Vacation rentals with a fire pit in Lyme

Our family gathered in Watertown to have Thanksgiving with our son who lives there and is stationed at Ft. Drum. We wanted a nice place on the water where the adults could stay and the family could gather for Thanksgiving dinner. Jane's place was nice and cozy for the adults who stayed and enjoyed by all who came for dinner. Jane was responsive to any communications and helpful when we thought our stay may have to be extended due to the threat of 60+ inches of lake effect snow. We were able to check out on time and would love to return when we could truly enjoy the yard, water access, kayaks etc.

The mansion is beautiful! I will say as a person who is very easily spooked by old houses, this place doesn’t give off the creepy haunted vibe you’d expect it to. The house is a bit dusty as is to be expected it’s 200 years old and I definitely recommend bringing some extra pillows, other than that it was an absolutely beautiful weekend away, the house is historic and very fascinating. James offered us a FREE tour of the areas of the house that they are currently renovating and explained the deep history of each and every room. They have definitely done right by the original owner. If you’re considering staying here but you aren’t sure let my review be the one that sways you because it really is one of the most unique experiences you’ll have.

So glad we found this amazing place! It is nestled off the road in a quiet, beautiful location. The downstairs area is spacious, with a pool table and a dart board. The electric fireplace was such a nice addition for the colder than usual evening. Penny was such a great host! Fun filled fact- the space is filled with such pretty photos. I was so interested in them that I looked up the photographer and turns out it was Penny! I ended up purchasing a few pieces and I can’t wait to add them to my space at home! If you’ve landed on this page to read the reviews, book this Air B n B! You won’t regret it 😊

Beautiful surroundings and a really cozy cottage. Everything is as advertised and the host provided clear instructions and was quick to respond to questions. The place has everything you need to spend a few relaxing days. My only regret is not staying for more days :)

This is a lovely home on a quiet street. Four of us stayed here for a long-weekend birthday celebration and found it charming. We had hot weather one day and enjoyed using the large barbecue and eating in the screened pavilion. Another day was chilly, so the gas-lit woodstove was enjoyed. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking and the furnishings were very comfy. We enjoyed the view from the sunporch, even when it was rainy. Thanks, Susan for a cozy stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this adorable lake house on Ontario Lake. The location is truly exceptional—situated right on the water, it offered breathtaking views and picture-perfect sunsets each evening. The setting was peaceful, private, and ideal for a relaxing escape. The home itself had a unique charm, with a few characterful quirks typical of a lakeside cottage, none of which detracted from the comfort or tranquility of our stay. The host provided a well-organized and helpful guidebook, which included clear instructions for the house and thoughtful recommendations for local attractions and dining. Overall, this was a delightful and restorative retreat, and we would gladly return. Highly recommended for those seeking serenity and natural beauty in a cozy lakeside setting.

Nice small place right on the water with a north country beach. (Small shore lined with shells and sand)

Maria’s home was beautiful with a spectacular view right on the water. We enjoyed time on the dock, kayaking, paddle boarding and canoeing in the bay. Maria was kind enough to provide us wood for the fire pit and the kids loved cooking s’mores at night. The hot tub was relaxing after a long day exploring the area. Maria’s home was clean and comfortable and we felt right at home. Thank you Maria for being a wonderful host and sharing your beautiful home!

10/10 I enjoyed my stay so much and I will come back again soon! 😁

Was a great place to stay when visiting, nice and quiet, with everything you need to feel right at home.

Veronica's a wonderful host. Very responsive and accommodating. Her manor is spacious and well-maintained. We had a wonderful stay!

very responsive. only stayed a night but i had no issues

Great stay, very accommodating. Very livable spaces and comfortable furniture.

This was a fantastic trip. The room was perfect and clean!

The house is perfect! Extremely clean and a very comfortable bed! Will definitely book again at Mark’s place! Thanks for making our stay enjoyable!

It was perfect for us. It is small, but truly cozy and comfortable, perfect for 2 adults. As it was mid to late March in the north country we loved the fireplace and used it almost every night! The apartment was neat, clean, orderly and had everything we needed! If we go back to that area we will definitely look to rent there again!!

I can’t say enough about Virginia and her amazing retreat. We were looking for a simple halfway stop on our way home from seeing family in the US and found this amazing space run by wonderful people. It was a treasure and we will be back. This beautiful family is forging a new way of living and travel that is sustainable and gives me hope. She is a great host if you have children and are interested in forest school and learning about local history and geography. My son was free to run and hear nothing but nature sounds and then we took the ferry everyday into Kingston to explore Canadian history and culture and eat amazing food. We went to the Wolfe Island hotel to eat local wonderful food and visited the stunning isolated beach every night at sunset. Wolfe Island is a place like no other. I had such a great connection with the host and her commitment to the earth and the future. Thank you Virginia!

My partner and I had a fantastic weekend getaway to Place for my birthday! Silver and Will have done an incredible job. It is beautifully designed and so functional! It has everything you could need and the layout is excellent! We enjoyed the screened in porch when the mosquitos were out and when it was raining. The fire pit was wonderful for an afternoon and evening hangout. Relaxing in the hottub was a treat! We had an awesome time canoeing on the quiet lake, which is huge and easy to access. The decor and design is modern and gorgeous. It is exactly as pictured. It is private and cosy. Silver and Will were responsive and were wonderful hosts! We can’t wait to be back again!

A charming and cozy cottage— a bit smaller than I expected but perfect for a relaxing getaway for group of 4. Would definitely come back!

Wonderful, cozy cabin! Great host! Easy check in and checkout process. Nice, private property in the middle of nature. The cabin was very clean and comfortable. Very relaxing and enjoyable 2 night stay. Everything we wanted and more! The hot tub was a great feature. Plenty to do at this property. We will be looking to stay again!

What a fantastic place, we made some really fun memories with our young family here and would love to come back and make more. The space was clean and highly useable, has a fantastic fire pit overlooking the water, a dock at the cabin and a beach right next door. Wish we had stayed longer so we could have done more exploring all the amenities, but it was a very restful weekend and we cannot wait to return to this magical camp you have created!!

I love staying there my boyfriend and I had a wonderful time. The place was perfect. The recommendations of places to go was also great. Rae was very responsive very helpful and I would stay there again.

The log home was beautiful snow was on the ground for Christmas and they even set up a tree inside with lights for my kids . We all loved our stay and it saved the holidays .

We had a great stay! Kids enjoyed all the lake activities provided, especially the fishing! We had everything we needed and were very comfortable. Would definitely stay again!
