Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Northeastern United States

Absolutely stunning cottage and surroundings. Perfect for a peaceful weekend away and for those looking to connect with nature. The cottage had everything we needed. The sauna was easy to use and overlooked the forest, we loved it. The hosts were super responsive and it was lovely to be welcomed with a bottle of wine at check in.

It’s feels like pressure to write a review that stands up to ALL the other incredible reviews. I suppose we should stop there because that says it all. But we will add this: Ellie and Tower either wrote the book on hospitality or they read it 100 times. There is no doubt you will get the sense that everything is done with an eye to making you happy and comfortable…. And they do that in Spades. If this place caught your eye… act now… it will capture your heart as well.

Lovely place with lake views. 100% happy with this choice vs other offerings in the area. House is set on a hill so you are viewing the lake from a higher spot than if you were literally on the lake. Very majestic. There are binoculars on the window sill to check out boats/things going on. I enjoyed the decor/sense of style the host has. Lots of interesting books, art, turntable, board games, cards, etc. The gardens, koi pond are well maintained. Rooms and bath upstairs do have lower ceiling but this info is disclosed in the ad. It didn’t detract from the experience. Went hiking but we were not avid hikers so learning to read the trail markers was new for us. The town is very small but we found nice spots to eat/visit nearby. We did use kitchen and coffee maker. Appliances are very new. Plenty of kitchen utensils. Cool hairdryer. Host def. appreciates design. Thank you for letting us stay a few extra hours past check out. Wonderful time! Felt like I really got away from the stress.

Overall we very much enjoyed modern rural space. Kiss the Cow farm about 5min drive was amazing& we got most all main food there w/ additional items from Barnard General Store. Spices/ cookware were very good - we brought nonstick pans& 1 knife to supplement. Plenty bowls, measuring cups/spoons, maybe a set of tom collins glasses would be nice albeit stemless wine and rocks glasses available. Needs garlic/onion powder. Tub was amazing/ upstairs bathroom a true getaway/ relaxing space. It was as pictured albeit note spiral staircase &open grated flooring upstairs. Plenty of windows albeit not much cross breeze so think ahead if bring own fan and/or start A/C before get too warm. I would say you must have an SUV year round for this rental - surrounding roads/ driveway are a good distance on rough dirt/gravel - traversable yet a sportier car with low profile tires/ ground clearance would not work. We enjoyed simply walking driveway& East Barnard Rd. Barnard Inn restaurant worth it.

We stayed for a few days at the zen cottage and it was the most relaxing and peaceful weekend. The cottage is exactly has described and super clean. Alma and James were very helpful and welcoming. Overall had an extremely enjoyable weekend and hope to come back soon

No notes, incredible escape even in the pouring rain. The ambience, even down to the little things like walking through the door to classical music, was truly top notch.

We had an amazing stay! The location was amazing and the hot tub was perfect! Lots of fun activities to do in the area as well and Marissa gave so many great recommendations. My husband and I had a great time !

We loved our stay here!! It was the perfect getaway for a long weekend. The property is beautiful and private but close to anything that you might need. The kitchen was super well stocked, beds were comfy, and we really appreciated the firewood supply. Nikki & Topher were great hosts - extremely responsive to all questions we had and proactive about check in/check out instructions. Would definitely come back!

Excellent spot. Exactly as described: hot tub is indeed hot (and clean and works well), beds are very comfortable, it is easy manage temperature, the shower was great, and kitchen well stocked. All just perfect. Isabelle was very kind and helpful, too. Would recommend and would return!

