About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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

“Huckle Chuckle” is the perfect cottage for a large family vacation. It ‘s a short 10 minute walk to the private beach and to our quaint village stores. This amazingly well-preserved historic cottage's most special attribute is its large, comfortable, porch where families can gather.
There are plenty of activities for all ages in our private lake community, including swimming, sailing, canoeing, paddle boarding, windsurfing & hiking. Because it’s a private lake all renters need to register with the Eagles Mere Association at least 3 days prior to check in and purchase a temporary membership. They will also need the names of the people staying in the cottage as you’ll need to check in at the beach desk. Base rates $240. for 1-4 guests. $300. for 5-10 guests. $420. for 11 plus guests.
If you’re interested in golf or pickle ball you can obtain a visitor’s membership to the Eagles Mere Country Club. HC There is a lovely restaurant in the club as well as some outside dining in the summer on the porch and by the fire pit. Please visit their website: eaglesmerecc.com for information.

There are plenty of other activities for all ages in our private lake community & some call Eagles Mere an “adult summer camp”. Please visit this website to purchase your temporary membership, http://eaglesmereassociationfatcow.com/temporary-membership.html

Great scenic and historical property

We greatly enjoyed an eclectic and roomy historical property! Great view, well inventoried kitchen, very roomy, we had 12 men and seated everyone for meals, great fire pit, and a cool historic yet homey vibe. Would be a great place for a multi family vacation. Kids would love the place.

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.

A place with CHARM!

The place was comfortable and inviting with plenty of room to move around and gather together. We stayed on a rather unusually cold week and the gas heating system had a bit of a learning curve but once we got things working it went well. Enjoyed the extra parking spaces on the side street. Glad to have had the full kitchen and large dining table to gather around. Will stay again!

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.

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!

Wonderful Girls Retreat

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. Everything was clean and prepared for anything you think you may need during your stay. We enjoyed the large fireplace room, the firepit, and walking the Laurel Path. We throughly enjoyed the abundant historical information about the home and the area. We are already planning our next trip!

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!
