Stay in Southampton

We had a beautiful, quiet stay in this little cottage on the water. Gorgeous views, nice hikes nearby, and comfortable accommodations. Richard was a helpful and responsive host.

Peaceful lakeside cottage

We were delighted by the private, quiet beauty of the cottage and the lake. It was a wonderful spot to peacefully recharge. It is also centrally located, making it easy to explore the Hampton with a rental car. We'll look for an opportunity to come back!

Peaceful Cabin

This is an adorable little cabin on Big Fresh Pond! We came with another couple looking for a private place to relax in the Hamptons and the house totally fit the bill. Access to the lake with the kayaks was the main draw but the simple beauty of the cottage was a real pleasure. The place is sweetly appointed with a shabby chic vibe. You have everything you need to make a nice meal. It is small but cozy and lets face it most of your time here will be spent outside or sight seeing. You are close to fine dining in SagHarbor and South Hampton and a simple drive to everywhere else. Our favorite time was our trip to the North Shore, with wine tasting and delicious fresh lobster lunches as well as some shopping in the most unique little shops. Richard supplies you with everything you need, dish soap, dishwasher and laundry soap although you may want bring your own shower soap. The best thing is that he supplies you with good sea salt, a must for this foody group. This is a little gem!

Quite peace minutes from it all.

Absolutely wonderful cottage set in a storybook setting. My husband, son (5yo) and myself had a simply memorable time over a 6 day period. The house although small, lives perfectly with windows all around bringing the incredible outside, in. The pond was such a treat to swim and kayak in and the house was fully stocked with anything and everything needed. We had a few very warm days with no cross breeze, and we had 2 window a/c’s delivered within hours of a call to the PM. 8 minute drive to the Village of Southampton, 16 minutes to Coopers beach, 20 minutes to Sag Harbor and just over an hour to Montauk. A few reviews spoke about places to walk to, we found a short drive took us to restaurants infinitely better. All in all a perfect experience and we look forward to returning.

Very cozy, lake front, relaxing cottage

The location is nice and in walking distance from the North Sea general store and North Sea tavern. And short uber ride from downtown south Hampton. I highly recommend as I have stayed here three times already over the past 3 years.

Lovely stay!

We had four lovely days and three nights at this South Hampton retreat. The Tranquill lake front setting with beautiful swimming access is a perfect retreat. House is well appointed, cozy, clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. Location is close enough to town but private and secluded enough to really provide a sense of being away from it all. Will visit again! Thank you.

A GEM

I almost don’t want to say how much I enjoyed Richard’s home because then it will be booked solid for the rest of time but I sort of can’t believe it’s not! It was THE most incredible stay: the house is perfect, the pond is gorgeous, it’s so close to downtown Southampton... I have absolutely no complaints. We had the best time. Thank you and I can’t wait to be back!!!

Magical lake oasis with fireflies and butterflies

The lake house is such a magical, relaxing wonderful escape. We had an absolutely blissful time...the lake is marvelous - clean clear and warm with beautiful swans and Lilly pads with lotus flowers. And the yard is perfect for relaxing family BBQs. The house is super adorable and comfortable with everything you need. The whole experience was just perfect - we rent a lot of houses all over the world and this was our favorite yet!

Ideal setting for those wanting to enjoy nature and be on the water.

The cottage is charming and very true to the photos and slightly better. The views from the cottage to the water and yard are spectacular. We had dinner on the lawn each night with tablecloth and candles and enjoyed the bbq. There was a 2 person kayak and a paddle board that came with the property and sat next to the private dock. We used these often to explore the peaceful and private pond. I was able to swim in mid June; the water was nice! The best part was Milo though! The next door neighbor's black lab that adopted our family and played with my daughters. He literally paddle boarded with Lily and did not fall or jump off! We are naming our new puppy Milo after him :).

Wonderful Lakeside Retreat

My wife and I were looking for a break from the city. We wanted something low key but close enough to Southampton's main street. The cottage fit the bill. It was bright and cozy and the property was magnificent and well kept. If you're a lake person, you'll appreciate the experience.
