Relaxing

This is a nice place to stay that is not too far from home, but far enough for it to feel like you’re on a weekend getaway. Beautiful location that has access to calm and relaxing weekend or you’re up for some more active weekend getaway like fishing, swimming and kayaking

A peaceful trip on a beautiful spto

This is a lovely property in a fantastic position and just what we needed for a weekend break from New York. The weather meant we didn’t really get a chance to use the outdoor areas as much as we’d hoped but we had everything we needed indoors. Michael responded really quickly to any questions we had and check-in and check-out were very easy. We’d highly recommend this cottage

Great weekend on the lake. Cottage is very cosy, it's clean and well maintained, easy to get to from the highway. Kayaks were great and there are no bigger boats on the lake so it was safe for the kids to kayak together too. We would stay again

Cottage in Connecticut

We rented the cottage property because it was close to family. Both the kitchen and bathroom has been update- we did not do any cooking during our stay so can’t comment on that area. But we really appreciate the instant hot water in the bathroom. We stayed in the upstairs bedroom which was comfy with lots of closet space and room.

The best part was no noisy neighbors. The landscaping and area was very nice ! The home is clean, we had just anything necessary to make ourselves at home and enjoy ! There are steps so it wouldn't suit some people. I loved the open kitchen feel and we didn't turn on the tv even once ! Very simple, nice rental !!! Also, very nice lake views from big sliding doors !!
