The cottage sits across the street from Amston Lake—about 50 yards from the water—with direct beach access via a nearby public right-of-way. Amston Lake is described as a pristine 188-acre retreat spanning Hebron and Lebanon. On-site, outdoor features include a patio, outdoor grill, and a fireplace for cozy evenings.
