About this property

Quaint cottage located directly on Long Meadow Pond

Wonderful lakefront cottage with a sun porch, sunny deck, 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, beautiful sunsets, and your own private boat dock. Enjoy a quiet family getaway as you relax on the deck while your kids fish and swim. Ideal for families looking to relax and disconnect.

The kitchen is fully outfitted and cottage includes a gas grill, heat, and air conditioning. You will also have the use of kayaks, paddle boards, a canoe, and a row boat. Pond only allows electric motors (motor not provided) so it is nice and quiet. We have numerous fishing poles, fishing tackle, and life jackets of all sizes.

Includes cable and Wi-Fi.

The cottage does NOT include a dishwasher or washer/dryer. The laundromat is named Washerwoman of Litchfield. They can be reached at 860-567-9917.

The cottage is located 2 hours from NYC and fifteen minutes from local wineries and beautiful Connecticut sightseeing including hiking trails at White Memorial (White Memorial is a 4000-acre nature preserve with miles of hiking and biking trails--trail map available at the cottage). Wonderful restaurants and shopping are located in nearby Litchfield, CT. We also have many board games, Foosball, old fashioned Atari, a Wii, and air hockey. There is also a host of DVD's and a DVD player, as well.

The cottage outfitted with both heat and A/C and also makes a perfect winter get away. The lake is great for ice skating and ice fishing. We are also a short drive to several downhill ski mountains including Mohawk Mountain and Ski Sundown and close by to White Memorial for cross country skiing.

I would be happy to discuss the cottage details and welcome you over the phone. I do not plan to meet you at the cottage.

Cottage was exactly what we needed for an extended hockey weekend. Was close to all our destinations. Thankful that all the snow was removed from the parking area. Would like to stay again only in warmer weather. Was a bummer that none of us had cell service in the cottage

Far and away the pond was the highlight of our stay: hearing the chorus of peepers from up close while kayaking at dusk, and bird-watching from the deck. Gorgeous lake view and lots of flotation options. :-) The cottage is well-equippped with games, foosball (though we didn't play--we were so focused on the pond and hiking nearby). The host had great communication. We had some trouble with the entry lock which we think maybe just needs fixing. It's a well-loved cottage: the bed frames are perhaps a bit worn and the bunk beds might be a challenge for adults. But overall an ideal location. We highly recommend walking the nearby Beaver Pond loop (astonishingly large Beaver dams). Good food options nearby. And just soooo peaceful! (No gas motors allowed on the lake). Good value. Spring turned out to be a perfect time to be there! Thank you to our host!

We had a good stay at MiMis cottage. Honestly it felt like Mimi passed and it went straight to Vrbo. Disappointed I had to bring my own sheets and towels and didn’t find out until the night before we left. The bed was the proto-type for Sleep Number or maybe I just couldn’t find the right number. Ran out of TP our last night. I chose to not bother Maura with that though. The kitchen was fully stocked. The house was clean. Just needs a little updating. The view was peaceful. Wish it was warmer during our visit!

About the host

Hosted by Maura

Host profile image
Back in 1995, my grandmother wanted to find a peaceful cottage to spend her summers. After looking at many cottages at many lakes, she chose Kasson Grove to spend her time. A peaceful and quiet area, she enjoyed herself immensely and had many gathering with her friends and family year after year until her passing.

Since taking over the cottage with my brother, we have striven to keep things simple and quiet. We have done many cottage updates over the years, the last being a new roof and air conditioning in 2019.

My brother and I, along with the rest of our extended family, have enjoyed the lake cottage so much over the years. However, now that our own children are getting older and busier, we have decided that others should also have the opportunity to enjoy a quiet and restful retreat. We began renting the cottage in the last few years, and continue to listen to suggestions to make your stay as enjoyable as possible.

Why they chose this property

This property is exceptional for those families and couples who are looking to get away to enjoy the splendors of nature. Set directly on Long Meadow Pond, the views, sunsets, and peaceful area will win you over immediately. There are enough "water toys" for the entire family to enjoy together, and with comfortable climate control, cable, WiFi, and a host of games and movies, it's the perfect getaway. Also, the community boasts its own private beach, as well.

What makes this property unique

Comfort, quiet, and relaxation so close to home is just what the doctor ordered for you and your family. Private enough to feel like your 1000 miles away from home, yet close enough to make your stay a reality. Only minutes from shopping and restaurants, yet set in such a peaceful area, is a benefit that stands out above all others.
