I have rented this property for the past several years and the experience is wonderfully consistent. Clean property, beautifully appointed, useful amenities (didn't even use them all!), great lakeside location, proprietors are easy to work with. Would rent again! ;-)

Peaceful Weekend Getaway

This house on the lake was perfect! It was clean, fully stocked with anything you may need, and offered a peaceful getaway on the lake. It was a bit cooler so after sitting on the dock for a bit, we retreated to enjoying the view from the all seasons room (and provided electric heater)! Looking forward to returning in the future!

Great stay on the lake!

We had a wonderful stay at this cozy home on the lake. Though it was a winter wonderland when we traveled I can imagine this would be a perfect stay in the spring time. Our hosts were wonderful and highly responsive, and we appreciated that snow removal was taken care of before we arrived. Very clean and comfortable home. We would definitely stay again!

Perfect spot to have the family together

The lake house is delightful, well appointed and the location is amazing. Our 13 year old caught (and released) a few fish, the 11 year old enjoyed the kayak and tubes on the lake, the weather was perfect, the surroundings so quiet, and all the amenities one could want were there. Thank you for sharing this lovely home!

The host was very responsive. We even had 10 inches of snow one night and they had someone come and plow the driveway twice and then sent someone to shovel and salt/sand all the walks and the driveway by 8 am the next morning. The house had many amenities that made us feel at home, including spices and every utensil imaginable in the kitchen, many games and books for entertainment, and other thoughtful items in the bathrooms and rest of the house. Very well decorated with attention to detail. We've stayed in many vacation rentals over the past 25 years and this is the best one we've ever stayed in.

Best stay at an inn I’ve ever had

Beautiful house; everything you possibly could need is there. The beds were comfortable. The lake views were incredible. But the best part of our stay were the hosts. They were friendly and helpful and just plain wonderful!! I’d recommend this inn to ANYONE. You won’t find anything like it.

Italian family from Trieste, my niece outta Daytona Beach, my wife and I from Connecticut stayed here as the last stop of a four leg journey together. It was perfect. The water, the quiet, ducks, and yes swans. The warmth of the fire-pit extended into the home. Exceptionally decorated. Almost storybook. The kitchen had everything we required to make our meals. The home and location provided everything we needed to feed our souls after a ten day journey.

Wonderful house, perfect for a family stay. We had a wonderful time in the house with our grown kids, and our grandkids. The house was perfect to hang out at, plus the backyard was fantastic. We really enjoyed sitting by the campfire, kayaking on the lake etc. The local liquor store and grocery store are walking distance from the house.The house itself was thoroughly stocked with every amenity you could think of. Very clean, and functional for a group of people.

Absolutely perfect!!!

The second we entered this home, we were enveloped in warmth and comfort. And that feeling didn't fade at any point in our 4 week stay. There truly is no detail that the owners hadn't anticipated for their guests' needs. The kitchen, the bathrooms, the games, the books, the lake toys, the fire pit, the grill and outdoor eating area - all were so well supplied that it just felt like home. We shared this wonderful lake experience with family and friends who were equallyblown away. We were sad to leave, but have already reserved our time next summer.FABULOUS!!

Third times a Charm

This is our third visit to the Catnip Inn. It is a beautiful home right on the water. We arrived on an unusually warm Thursday evening and immediately went to the dock to relax. The communication from the homeowner is wonderful. The beds are comfortable and everything is so convenient. We may have one more trip in our future. I am definitely recommending this home to others.

Central Connecticut Gem!

This is a charming house that actually is even better than the photos! Spotless and organized. Kitchen is perfectly stocked. Came with a bag of nice Italian coffee, Kurig and teas with refrigerated creamer. Bed was terrific and large. AC and Heat easy to use. Easy to find and surrounded by everything you need, like food, coffee, bagels, restaurants.

Great Lake Home

I traveled with my husband and 3 daughters (25, 11, and 10) and this home looked like the perfect spot to spend a few days while we were traveling. The communication with the property manager and owner were wonderful both ahead of time and during our stay. The home was as listed and was very comfortable with everything we needed and more. Everything was well labeled with clear instructions. The home was comfortable for us all! We were looking forward to being on the lake, but it rained while we were there so we skipped that activity and instead just admired the beautiful views.
