NEW Listing: LAKEFRONT Home w/ Dock, Theater Room, Firepit. Near Mystic, Casinos

Escape to our rustic lakefront home in Griswold, CT. Our home is on an oversized lot giving you plenty of privacy and space to enjoy the waterfront. Enjoy the beautiful views (the sunsets are particularly spectacular) from multiple outdoor seating areas, the dock, or the 2 firepits. There is also a balcony off of the large king size bedroom. This home rental includes the use of the kayak at no charge.

The house is direct waterfront on Ashland Lake, a ponded section of the Pachaug River in Griswold, CT. You can fish, swim, kayak, canoe, and more in the extremely picturesque waters right off the grassy backyard of our cottage home. Use our kayak or bring your own if you prefer - you can boat right from our personal dock in the backyard.

Although you will want to spend as much time as possible enjoying the water and the views we have gone the extra mile to make all aspects of our waterfront house feel like home.

Inside you will find a game room that is perfect for all ages and a home theater room with a large projector screen. The game room also includes a new bunk bed and a Pac-Man arcade game. The main floor of the lake house includes the living room with a tv and plenty of seating, fully stocked kitchen, full bathroom, a queen sized bedroom, and a king size bedroom which has it's own sitting area, desk, and balcony that overlooks the water. Pets are also welcome with a paid pet fee. 

Important: Sheets and towels ARE included with your stay. They are washed before and after every guest, feel free to use the laundry room during your stay as needed as well. We also provide a starter pack of paper towels, toilet paper, toiletries, cleaning products, soaps, detergent, sponges, k cups, nespresso pods, and tea!

Great place to stay

Absolutely loved our stay! It was everything we expected from the pictures and description. Kayaking on the lake was relaxing. It is just far enough away from the hustle and bustle to be convenient and secluded. We will absolutely be back.

Amazing fall location

The sunset over the lake is fantastic and the leaves were all changing. There is a lot of room in the house and it is in great shape and clean. Would recommend for a getaway. It is a long ways from a major city but shopping is not that far away. Very peaceful location

Nice Place for a Getaway

Our family of 2 teens and mother and father stayed in the house with plenty of room. Each kid had their own space and the place was clean and well decorated for the Christmas season which was a nice bonus. The only drawback was the beds were very uncomfortable .

Weekend Disc Golf Trip

We rented this lake house during the last weekend of winter. It was too cold to go in the water but convenient to a handful of great disc golf courses. The house is comfortable and seems to be in the process of upgrade. The peaceful pond view and the backyard would make a nice summer setting.

Really nice stay

I liked this property a lot. It is private, on a beautiful lake/pond and it has a great deck area with two fire pits, a hammock and a picnic table. It is very quiet and peaceful. There are a few issues. The area by the house is not appropriate for swimming as it has lots of vegetation etc. to be fair, the owners were upfront about this so no surprises. The middle of the lake is much more clear. Also there is a public beach 5 minutes away with great swimming and hiking etc. The house itself was nice. The basement is fun with an arcade game in it. It does smell a bit like mildew but that was manageable. The owners were highly responsive and helpful. All in All in I had a fun time at this house and was not disappointed.

Review

So this is a 2 bedroom and a basement with beds. The basement "room" was very cold. My kids froze down there. Only one mirror in a house that says it sleeps 8. The entertainment room is part of the basement with the bunkbeds and has a projector that projects on a wall in the room. The lake is pretty and they do have kayaks and vests, that was a perk. The patio and fire pit area was spring covered, leaves and sticks. The fire pit had a huge pile of debree in it and we were afraid to light it as it was under a tree. Neighborhood was quiet but we didnt expect the trailor park next door. With anything you make the best of it.

Griswold lake house

We gave it a 3. swimming was not available from the dock….unfortunately the cove is weed choked in July, fishing was decent…best maybe later in the fall when the leaves fall and the water temps drop….that was a little disappointing, with a Kayak you could easily reach the main lake which was open mostly but the you'd need to be able to exit and regain your float to swim which we we not ready to attempt….we did find very nice water 3 minutes drive away at the state park. The house was fine other than the shower and vanity plumbing which while serviceable was unusual to operate and possible a scold hazard for someone. We did report some cleaning issues that the host agreed they’d look into. We did not request any return of our cleaning fee but some offer from the host along those lines would have made us feel more whole …but that didn’t happen. Over all we made the best of it and enjoyed our week a lot. The location is super if you want to visit Ledyard, Uncasville, Mystic, or even Newport.

From the photos in the listing and other reviews we we expecting much more. The outside of the property is not maintained well and severely impeded the use of the grounds as depicted in the listing.The inside of the property, especially the "theater room" needed attention as well.

We were in the area for a wedding in Connecticut and visiting family in Massachusetts. The location was perfect being in the middle of both events. Its a very quiet neighborhood.

Nice escape in winter

It's a gorgeous property and would be amazing in warmer weather. It was mostly clean. One star loss as the downstairs while set up for children is not safe. The sticky corner padding kept coming off and the screws used for the level change stick out for easy cuts. Also in the colder weather it's freezing down then
