A Mansion on the Lake
Everyone in our group of 12 enjoyed their stay. The ages rnged fron 12 to 80. There was fishing from the dock and the provided canoe, kayak, and SUPs. The ducks and beaver swam by everyday. There was lots of swimming. A nightly fire in the big fire pit. A corn hole tournament of the lagrge green space in front of the house. Also room to set set up a badminton net. Only one hot night, otherwise it was open windows every day and night. The whole house fan really worked pulling in the cool air then pullingg it thru the house. A front screen door would have been nice. Dish washing would have been easier if the light over the sink had worked. A suggestion to the owner is to replace all the interior lights with LEDs. The kitchen was well equipped. Interesting to not there was a great microwave oven! However all the dinner and dessert plates were marked non-microwaveable. Either a knife sharpener or a few more "sharp" knives would have been welcome. Visited the Gillette Castle, needed a reservation so did not get inside. Also visited Mystic, if you go be sure to buy an ice cream at the Drawbridge Ice Cream Shop and say hi to Connor. We also made a trip to the beach! One final wish; it would have been nice if the owner provided a guest book to sign and a history of the house. It was pretty amazing.

This property was perfect for our extended family of 18, ages 3-70.
We had a wonderful vacation at this property. So much space with room to spare. We never used the 3rd floor since it was just too hot, but we still had plenty of room for 18 of us. Lived the large yard and the waterfront deck (shaded by the trees) was great. Such a quiet, peaceful place. Thank you for sharing this property!

Amazing Week
My family, ages 14 to 77 spent a week at this exceptional home and memories were made every day. Everything was there that one would want, weather it was for cooking, entertainment or just plain comfort. The house had many different gathering areas, we never felt crowded. Most of our time was spent outdoors playing lawn games or in the crystal clear lake. Thank you for sharing that treasure with us. Hopefully we will return.
