Private & secluded, but still central-ish to tourist stuff. Was about an hour to/from Boston with no traffic & about the same to Newport. Nice lake setting - wished we’d stayed one more day to hang out on the lake.

Dean was a great host who responded very quickly. The property was well furnished and very comfortable, complete with an excellent game room!

Very clean and cozy. Owner told us how to find the address and when not to listen to GPS, greatly appreciated! Owners communication was excellent on any questions we had. The house has a great game room! Nice quiet area to stay at.

Very comfortable and convenient location. Dean is an excellent host!

Property is absolutely gorgeous, and great for anyone wanting to leaf-peek during fall and still have quick access to Boston. We were very fortunate to see a bunch of blue jays and chipmunks around the area. There’s also lots of access to shopping in the nearby area and an incredible pizza joint within a 5 minute walk from the property. The owner is especially nice. Would definitely stay here again!

We are regular travelers renting homes throughout the east coast and would rate Dean’s Lakehouse as a true treasure. Almost at the end of a quiet dead-end road overlooking Lake Cochituate, this house is the perfect retreat for a peaceful quiet getaway. It is one of the nicest, best located, and real value of all the places we have stayed. The Lake House was a spotlessly clean, well-updated home that had everything we needed to feel at home. This house features a game room with an old-school shuffleboard table, bubble table hockey game, and vintage hole-in-one gold video console game, all surrounded by great movie posters (Caddy Shack and Slap Shot, among others) and vintage ad plaques on the walls. Nature walking paths abound around Lake Cochituate to enjoy. Also close by are all several supermarkets to stock up and many restaurants to choose from, not to mention only about 30-40 minutes to downtown Boston. Dean is an excellent host who made himself immediately available if we had any questions or needed anything. We would highly recommend this wonderful lakeside retreat. Thanks again for a great weekend Dean.

The house was perfectly located with an unobstructed lake view across the street. The game room was so much fun and the large TV’s were perfect for watching March Madness, Bruins and Celtics! This house is close to everything, but feels private and tucked away. I will 100% rent this property again.

Location was excellent for our needs - Lake views a bonus! Very clean! Had our adult children/spouses with us but everyone had privacy when needed. Well appointed kitchen - we cooked every night. Game room a lot of fun for all ages. Host was super responsive to every inquiry and provided concise rules without being overbearing. Would definitely go back!
