The Orchard Cottage is perfect for families, especially with young kids. The bedroom set up with 2 bedrooms (1-King bedroom, separate bedroom with 2 twins) was perfect for our family. The bathroom was very spacious with 2 sinks and a shower/tub combo. The private beach and rolling green lawns and meadows surrounding the property are incredible. The tennis court (racquets and balls provided) and croquet set was perfect for the kids. The playground and pick-your-own garden were fabulous and we even picked our own squash for dinner. There is a Weber grill and charcoal
chimney at the cottage and several great restaurants close-by in Westport and Essex, NY. Very clean space, beautiful deck overlooking the lake, with outside table for 4, clean sheets and very well equipped kitchen (no food staples, but with all equipment needed to cook for a week) as well as paper goods. There were even puzzles in the closets for a rainy day. Complete solitude, we never heard another person! No noise but nature, crickets/fireflies at night and deer outside the cottage in the early morning. Totally relaxing and we’ll definitely stay here again!
