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.

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

quiet relaxing
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 !!

Nice Spot
While we picked probably the hottest, most humid week of the summer to come, this spot was a fantastic little getaway. It was just too humid to truly get out on the kayaks or two spend too much time on the porch, but the view was great every morning and every night. We had our dogs with us and they settled in nicely. The surrounding area is quiet and safe. The accommodations were very clean and comfortable. Yes, you will see the occasional ant, but there were traps laid and they were minimal. The A/C ran the entire time we were there and kept things nice and cool for us. We didn’t use (or need) the downstairs bedroom - though there did seem to be some sort of sour smell to that room. Could use a candle or something. Unfortunately the Keurig seemed to be on the fritz as it leaked when we tried to use it the first morning. Owners were more than willing to send another one, but we spent most of the week in day trips so it was a non issue. Make sure to bring some basics (paper towels, napkins, salt, pepper, butter, cooking oil, etc). The kitchen is small and basic. Has everything you need in terms of pots, pans, utensils, plates, etc. All in all - a solid location - very comfortable bed. Nice property.

Poison Ivy
While the house was great, there were no mosquitoes and the owners responded quickly to most issues that we had, there was a massive amount of poison ivy growing among the english ivy going from the parking area, down both sides and through the steps and on two sides of the first yard terrace (there were 3 or 4 levels - we didn't go any further than the first level). Unfortunately, we didn't notice the poison ivy until we were walking back UP the steps. I am highly allergic. Husband put a plastic bag over his arm and pulled what was growing through the steps so we could safely traverse back and forth to the car, and we parked facing in rather than backing in, but we didn't use the yard, kayaks or lake at all because we weren't sure if there was more. I will be on steroids for the next two weeks. Not the ending to a vacation weekend that I was looking for.

Great Trip - Would Stay Again
I recently had the pleasure of staying at this stunning lake house during the fall season, and it was nothing short of spectacular. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. The lake house was equipped with everything one could possibly need for a memorable stay. The fully stocked kitchen allowed us to cook delicious meals while enjoying the view, and the outdoor deck and patio were ideal for sipping coffee in the crisp morning air or sharing a glass of wine as the sun set over the lake. The provided kayaks allowed for fun and exploration on the water, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to the experience. Would definitely stay again
