishing from the dock, or take a short walk down the road to embark on miles of hiking in beautiful Douglas State Forest. This rustic log cabin has a private bedroom, with a full bed, and sleeping alcoves off the sleeping porch with a queen bed and bunkbeds. Wake up to views of the lake or enjoy a relaxing fire and watch the sun set. Two pellet stoves offer cozy nights during winter months.

Nearby activities include hiking in the state forest, the beach and picnic area at Wallum Lake, water slides at Whittin Reservoir and concerts and paddlewheel boat rides at Indian Ranch, all within 10 minutes of the cabin!

Enjoy quietly unwinding on the lake, which has no public access or motor craft, surrounded by the woods. There are books and boardgames for your enjoyment as well as wifi and a television. There are two kayaks and a pedal boat for your use as well as some basic fishing equipment (Massachusetts does require a license for anglers over the age of 14). There is also a good supply of split firewood for your use.

The kitchen is stocked with many of the cooking basics(spices, oil, butter, ketchup, bbq sauce, etc.) so you can easily prepare meals or use the gas grill. The cabin does not have a washer/dryer but there is a laundromat in nearby Webster if you require.

There are three exterior security cameras on the property, none of them face into the residence.

Get away stay

The property is a hidden gem. Our trip turned into a winter wonderland as we had a beautiful snow storm at the time of our stay. The cabin was warm and comfortable. I want to come back for fishing on the lake.

Fun Family Getaway

Cozy rustic log cabin in the woods! My family enjoyed fishing, kayaking, grilling up family dinners, crafting and playing games together. We sat by the fire pit every night roasting s’mores. It was the perfect place to bring our family together! This was our second time staying and we would love to make it a yearly tradition!

Perfect Retreat in the Woods

Beautiful quiet property tucked away in the woods and on the lake. Great old log cabin beautifully updated with all the modern conveniences. Perfect location to reach urban activities in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut.

Comfy Long Weekend

The log cabin was comfy and had everything you needed for a family getaway. We loved the views and kayaking! The set up for fires at night and grilling were great! You don’t expect AC at a cabin in the woods so that was a lovey amenity!

Fantastic cabin on the lake

My family had a great time at this cabin on the lake. The description doesn't do it justice. For instance, you pretty much have the lake to yourself, which appears to be quite well-stocked. The house itself is not huge, but the owners have found a way to make every part count. We had five of us and we fit very comfortably. This is a place to come to contemplate the higher things while basking in the warm glow of a beautiful sunset.

Fantastic spot, Fantastic stay

We visited in August with my sons 18 and 20, and had a fantastic time. This cabin is awesome and in an even more awesome spot. The place was spotless and had everything we needed to be more than comfortable. The location is completely private and you do not see any neighbors at all from the back of the property and the fire pit. The lake is fantastic and very private. I don’t think I saw ten other people the whole time we were there. We fished a lot and caught lots of fish. The small town of Douglas has nice spots to eat and anything else you may need. Ethan was an awesome host and attended to all our needs. If you are looking for a relaxing getaway, this is the place.

Great location. Like staying at a friend's cabin on the lake.

We spent the weekend here -- an actual log cabin, with rustic, woodsy charm. We loved it. Sleeping arrangements are a small private bedroom, plus a sleeping porch with a queen bed on one side, bunk beds on the other, a table in the middle, and windows all around. The view of the lake is great and you can walk down to a small dock with kayaks. We spent every evening on the back patio in front of a roaring fire, overlooking the lake. (The owner even provided firewood.) Kitchen is well-appointed, like staying at a friend's house. A few surprising modern touches included fast wireless internet, a TV with apps, and a record player with records to play (and Bluetooth). You share one small bathroom. Owner is friendly and responsive. Location is outstanding, on the edge of a state forest -- we went on two long hikes -- and a short drive to town.

Long weekend getaway

Quiet, rustic, relaxing atmosphere. Pond was low due to drought, but still enjoyable. Fishing was slow and tough with the dense vegetation, but we did catch some really nice fish. Host was great, would go back for sure!

Lakeside Getaway

The process of renting and checking in was very easy. Communication with the host was very good, they got back to me in a short time with answers to questions. My son and grandkids loved the Lake. Going out on the water, swimming, boating, and fishing was their favorite past time. All of us had a great time with lots of family bonding.

Douglas MA Lake Cabin

This was a lovely cabin with plenty of room for our family including two adults and teen age boys. They loved the clean lake, kayaks, and peddle boat. We had a heat wave during our stay and were grateful for the AC! The back patio overlooks the lake and we spent leisurely time reading books and watching the boys swim. The owners were quick to respond to questions and to offer advice for local attractions. This was a great place for a low-key, slow-down-life, vacation.

Beautiful lake view in a log cabin

If you want to take your family on an old fashioned, low-tech vacation, you would really enjoy this spot. The lake is so pretty. The house is stocked with board games and a record player. The owners are responsive and kind.

About the host

Host profile image
We live nearby, in Rhode Island, and absolutely love our outdoor time. Angela is a manager with a local bank and Ethan is a carpenter that now spends all his time in the office. We have two younger kids, Asher and Olivia.

Why they chose this property

Angela and Ethan have been avid campers for many years but decided to buy this cabin so we could enjoy getting away more often (and with less packing!), and make memories with our young children. We live nearby in Rhode Island and love making quick trips to the cabin for days or weekends on the lake at any time of year. Some of our best times have been in the middle of winter when the lake is fully frozen and it seems like the whole community is out on the ice to fish, skate and chat. We
