Spectacular Cottage at Bantam Lake, Sleeps 12

This 7-bedroom cottage overlooks pristine Bantam Lake, with dock and kayaks. Cottage features 2 stories -- 3 bedrooms on bottom floor, 4 bedrooms on upper floor. Fully renovated with large wraparound porch, new kitchen and bathrooms, AC, Internet and smart TV. Please note there are 2 other rental cottages on property. Each has own private lakefront area. Dock and swimming raft are shared. This is a paradise for kids, with kayaks, inflatables and other water sports. Cottage is on same property as two other rental cottages, but has exclusive access to lakefront area, including picnic area with grill and fire pit. Sunrises are amazing. Please note that one or two of the other cottages may be rented at same time, but they would have separate access to adjoining dock area. (See photos). The cottages may also be rented as a package for special events. In all, there are 13 bedrooms sleeping 25 guests. Bantam Lake area is undiscovered gem, with top-quality restaurants, artisan bakeries, natural museum and 35 miles of hiking trails just minutes away. Also, best ice cream in world produced by local Arethusa Farm Dairy. As owner, I am on property most of summer. If I am not around, I have delegated hosting duties to my son Richie and a professional property manager during off-season. Bantam Lake is a conservationist’s dream. Most of lakefront is owned by White Memorial Trust, which preserves bucolic character. Even on busy holiday weekends, there are very few boats on water. Guests can park cars in parking lot near entrance. We have wagons to transport food, etc. to cottage. There are 2 other cottages on property, located in front of this cottage. The 100-foot lakefront/shoreline is divided in half, with this cottage having exclusive access to picnic tables, swimming area and dock entrance. (See photos)

nice spot, lots of outing options
we rented all three houses and it was a nice spot to relax with friends. So many water toys, no shortage of things to do and places to hang out. Kitchens are kinda small but if you plan to eat out, this will not be an issue. Yummy BBQ, Seafood and Ice Cream places right down the road.

Wonderful Wedding Weekend Get-A-Way
My fiancé (now husband) and I stayed with our Bridal Party at Camp David while getting married in Morris, CT. The accommodations were perfect for such an event! We rented 3 of David’s cottages, which all share the same property and are just steps from Bantam Lake. David was very laid back and great at communicating and accommodating several of our needs. He has all of the amenities necessary for a weekend getaway on the Lake including BBQ supplies and equipment for several different water activities. He has a personal handy man that was quick to respond to and resolve a couple of minor concerns. He also offered to help us unload any belongings. We’re so appreciative of David for providing such hospitality and the perfect accommodations for our wedding weekend! We have memories to last a lifetime. Highly recommend!

Fishing Trip
David was an awesome host, very nice guy. We rented for a fishing trip and the house was perfect. Big dock, plenty of room for our boats and great fishing. Excellent property for multiple families or group events, or just rent one of the cottages, highly recommend this listing

Great Lake house for family get-together
The house was spotless. The bedrooms were beautifully appointed with furniture, linens, space and everything you’d need. So many bedrooms with so many beds. We had no problem deciding who goes where with 8 adults and 5 children. Lots of drawer space snd closets. The wrap-around porch is wonderful except that water came on the floor after a mild rain (but it did not drip from above, and it wasn’t much worse after hurricane Ida’s torrential downpour). So we didn’t mind the water on the porch floor much. And we LOVED the porch. The bathrooms are wonderful. The kitchen is well appointed and stocked. TV and internet were great. The lake is amazing. The yard is perpetually wet but otherwise lovely with all manner of outdoor furniture and fire pit. Owner is lovely; and took us on his pontoon as his guest. Suggestion to host: line the walls with hooks! That’s literally the only shortcoming!!! We will be back year after year.
