I had a phenomenal stay at this cottage in Coventry for several weeks. Joe was highly responsive and proactive in his communication, the amenities were excellent, and the location peaceful. It had everything I could need for my extended stay and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable getaway!

Perfect UCONN adjacent hide-away!
this spot was the perfect hideaway for me while my daughter was at an interview weekend at UCONN. I was looking for a unique and comfortable spot to stay tucked away and get some work done. This house was right on the money. so much character. beautiful environment with a full immersive 'backyard' view of woods and lake. feels secluded while being just down the road from main campus. Process was easy. place is great...clean and chalk full of amenities and charm. Owner was a pleasure. I highly recommend and look forward to my next stay.
