Great communication with Michael. We were able to check in early. When I told him we didn’t have enough towels, he had additional delivered the next morning. Very comfortable beds. Great kayaking out of the yard. Beautiful view!
The view from the deck was serene and peaceful. Perfect little getaway location.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
The house has a lot of potential but needs some work. The floors were not clean when we got there, had been vacuumed but clearly not mopped causing a gritty layer. Some of the windows don’t have screens and there were a number of flies in the house when we got there, despite not opening these windows. Check in was easy and the hosts were friendly and responsive. The house has been updated but the new counters in the kitchen hung too low, past the top of the door to the dishwasher making it impossible to open it. The hammock outside is torn up and the yard is a bit of a mess. Overall, it was fine. Had the space advertised and the beds were clean. We opted not to ask to have anything addressed as we weren’t there long and didn’t want to deal with someone coming in to clean or fix anything so I can’t speak to that.
My husbands birthday week and he loves fishing and kayaking and this was a perfect spot

We enjoyed our stay. It was quiet and had everything we needed in the house. Check in was very easy. Will consider staying here again if we are in the area.
My family and I had a lovely stay at the lake house. The house was the perfect jumping off point for exploring the Mystic area and it was well stocked with anything we'd need. Would definitely stay again!
The property is near casinos, great restaurants, and many other attractions. The check-in process was very efficient, and the communication with the host was top-notch. The lake is absolutely gorgeous and picturesq
We had an amazing stay at this beautiful lake house! The views were stunning, and the house itself was clean, cozy, and well-equipped with everything we needed. We especially loved spending mornings on the deck with coffee and evenings by the water. It's the perfect spot for a relaxing getaway, and we can't wait to come back!
We were in the area for a wedding in Connecticut and visiting family in Massachusetts. The location was perfect being in the middle of both events. Its a very quiet neighborhood. All amenities were as stated in the listing. The bed in the main bedroom is very comfortable. We will come back if we are in the area again.bedroom was very cconformable.
Absolutely loved our stay! It was everything we expected from the pictures and description. Kayaking on the lake was relaxing. It is just far enough away from the hustle and bustle to be convenient and secluded. We will absolutely be back.
Stayed there durring the weekend of my sister in laws wedding down in mystic. Nice lake house. A little hard to find in the middle of the night after our flight arrived.
Beautiful,peaceful place to spend time in the fall,highly recommend.

Why they chose this property
The first time we visited this lake house we knew it was the perfect vacation home for our family. When we drove up to the house we parked and immediately walked to the patio to take in the view. In that moment I knew I was home. Soaking up the crisp autumn New England air I closed my eyes and listened to the sounds around me - our small children running through the large backyard, the ducks calling out, and finally the sound of the water lapping up against the dock. These are the sights and sounds that memories are made of - and that photos and videos just cannot capture completely. The is no doubt about it, this is the perfect lakefront cottage for our family. We take immense pride in our lake home and are thrilled to be able to host guests who will hopefully love it just as much as we do.
