The Host was very responsive. The home, however, was not as cozy as we had expected given the pictures online. There was also a strong unpleasant smell throughout the house that required us to purchase air spray and open the windows for ventilation.

The house is cute but very small. In the pictures it looks bigger, also the stairs to the second floor are very steep and narrow so not ideal for older people. The house was also not clean very well. We found a dirty sweater and half full bottle of water in one of the rooms, a chewed dog bone full of hair in the living room couch, a bloom stain in one of the beds and there were also a few hair balls on the kitchen floor. If cleaned properly is not that bad.

The house was as advertised. Neighborhood is quaint enjoyed our morning walks to the lake. We were visiting our son at UCONN and location was convenient to campus, the Hartford football and basketball arenas (15 minutes to all). Loved the Woke Breakfast and Coffee spot in Coventry so much that we went both mornings. One "watch out", the house is an older lake cottage and may not be ideal for people with mobility issues. Stairway to second floor is steep and narrow and rooms are small and would be difficult for a cane or walker. That was not an issue for us, but have rented VRBO's with elderly family members so that information is sometimes important for us.

Not as expected

After reading reviews and property information I expected a much better experience. There was a musty smell that did not go away with open windows, warped floors, and peeling paint. The place was clean but run down. I did not want to take a shower there. The shower was clean but old. Most windows did not have screens. The bed linens were clean but mattresses were not super comfortable. While we typically enjoy our stays with VRBO and have never left a bad review I don’t want to mislead the next guests. Maybe in the summer it is better since it’s by a lake and the place can air out.

Loved the property but had a few bumps

Cute cottage that fit our needs. The lake is beautiful and close by. Kitchen was great. However, we had issues 2 nights in a row with chirping smoke alarms and finally got a new battery to fix the issue ourself. Was not happy with the manager not getting it fixed sooner. Also, the bikes were not as shown on the picture and we were not able to ride them since they were rusty, low tires, and had 2 children's bikes (we were all adults). That was a real disappointment since we wanted to ride. Overall, it's a cute property in a great location and wonderful yard, but there were some issues during our stay.

cute and comfortable cottage

We had a nice 3 night stay at this cottage. It was comfortable and the AC worked great (it was hot that week). The lake is clean and we had the beach to ourselves the first day. The one major downfall was that the kayaks are not at the beach. In all the online photos the only kayak pic is at the beach on kayak storage racks, leading one to believe they are kept at the beach. This was a big reason I booked this location, only to discover the kayaks are at the house and it's not easy to get them to the beach (or back, since that's uphill). The owner was responsive and dropped off a couple kayak dollies which helped but still frustrating as I feel the listing was purposely misleading. The rest of the visit was lovely and enjoyable. The neighborhood is quiet and safe and the neighbors are nice. We enjoyed ice cream from the UConn dairy bar, had fun playing mini golf nearby, and mostly just enjoyed relaxing on the beach. The lake is really shallow which makes it great for kids!

I had some concerns prior to my arrival and Joe was amazing, addressing them immediately. The property is very nice, neighborhood is great, lake was beautiful. Cottage had everything we needed, kitchen was fully stocked with dishes and utensils - even provided paper plates and plastic utensils if you don’t want to do dishes. Sufficient pots, pans and cooking tools, even included BBQ tools. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit, was able to rest and relax as desired.

Some R and R by Coventry Lake

This is a lovely spot. The blue and white theme was very cheerful. We found the beds to be very comfy. It was handy to have a bedroom on the first floor. It was a lovely neighborhood of cottages and some larger houses. We didn't bike or kayak, but it was great to have the option. It was a short walk to the lake, and there's a small parking lot if needed. I recommend the UCONN dairy bar for ice cream, and there was a pizza place very close by that was very good. UCONN also has an art museum and a small sports museum. Great trip, thanks !
