About this property
Waterfront Lake Home on Tranquil Harwinton Lake with spectacular 180⁰ view.
Enjoy a lovely classic New England vacation in this lake front,open concept, home on Harwinton Lake. Relax and enjoy the beautiful 180⁰ scenery and gentle breezes. During the summer months swim directly from the backyard, or if you prefer to have company, a short walk will take you to the shared community beach (there are a total of 3 sandy beaches around the lake). Our home provides a spacious yard and deck for barbecuing, sun bathing (lounge chairs provided), swimming, kayaking (one and two person kayak provided), fishing (lake is stocked with trout, bass, perch), or napping in the hammock for 2. You can also enjoy a 2 mile walk or bike ride around the lake. Our home is light and bright, open concept with wall to wall windows overlooking the water and we have a lovely wood burning fireplace for romantic evenings or a large firepit by the waters edge for s'mores!
In the winter months: enjoy ice skating, ice fishing, and ski areas are close by.
Amenities: central air/heat, stainless steel appliances, washer and dryer, Smart TV, linens and towels, as well as beach blanket and towels are provided.
Lots of great restaurants, shopping, antiquing, wine trails, golfing, river tubing, Warner Theater for shows are all close by, and Mohegan Sun and Foxwood Casinos are within an hours drive. Lots to do and see or just relax and do nothing!
Two Queen beds, one Queen sleeper sofa.
Maximum occupancy 4 or 5people.

About the host
Hosted by Ella Dreskin
We love the water and especially this lake. We looked for years before buying a home on beach drive. The scenery from this side of the lake is quite breathtaking and tranquil.
Why they chose this property
No motor boats on the lake, just small electric engines, kayaks and sail boats. When the sun sets it creates a picture image of the trees and homes from across the lake on the lake surface.
What makes this property unique
Proximity to Mohegan Sun and Foxwood Casinos, Warner Theater, wine trail, antique shopping, hiking trails and close to Ski Sundown!
