Cottage in Chester

Updated cottage "Beriozka" on Cedar Lake

Originally from Russia (hence the name “Beriozka” meaning Birch Tree) I live in Stamford CT. About 7-8 years ago I’ve discovered Chester/ Essex area and fell in love. I’ve been coming here during summer to enjoy river rides, during winter just to see snow on the ground of old towns and needless to say during fall – when all the beauty of nature unfolds. Then came an idea to have an own place here and when an opportunity came to buy this small cottage on Cedar Lake I’ve jumped on it.

The Boathouse, private downtown Harborside suite

ZoeRating, 5 stars5 days ago

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Clean, Comfortable, and Thoughtfully Prepared! We had a great stay! The place was spotless, quiet, and exactly what we needed for a few nights of good sleep and hot showers. It was clear that the host put thought into making guests feel welcome—there was a mini chocolate bar and a bottle of water waiting for each of us when we arrived, which was such a kind touch after a long day of travel. Check-in was smooth, the bed was comfortable, and everything worked perfectly. While we didn’t spend much time there beyond resting, it was the perfect place to recharge. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a clean, convenient, and cozy spot!

My husband and I stayed at Peter's lake house from June 9th to the 12th. We found the home to be clean and bright, as well as spacious. The bed we slept in was comfortable with soft linens, and both bathrooms were clean with plenty of towels. It's a quiet neighborhood and although we didn't use the backyard, we found it to be private with a nice patio. The last minute tasks before check out were very basic. Peter was a great host, very welcoming and communicative. We felt right at home staying at his house and we would definitely book it again!
