While the house itself has plenty to explore, the "Belgian style farmhouse" as it is called on Vrbo, comes with a private beach and dock. This area provides all season activities on the lake side, including fishing, ice skating, kayaking, and paddle boarding. Multiple rail trails are a short distance away, for hiking or cross-country skiing, depending on the time of year.

Vrbo describes Copley’s Lakefront Cottage as a Belgian-style farmhouse with a private beach "for boating and swimming in the summer, and ice skating and fishing during the winter." It's located on Lake Monomonac, along the Massachusetts and New Hampshire border.
