Best Amenities

Have stayed at several VRBO properties and this was the best so far. Did lots of special things like a snack tray upon arrival & lots of notes around the house on how things worked.

Fun weekend at Lake House

We spent labor day weekend at the house as a family and had a fantastic time. The owners were very thorough and detailed in all their communications and made it easy. The house was clean, updated and had all the amenities. The large back deck overlooking the lake was fantastic, especially in the early morning as the fog lifted off the lake. We all enjoyed the kyaks and paddleboards and took out the canoe for some fishing. I recommended the house to family members and would stay again in the future.

So relaxing and gorgeous!

What a beautiful property! The porch is amazing! The host has everything you need for a week on a lake! It’s a quiet neighborhood and so peaceful! Clean, beautifully decorated and a nice escape from life. Perfect for our vacation to see friends all over CT! We lived nearby for about 10 years and never knew there was a lake In Harwinton! Thank you for a wonderful week!
