Welcome to The Cottage at Sunny Day

A stylish and VERY bright 3BR/3 Bath lakefront house with private lake access offers the perfect stay for every season.

Kayak and paddle-board from dock to explore this beautiful, pristine lake. Property has 1 Kayak and 1 Paddle Board, life preservers and fishing rods are shared with sister house next door.

Taunton Lake is consistently ranked one of the cleanest lakes in CT and is well stocked with brown, rainbow and brook trout; large- and small-mouth bass; and white and yellow perch. No motorized boats are permitted making the lake quiet and peaceful.

Perfect house on the lake, offering beauty and tranquility all year!

We invite you to relax & unwind, wake up to serene lake views.

The Cottage is adjacent to its sister property SUNNY DAY and is excellent for a family getaway, a relaxing weekend, or just a place to work remotely. Rent alone or inquire about renting alongside Sunny Day to enjoy more family and/or friends.

The home is a short distance from local breweries, wineries, boat rentals, grocery stores, coffee, and shopping. And if you want to hit the Big Apple, New York City is 75 miles away.
