Tashmoo Cottage


Front view


Back view

The beautiful Tashmoo Cottage has white pickled wood cathedral ceilings and natural slate tile work, accented by skylights and lots of windows, giving the feeling of being outside in the surrounding forest, while enjoying the privacy of the home. Soft colors and clear lines, crafted with natural materials, create a peaceful backdrop for your vacation living.

The Tashmoo Cottage, offers about 1100 sq. ft. of living area, with one and a half stories. It has three bedrooms, one bath. We provide linens for all the beds, and towels for the bathroom with your request of our setup service. The Cottage is private and snug enough to be a great shelter for honeymooners, or to function as a wedding couple get-away. It is a great "start of your life" space.

The cottage is also large enough to accommodate two couples, or one or two families with children. It is set up to sleep 6 people comfortably. Pets are welcome to the Tashmoo Cottage.

A full kitchen with a gas stove, a double door refrigerator with icemaker, a dishwasher, a butcher-block peninsula and a microwave oven, suit gastronomes as well as the basic food preparer.


Dining area


Dining area and open living room

The kitchen is open to the living room, but also to the outside. Multiple windows allow the counters to be showered with light over the tumbled marble counters. A 12'x 28' deck to the west, overlooking a pleasant fishpond, makes for long evenings with outdoor dining, while the sun goes down. The deck is set up with dining furniture, and a BBQ is located just off the front steps.

There are two equal sized bedrooms on the first floor with generous mirror-door closets. One room features a queen-sized bed, the other has two twin beds. Both bedrooms have double glass doors opening up to the rising sun in the East so you can start to enjoy the day, even before you get out of bed.

A stairway to the upstairs loft and newly added bonus two twin bedroom, offer a place for your guests, or extended family.

All three bedrooms, share a full bathroom with a soaking tub, on the first floor. An additional outdoor shower on the North wall, is still our favorite for showering off the sand, after a long day at the beach.

Bathroom

The Tashmoo Cottage is a fully winterized cottage, with forced propane heat, in addition to the efficient glass door wood stove, that can also function as an open fireplace for romantic ambiance.

There is a "middle green" with a circular driveway, between the buildings on the large property, perfect for young bikers to practice their skills on, before going on the public road. A volleyball net is provided on the middle green, that is also perfect for your family badminton tournament. On a side lawn, we can set up a croquet course, if your family would like to play that, please ask. There is also a basketball hoop for friendly competition. The property is set back 300' from the road. The paved road ends right past the property. There is a little more than a mile to bike or walk down to the Tashmoo Public Beach.