Look no more! Winter Island Retreat is a seaside oasis that creates an atmosphere of tranquility and peace. From the moment I arrived I was struck by it's beauty captivated by the stunning sunrises to start each day The retreat is charming and a place of solace. The beautifully manicured lawn and gardens filled with lush floral designs adds to its magic. while the front porch with its rocking chairs, invite you to slow down and savor your morning coffee or lose yourself in a good book. Evenings are equally special walking the path to the beach and settling into the adriondack chair with a glass of wine It's a peaceful ritual that grounds you in gratitude. The home itself is cozy, comfortable and thoughtfully decorated with calming beachy touches that make you feel at ease. It's perfectly located just minutes from downtown Salem. I'm grateful to be one of the lucky guests to stay in David's home. He was a kind and gracious host. A truly memorable retreat I will be back

Our stay was peaceful and what we needed! We spent a lot of time outside kayaking and fishing so it wasn’t too important where we stayed - but wow. I am so thankful to have stayed with Kevin! Everything we needed and more was available in a clean modern space close to town! After our long days out and about it was nice to come back and be able to throw some food on the grill and lounge on the couch. Although we don’t plan on returning to the area, I 10/10 recommend this space for anyone looking!

This was my second stay here- just as peaceful, clean and comfortable as the first! Spacious “in-law” quarters with all the necessities and a nice touch of extras like a stocked coffee station with Keurig brewer, countertop convection/air fryer oven, and electric fireplace. The apartment’s cleanliness and neatness is a standout. Great communicaton from the host as well.

Beautiful and comfortable home, nicely decorated. Felt like home away from home. The place is very cozy with a great view at the river, very relaxing. I have to say it has exceeded my expectations. Judi and Dave are very responsive. I would book again in a heartbeat.

David and Mátti’s place is truly special. I feel very lucky that we got to stay there for a few days! Thank you to our hosts for creating such a serene, comfortable space. They went out of their way to say hello and make us feel at home. We had a barbecue one night, and David even brought over extra strong bug spray! We also love supporting the incredible work that they are doing with artists. My friends and I would love to stay here again for another trip to the Berkshires.

We had to cut our stay short due to changes in travel plans, which was a pity because it was a really lovely and very comfortable place. I would strongly recommend it and hope to stay longer next time.

This is my third stay with Phyllis and her place does not disappoint. The place is spotless, spacious, comfortable, and has everything I needed. I would recommend Phyllis’ place to anyone.

We loved this cute, cozy house—it had plenty of space to spread out and struck the perfect balance between old charm and updated amenities. The location was ideal: walkable to the beach, which was great for sea glass hunting! Definitely recommend exploring the island while you're here. We’d absolutely stay again!

Was a lovely relaxing stay! Host left a handwritten note and left clear instructions for everything and all the amenities. Would definitely stay here again!

The house was perfect for our family of 8. It was spacious and well equipped. It was quiet with lovely views across Lake Ontario. The location was perfect, close to RBG and a 15 drive to good restaurants. Tal was extremely responsive to any inquiries prior to arrival and after arrival. We really enjoyed our stay.

We had a great time at Harpreet’s villa on lake Eerie. The view of the lake with naturalized area in between was heavenly and peaceful. Lots of different bird species make you feel like you are truly away from the city. The kids stayed thoroughly entertained in the games room while the adults enjoyed the comfortable living quarters. The kitchen was clean and functional and the bbq was spotless! Overall a great getaway.

This place is incredible. There are so many places for small group conversations and hangout time. It felt like being in two houses. Bedrooms are lovely and varied, kitchen is well stocked. Lighting is soft and plentiful, with lots of natural light during the day. We loved spending time around the fireplace and out on the deck. Thank you for creating such a wonderful property!!

What a lovely cottage. Our little group was looking for a nice quiet place to relax and enjoy mommy alone time. This place was perfect. They had a nice touch with the ambiance music when we came in and left us some little treats. We very much enjoyed the hot tub and the fireplace since it rained most of the weekend. It was perfect to relax, nap, laugh and enjoy. The host was very responsive and helpful when we had any questions. We will be back for sure !

This is at least our third time here and it's literally perfect! The place is even nicer than the pictures. Absolutely immaculate and if you ever have any issues, just text, and you will get a response likety split. Thanks again SO much!!!

A great place to stay. We were in town for a funeral and this place made a rough time in our lives more peaceful. Shahram was very responsive and friendly. Super helpful with any questions I had. Next time we visit this WILL be the place we stay. Thanks Shahram!!!
