About this property

Entire place

Large, charming lake cottage nestled in the heart of our private community.

“Huckle Chuckle” is the perfect cottage for a large family vacation. It is a short 10 minute walk to the private beach and to our quaint village stores. With our classic cottage furniture spread throughout the cottage you will find yourself wanting to sit in every corner as each room has its own unique experience. This amazingly well-preserved historic cottage's most special attribute is it's large, lovely porch, with comfortable seating, where you can enjoy company and family.
The 3rd floor bedrooms are a fun adventure for the kids to sleep and play. Fancy a round of croquet, badminton, or frisbee golf? Our big yards are the perfect place for it!

The edge of the spacious property sits feet from our pristine and private Eagles Mere Lake and access to the communities beautiful path around the lake called the Laurel Path.

Coffee your mornings away on our huge and sumptuous covered porch facing the lake while birdsong inspires your morning. That’s where you surely will want to lounge around late in the day, too, sharing a craft beer with someone special and making memories that will last a lifetime.

Beautiful and fun stay in Eagles Mere
Huckle Chuckle is the perfect cottage for a relaxing stay in Eagles Mere with family. The house is large enough to fit many family members with comfortable and beautiful communal areas to get together. We loved sitting on the porch together overlooking the lake and being a quick walk from the beach.

Lovely Cottage on the Lake!
We had a fantastic time at Huckle Chuckle cottage. This is an old school place with oodles of charm. We loved the deep covered porch with views of the lake and opening all the windows and doors to get the constant breeze. Convenient to all EM has to offer! Looking forward to returning!

Beautiful house in great location
We loved our stay at Huckle Chuckle. It’s a cool historic house with quirks and character. There’s lots of space to spread out and the kitchen is well-equipped with everything we needed. Location-wise it’s a quick walk in one direction to the beach and to the Sweet Shop the other way. We hope to stay again.

Beautiful Home in a wonderful location but....
The home itself is a wonderful piece of history. More than enough room for our large family. Lovely property with comfortable beds. Beautiful large covered porch in the back. But I have a few things to note. This house is on a private member only lake. The owner had mentioned a fee of $320 for our large group to use the lake. When I called the Lake association to pay the fee they told me for our group of 18 people the fee would be $600. Without paying this fee you cannot access the lake at all or use the dock that is on the properly. This should be mentioned with the listing with the correct fees. In addition.....we left the home in impeccable shape upon leaving, and the owner said there were "smudges" on the front door and a "black stain" on a bed spread that would need to be replaced, as well as garbage left on the floors. We left the home spotless. She AUTOMATICALLY charged me an additional $150 on the credit card I have on file with no pictures to prove there were any damages with multiple requests for them. We are very familiar with Eagles Mere and knew what we were getting into. This is a very small community where everyone knows everyone. But being told that there would be people watching with binoculars to see if we were using the dock without paying the fee was a bit much. Overall again the home was stunning. Just beware that you will incur multiple additional fees above the listing to say here.

Perfect Family Weekend
My family stayed in this lovely home for 6 days. The young children (ages 5&7) had a blast with the games and space inside the home. The property had a plethora of activities available. This included a large yard for yard games, picnics, and then the lake for fishing and boating. The adults enjoyed the wonderful dining area for meals, games, and sweet conversations. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything that we needed. The beds were comfortable and we had more than ample space for all of us. We hope to use it for a larger group of friends in the future. Thank you for a wonderful fall weekend.

Perfect place for a writing retreat
We absolutely loved our stay at Huckle Chuckle! It provided us with plenty of space to spread out and do some writing. We loved the big living room for use in the evenings where we would each take a turn sharing our writing and feedback. Love the gas fireplace! Though it was chilly outside, we still got in some nice porch time and a walk around the lake. Highly recommend this for a group retreat!

Wonderful Family Gathering to Celebrate My Dads Life
This home was perfect for our family to gather to celebrate my Dads life. We had a gathering of 18 family members and the home was comfortable and very well equipped! Communication with the owners was top notch, the location was beautiful. The home is beautifully unique, with surprises around every corner. We all would definitely come back for another family reunion.

Bad water - too long to fix.
Historic, large deck, plenty of room and right on the lake. No real comfortable furniture (mostly patio and wicker chairs). But we were a large group and could overlook that. What was lacking was water; the smell (sulfur) was present throughout all spigots. We contacted their plumber and waited a day, then contacted the owners. The owners doubted our claims, but did send a Culligan rep to service the water treatment system. That rep did not show up until Thursday (2 days before we left). The smell was still present, but lessening with every use from that point. Owners offered a rate reduction as apology, but have not delivered. My advice to the next short term tenants - sample the water before you pay.

Comfortable Charming Quirky
A charming, quirky home that easily accommodated 14 adults. It rained several day while we were there, but there were games and puzzles and plenty of seating in the living area and on the covered back deck. The back deck has a lovely view (through the trees) of the lake. It's an easy walk to town or to the lake. The yard is spacious, we played badminton and corn hole. There is a nice fire pit in the backyard and you can walk down to the trail that circles the lake. A lovely, relaxing home.

Eagles Mere is a hidden gem. We felt as if we were in a movie set the entire weekend. The house is charming and well stocked, the owners are amazing - responsive and kind.
