Review based on stay in December: We stayed in this house for 4 nights over Christmas. The house was very clean and warm, with plenty of room. Bedrooms very large, Beds were comfortable. Plenty warm , kitchen stocked like a normal full time kitchen as opposed to a seasonal place. We were very comfortable and the view is great. Owner stopped by one morning to make sure we could get out of driveway due to some icing the night before. The shed with rock salt worked immediately. this house is not a “summer type cottage” . It is a well constructed , taken care of full year house. I wish I owned it!!! . Kudos to the owners for the love they have put into this house. Christmas tree in living room with lights set on a timer, and a few other Christmas theme items on mantel and kitchen counter were appreciated. Hope to stay again .

We loved it! Spotlessly clean, comfortable, and the most gorgeous view! We watched the moon come up over the lake and the sun rise above the lake. It’s a lovely winter retreat! We’d love to come back in summer or fall and enjoy the lake and nearby nature trails.

We all loved the lake house!! The setting was serene and beautiful and only 20 minutes to UConn where my son is a student. The house was well equipped and even more spacious than we thought. We used the kayaks and my teen son fished off the dock. It was an absolutely perfect weekend and we did not want to leave! The hosts were quick to respond and wonderful to work with. We will be back!

Reunion stay on the lake

This was a great stay at a truly special place. 40th HS reunion and the lake house was our home base. Incredible pretty and quiet with everything in the house to enjoy the lake and the area. Everyone who stayed or stopped by said they'd stay there again in a second.

Beautiful place!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The house is beautiful. So much lovely wood and, of course the view of the lake is amazing. The host were fast to reply and helpful. Our visit kept us busy with family events, but I wish we had had more time to enjoy the lake and all the wonderful amenities the house had to offer. We hope to be back!

Very nice location and home

The place itself is great. Owner was very responsive on the first night when we had an issue with the heat. A little less responsive when we mentioned that we replaced a couple of broken rollers on the bed (our cost) and had to shovel the driveway to get our car out after a few attempts made it about half way (pretty steep driveway and of course it's the morning we had to head to the airport).

Memories on the lake

We lived in this part of Connecticut for 30 years and thoroughly enjoyed being back to explore our old haunts (and some new ones). The cottage was in the perfect location for our adventures. It is a cozy, well-built place with fabulous views on the fall foliage across the lake. It is near the Hop River State Park Trail for hiking which we enjoyed as well.
