The beds where extremely comfortable. And the view over the lake was beautiful. Unfortunately we were not standing on you to use the outdoor area, but if we did stay longer you definitely would have. I highly recommend this property.

We had a really nice stay. I would suggest a shade and/or curtains on the back door because it’s in a room where one of us slept and the motion-sensor light outside kept going on all night, making it difficult to sleep. I messaged the host to ask if there was a way to turn it off but he never answered so we just put a towel over the window. The tiny coffee pot wasn’t enough for us but we found another coffee maker in the kitchen closet, missing the carafe - we went to a thrift store and found a carafe so that coffee pot is usable again. I also suggest buying some darts for the dart board. Otherwise, everything was good. The rooms were comfortable and there was enough seating, dishes, towels, etc for everyone. Nice view of the lake!

UConn game weekend

A stairway and a step or two to enter the house but otherwise all on one level so worked great for elderly. Easy to get to UConn.

Perfect location

We were in town for a family reunion. The lake house was a perfect location for us. The kitchen had enough supplies to cook comfortably. We loved the firepit as well. The road is very busy and not that easy to take a walk but we did it. Also the driveway is very tight and it's best if you know how to back up well. We wish the communication with the manager was better.

Beautiful home, even better location

The home was a very beautiful remodeled lake home. The property was perfect! The kayaks were a nice treat and the location was just amazing. The road was not too busy but the cars using it did go very fast. If you have kids make sure they are aware of the cars going fast. The kitchen was well stocked. The linens were abundant and that was very helpful, especially towels. We live in SC and found the night a little chilly (I know we sound wimpy lol) but the gas fireplace was nice to have. We stay at homes often for vacations and I will say this plave has the MOST comfortable beds!!! We would definitely stay again!

Thanksgiving Family Gathering

Overall our stay was good. The house was clean and overall a great space for our family to gather for the Thanksgiving holiday. We unfortunately had a plumbing issue Thanksgiving morning but the owner responded quickly. He had the situation resolved before we returned that evening. The one thing I would note in the homes description is how narrow the driveway is. For larger vehicles a very tight fit. I also recommend providing a few more amenities for those that are traveling in for short stay.

Check in and out was easy. Perfect amount of space for our big family. The property was renovated a bit. Kitchen has a nice amount of cooking supplies. Basics like salt n pepper are provided. We enjoyed the lake. The beach is nice but you need to purchase passes to use. I messaged Host to see if they had an annual but I never heard a reply. If you have allergies the numerous plug in air fresheners may bother you, home definitely has a “lake” odor . I tried messaging host a few times during my stay and they never responded. I received a generic welcome and good-bye message but no actual correspondence with host.

Very nice stay! Beautiful view, two kayaks to use and very nice set up by the water with comfortable Adirondack chairs and fire pit. A few suggestions to make things a complete 5 star stay would be a bigger coffee pot and night stands on BOTH sides of the beds in the bedroom. There’s very little surface space for any toiletries in the bathrooms and in two bedrooms there were only nightstands on one side of the beds and there’s plenty of room to have them on both sides. It would help in having a place to put things, especially since the bathrooms really didn’t . We moved end tables from the basement living area and that helped. The bunkbeds are definitely only for children/small people. Not sturdy for my 6’3” athletics boys. We had to take the top bunk down to the floor for my teens to feel safe.

The lake view and access is perfect. There are plenty of bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, great TV spaces and open concept main floor. The driveway is also large and can fit several cars.
