Wonderful Wedding Weekend Get-A-Way

My fiancé (now husband) and I stayed with our Bridal Party at Camp David while getting married in Morris, CT. The accommodations were perfect for such an event! We rented 3 of David’s cottages, which all share the same property and are just steps from Bantam Lake. David was very laid back and great at communicating and accommodating several of our needs. He has all of the amenities necessary for a weekend getaway on the Lake including BBQ supplies and equipment for several different water activities. He has a personal handy man that was quick to respond to and resolve a couple of minor concerns. He also offered to help us unload any belongings. We’re so appreciative of David for providing such hospitality and the perfect accommodations for our wedding weekend! We have memories to last a lifetime. Highly recommend!

Great long weekend at the lake

We had a wonderful time at Camp David! We've done a weekend with friends for years now and this was easily one of the best places we've stayed. We rented several of the houses and had plenty of space for our group to spread out. We spent our entire stay lakeside - hanging out, sitting by the firepit, swimming and grilling! David was easy to reach with any questions or concerns (even reset the wifi remotely one night). Only caveat for future guests to note is that there are multiple cottages on the property that can be rented by other guests. We had two different families stay in the unoccupied house during our stay, both were very friendly and we had no issues coexisting on the property.

Very Misleading Ad: Not Private. Not Exclusive Lakefront Access.

Listing said "Exclusive lakefront property," and photos were framed to make the house look alone in a big yard by the water. In reality, four houses -- including landlord and his family -- share one crowded yard and lake access. During COVID-19, our "pod" of couples planned to escape the city for a private vacation alone. We arrived to find the exact opposite. House is in poor condition, even constructed that some doors can't open all the way, because, e.g. a door was blocked by an eave within inches of the doorway. Be prepared that video cameras are all over the property and house. Morning before arrival, landlord listed three kayaks and a couple innertubes. Upon arrival, he explained only two kayaks and one innertube existed, and that we'd be sharing those -- and the whole yard and lake access -- with our neighboring strangers. He dismissed our COVID-19 concerns by demonstrating how easy it'd be to stay six-feet away from the other guests. He continued to defend the ad by pointing out we had the "best place" of four, though we obviously thought we had a private property, the only place. Ultimately up to us -- in normal times, and especially in COVID -- whether we want to share a crowded property of four houses in one yard. In the end, landlord said he didn't feel offering us anything was "warranted" (direct quote). If the price is right for you, be prepared for what's essentially a public camping experience in cabins, alongside others sharing your space.
