Stylish Modern WATERFRONT Cottage Near Mystic and Casinos
Charming modern open floor plan lakeside cottage in Griswold, CT. Our home is directly on the lake.

Take in the sunset at dinner time or while using the outdoor firepit. There is a king sized loft bedroom upstairs and a second queen sized bedroom downstairs. There is one fully updated bathroom.
The house is direct waterfront on Ashland Lake, a ponded section of the Pachaug River in Griswold, CT. You can fish, swim, kayak, canoe, and more right off the grassy backyard of our cottage home. Use our kayaks or bring your own if you prefer - you can boat right from our personal dock in the backyard.
