Charming Lakeside Cottage on Lake Pocotopaug – A Peaceful Retreat for All Seasons
Welcome to your perfect getaway at this newly renovated waterfront cottage on Lake Pocotopaug in East Hampton, Connecticut. This peaceful and charming three-bedroom, two-bathroom home is designed for comfort and relaxation, offering stunning views of the lake and a serene atmosphere to help you unwind. New to the rental market in 2023, this cozy retreat invites you to experience all four seasons in the beauty of Connecticut’s countryside.
Whether you're enjoying summer swims off the dock, admiring the brilliant foliage of fall, cozying up by the fire in winter, or watching the gardens bloom in spring, Sunset Cove offers a year-round escape filled with natural beauty and comfort.
Cozy Comfort and Beautiful Lake Views
At 1,430 square feet, the cottage feels open and airy while offering all the comfort you need for a restful stay. The upper level is a bright and welcoming space with hardwood floors and lots of windows that bring in natural light and showcase breathtaking lake views. The living area has comfy seating in front of a large-screen TV, perfect for movie nights, and a propane fireplace to warm up by when the weather gets cool. There’s also a small work nook with a view of the water for those who need to stay connected.
A stylish sliding barn door leads to a private hallway with two individual bedrooms, each with views of the lake. One bedroom has a king-sized bed, while the other has a queen. A completely updated bathroom rounds out the upstairs living area, giving you everything you need to feel at home.
Updated Kitchen and Dining
The lower level of the cottage is all about convenience and ease, with a fully updated kitchen featuring beautiful maple cabinets and brand-new stainless steel appliances. Whether you’re preparing a simple meal or a special family dinner, you’ll appreciate the kitchen’s thoughtful design. There’s plenty of space to enjoy your meals, with a breakfast counter in the kitchen and a dining area that overlooks the lake.
The back bedroom on the lower level features two twin beds that can be combined into a king if needed, making this room ideal for friends or family. This floor also has a separate laundry room, a second remodeled bathroom with a relaxing spa tub, and easy access to the outdoor living spaces.
Relax Outdoors and Enjoy the Views
Step outside to truly embrace the charm of this lakeside retreat. The outdoor spaces offer something for everyone. The upper deck features comfortable seating and expansive views of the lake—perfect for sipping coffee in the morning or winding down after a day of activities. On the lower level, the deck is sculpted with beautiful bluestone and equipped with cozy furniture and lawn swings, providing a perfect spot to relax and take in the natural surroundings.
The outdoor wicker dining set is perfect for enjoying meals outdoors while watching the stunning sunsets over the lake. One of the highlights of the cottage is the enchanting underwater seascape and mermaid mural that greets you in the entryway—adding a whimsical touch that captures the spirit of this lakefront retreat.
Fun by the Water and Access to Community Beaches
The property has a private dock that is available from May through September. It’s the perfect place for sunbathing, swimming, or fishing right off the dock, and during warmer months, you can take out one of the kayaks or paddleboards to explore the lake at your leisure. Whether you’re a fan of water activities or simply enjoy relaxing by the water, the private dock is a wonderful feature that enhances your stay.
This home also belongs to the Princess Pocotopaug community, which offers access to two private beaches just a short walk down the street.

About the host
Hosted by Kris Pawlak
We’ve lived in East Hampton for over 25 years, and this beautiful town holds a special place in our hearts. Alan, a local, knows the history of our charming area inside and out, and we love sharing it with our guests. We work, live, and play here, and we’re excited to help you discover everything this wonderful location has to offer.
In addition to our East Hampton property, we also manage a lovely retreat called Deer Run in Chittenden, Vermont. With both properties, we specialize in creating memorable experiences by paying attention to all the little details that make a stay truly special. Whether you’re visiting Sunset Cove on Lake Pocotopaug or Deer Run in Vermont, we strive to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.
We’ve put together comprehensive welcome books and a digital guide on-site, packed with our top recommendations for things to do, places to eat, and must-see spots.
When we’re not hosting, we enjoy spending time with our grown children and dogs—Buddy, Teddy, and Chloe—and are always on the lookout for new culinary experiences (though, admittedly, we don’t do the cooking ourselves!). Kris is recently retired, so she’s available to assist with any questions or needs during your stay.
