5 Bedroom House in Standish

This charming semi-historic house is truly unlike any other. Perfectly situated on the eastern shore of beautiful and clean Watchic Lake, you will enjoy abundant sun in the back yard with 100 feet of water frontage great for swimming, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, or just lounging by the water or on the dock. The house is a spacious three story building with a full kitchen, living room, formal dining room, five bedrooms, laundry area, and two and a half bathrooms. Lovely antique furnishings, wood flooring, and ten foot ceilings on the first floor lend elements of elegance to the house, but what makes it truly remarkable are the porches. The house boasts 2200 square feet of magnificent enclosed porches wrapping around three sides of the first two floors. During the summer months, there is hardly any need for the inner rooms, as the porches provide accommodations for relaxing, recreation and entertainment, eating meals, and even sleeping. These amazing porches make this property truly unlike any other available, and are sure to make your stay here memorable.
Watchic Lake (or Watchic Pond) is a clean and quiet 443 acre lake with a maximum depth of 41 feet. A variety of fish species inhabit the lake, including bass, perch, and pickerel. Several loons and families of ducks also call this lake home. The lake is fed by springs and a small stream, and is drained by two streams, one at each end. Several small privately owned islands can be found near the center of the lake. To date, no invasive aquatic plants have been found in Watchic Lake.
Please note that although this property can comfortably sleep a large number of people, the maximum occupancy of 8 people is strictly enforced to maintain the quality of the lake and to prevent overwhelming the single family septic system.

Summary: We had 4 generations of family that head the pleasure of visiting this week. The best memories were made! Our grandchildren did want the week to end
Maureen C. Dec 14, 2023 01:00:14 PM
Summary: For the first time, all of the family stayed under one roof since leaving our parent's home. What an amazing time. The Little Gatsby afforded plenty of individual space as well as many opportunities to gather for food, games, and reminiscing. The Host was clear with expectations and what was needed for us to be successful with our first VRBO rental and everything was as advertised. It has become a treasured family memory, we all hope to revisit again in the future.

Summary: We have stayed at that lake a few times and this has been one of the best vacations of all. We had a very warm and sunny 2 weeks even for the end of August. We enjoyed fishing, swimming, kayaking, playing games, and doing the scavenger hunt. The house was very accommodating and had all the conveniences of home. We are already looking forward to next year in hopes we can again rent this very lovely property.

Summary: The Little Gatsby was everything we hoped it would be and lived up to everything promised on the website. There was plenty of room for our party of seven adults. You really only need to bring your clothes and high expectations. Michael was very attentive through the whole process. I highly recommend the Little Gatsby; you’ll enjoy every minute of your stay.

Summary: Property is beautiful inside and out. Swimming kayaking and canoeing was great! We love this lake and this property. Even the teen and the tweens loved it!
Raymond S. Oct 22, 2022 11:03:02 PM
Summary: The family and I had a great stay at this location, the Little Gatsby was incredible. We had ample room so whether we were gathering for conversation or looking for a quiet corner to read a book in, there was always to sit and be comfortable. The amenities were as described in the listing and there were no disappointments whatsoever. We would definitely book there again!
Ryan P. Oct 12, 2022 02:55:09 AM
Summary: Host went out of his way to make our stay as pleasant as it could be. House was very nice, plenty of space, very sound proof between rooms which was great with some early risers in the family. Setting was incredibly serene, could not beat the sunset views on the lake. Already talking with my family about renting here again.
Jenny S. Sep 26, 2022 08:18:20 AM
Summary: Such a relaxing, beautiful spot! Michael’s home on Lake Watchic is a cozy, historic gem. We enjoyed our stay so much and hope to return. Super clean, thoughtful touches throughout and awesome communication with Michael.
