It really is blissful

We had a wonderful time at this lovely house. Its lakeside view is lovely. It's a short walk to downtown Niantic and its restaurants and shopping area. Katie was a great host, and the property was clean and up to date. We would gladly stay there again.

Perfect cozy getaway

The house was very clean and the check-in process was smooth. The owner helped us find places nearby to dine and we really enjoyed the local amenities. We were within walking distance of many restaurants and shops. We absolutely loved the view of the lake. Two swans even came up to the shoreline near the house. A great location for bird viewing; binoculars were provided. We especially love the back deck and the private setting. It was a wonderful getaway for our anniversary!

Lakeside Bliss

Online picture lead me to believe the rental unit was a cottage which in fact was a house with one bedroom. A note indicated that we could not draw a curtain in the bedroom. No instructions were left regarding how to operate the television which seems to operate on a streaming service. On the plus side, close to the various beaches and the local town to purchase food. The house was clean.

Vaca for Mom

The perfect place for a getaway for mom! Quaint little cottage that was conducive to having to use a walker. The wrap around porch and views were beautiful. Peaceful and quiet, we enjoyed a male swan protecting his mate while she nested. Ducks, canadian geese, a variety of song birds, turtles, rabbits and squirrels made for a lively, natural outdoor atmosphere. The bed was extremely comfortable, views of Dodge Pond from several rooms. Close to Main Street with restaurants and shops. Would live to stay here in the fall when all the leaves are turning colors. Highly recommend!

Cozy and quaint getaway.

My husband and I spent the day being tourists in Mystic. By the end of the day we were ready to come back to a nice place for some R&R. That is exactly what greeted us here. Everything to the cozy furniture to all the beautiful plants enjoying their sunbath in the golden hour sunlight that filled the cottage. Kitchen and bathroom were spotless and entire property is clean and well maintained! We had plenty to keep us busy inside but we were too busy enjoying the view of the quiet lake from the balcony off the living room and bedroom. We got to enjoy the nature show of ducks and swans feeding and watching the sunset. It was a perfect getaway for us. Peaceful and relaxing with the benefit of convenience to restaurants and shopping needs. Our host checked in with us along the way to make sure we arrived seamlessly and had everything we needed. 10/10 highly recommend.

We Will Go Back

I cannot say enough great things about our stay. First, the property is as described but even better in person! The lake views out the sliding glass doors in the living room and bedroom are magnificent. Binoculars are available so that you can watch the wildlife close-up. Second, if you play the piano or guitar, you will LOVE this place. Both are available for use, with an abundance of sheet music at varying levels. What a joy to play looking out over a beautiful lake. Third, the host (Katie) has anticipated your every need. Board and card games, books, puzzles, coloring books, local information, a well-stocked TV, etc. SOOO many pleasant and relaxing ways to spend a vacation. Fourth, communication with Katie is superb, both before and during your stay. DEFINITELY try this fabulous place. My husband is already asking for a trip next year! Fifth, we LOVED the community. The small downtown is only a few blocks away, and there are a number of wonderful restaurants to visit. If you enjoy reading, there is a FABULOUS used and rare bookstore (the Book Barn) nearby. It is totally unlike any bookstore we have ever visited, and we in fact, went twice Kids are welcome, and there are lots of special things to keep them busy there. Finally, have I mentioned Niantic's boardwalk, its proximity to more touristy Mystic, and lobster galore? It is just a marvelous, relaxing place, and probably my favorite VRBO to date.

unimpressed

I am disappointed in my overall experience with this property. The property was not as advertised. We walked in and immediately smelled stale, damp, moisture laden air. The air quality and stale conditions were confirmed with a sticky note in the bathroom that said, "please open window while showering" as well as damp carpet, sheets, and pillows. As a mother traveling with her daughter, I am not going to open a ground level window in a bathroom in an unfamiliar area for safety purposes. Other sticky notes around the property listing things we cannot do "don't close curtains because of the plants, don't use more than one appliance at a time) seemed very inferior when you are paying $300 a night. The smoke detector beeped every hour throughout the night. I am led to believe that the authenticity of the reviews are highly questionable given these sub par conditions and I will not recommend this property.

Peaceful, quiet getaway!

This was a very relaxing, peaceful location in a well appointed and clean rental with a very responsive, kind, and accommodating host. And the property was even larger inside than it looked in the photos, which is usually not the case. All in all a very positive experience and if we are in the area again, we will definitely return! Oh, and silly me, I forgot to mention the amazing views on Dodge Pond!

We stayed here to celebrate our 33rd wedding anniversary. Lakeside bliss is the perfect way to describe this cozy home with an incredible view. The house was very clean and bright, and in addition to the gorgeous view of the lake, we were entertained by the wildlife in the area. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we will be back!
