Welcome to Peggy's Cottage. The owner, a cellist, originally chose this Queechy Lake home for its proximity to Tanglewood and the cathedral ceilings in the family room, which served as her music room. She quickly grew to love the lake community's friendly neighbors, walking trails, and private beach. This cozy log cabin sits on a level .36 acre lot, offering rare privacy with lovely gardens, a latticed entertainment deck, and two sheds. Relax in the living room in front of the stone fireplace, perfect for a quiet conversation or reading. Step into the spacious family/music room and enjoy movie night and the view of the gardens. The open kitchen and dining area connect to a first-floor bedroom with laundry and a full bath. Upstairs, you will find two large bedrooms with skylights and generous closets, including a primary bedroom with ensuite bath and a Juliette balcony. The second bedroom accesses the bath via a hall entry. Key updates include a new roof (2025) and boiler (11/23). Residents enjoy a variety of seasonal activities, from boating and kayaking in the summer to cross-country skiing and ice fishing in the winter. The property is ideally located 15 minutes from Tanglewood and the Village of Chatham, 23 minutes from Jiminy Peak Ski Resort, and within 30 minutes of local hiking, dining, antiquing, regional theater and museums. The Queechy Shores Beach Association provides members with access to a boat launch, a dock, a private beach, and a recreation pavilion. Association rules restrict rentals to a minimum of 30 days.
