About

Private lakefront home on Lake Pocotopaug with a fishing dock, kayaks, fire pit, and spectacular sunset views — perfect for family & friend getaways. Welcome to Lakeside Ferns, where you’ll enjoy direct waterfront access and private dock for swimming, fishing, kayaking, canoeing, and boating. Grill dinner, relax in the hammock by the water, and gather around the outdoor fire pit for s’mores under the stars. End each day with breathtaking sunsets over the lake — beautiful in every season.

Good to know

Our goal is simple: when you walk through the front door, it feels like your vacation home. We thoughtfully stock the house with the essentials — and then some — so you can settle in without an immediate grocery run. You’ll find start-up supplies of coffee, tea, sugar and sweeteners, paper towels, kitchen soaps, trash bags, zip-top bags, toilet paper, shampoo, body soap, and laundry detergent. We also provide the extras that make a stay easier: reusable grocery bags, umbrellas, an ice scraper (seasonal), a portable cooler, folding chairs, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a backpack for day trips and lake adventures. Planning a holiday or special meal? You’re covered. The kitchen is fully equipped for hosting, including a hand mixer, Ninja blender, electric carving knife, serving platters, gravy boat, large serving and salad bowls, food storage containers, and dishware for 16+ guests. Past guests love gathering here for holiday meals because everyone can pitch in. This isn’t just a kitchen — it becomes everyone’s kitchen during your stay, making meal prep, celebration, and cleanup part of the shared experience. Come ready to cook, relax, and make memories together. ✹ 10 GUEST MAX.
