What better way to end a great day at the race track than with total peace and quiet relaxation in the cottage overlooking the 13-acre lake at this very private location. "On Golden Pond" comes to mind when you sit on the covered porch or open deck watching wildlife along the water's edge, surrounded by natural woods.
The lake has plenty of largemouth bass and brim, and you're welcome to fish while staying at Merrybrook. Several bass over 5 lbs were caught and released in recent years (as of 2025). 7 lbs 2 oz was caught and released May 2025.
Merrybrook Cottage is on the Villa Cathedral property but has a separate driveway and is isolated from the Villa Cathedral farmhouse by a stand of woods and approx. 1000 ft.
"Rustic" in setting and décor, the cottage has 3 bedrooms with 2 baths and sleeps at least 5 comfortably. Each bedroom has a queen bed . Two of the bedrooms has an additional twin bed.
Both bathrooms have been completely redone (as of May 2025) so we now have 2 full baths with walk-in showers. Additionally there is now a washer and dryer in the upstairs bathroom. Pictures have been updated.
“Very peaceful place, great to go home to away from the busy race weekend.”
