We LOVE this property ! The host/owner is extremely available and thought of every last detail and amenity for our stay. The home is clean and well stocked with supplies. The landscape and property are beautiful. We wished to be snowed in, but the weather didnt cooperate, and we were still able to utilize the deck and outdoor grill. This was our 2nd visit in 4 months and cant wait to book next year ! Thank you !!!!

Peaceful and beautiful. It was amazing waking up to a perfect and secluded view of the lake. Private yet just a quick drive to shopping. There was a great variety of amenities. You could literally bring clothes, do a small grocery shop for food and have everything you need for a stay. I will definitely consider this house again for a relaxing time away!

Wow! What a great long weekend!!! The property was everything it says and more! Kitchen was stocked with everything I needed to cook our special meals, the house was clean, smelled great, comfy and cozy!! We watched the Swan and the Heron in the lake and enjoyed playing cards on the deck. The deck was also equipped with a gate, so our pup could stay outside with us safely!! We loved this property and can't wait to come back for a longer stay!!!

Now THIS is a host. Great communication, welcoming treats, even heat and lights set up for our arrival. But this lovely cottage was the winner; great setting right on the lake (complete with swan), windows all around, every amenity you could ask for. Homey touches with modern kitchen and baths. Only bad part was it was too cold to kayak. Fall colors made up for it. We will be back, especially with relatives in the neighborhood. 12/10!!!

Peaceful Lakeside Weekend

The house is beautiful and had everything we needed for the weekend. Since it was cooler and a bit rainy we only availed ourselves to the outside table for peaceful and quiet times. Our NYC family really enjoyed the quiet! We will be looking at this house in our future visits.

A true sanctuary - Good for the soul.

Peace and nature abound in this home. I’ve stayed in many rentals, and this one was probably my favorite. And, you couldn’t ask for a better host! So helpful and obviously a kind person who really cares about her tenants. Clean, beautifully decorated @ comfy, cheerful place with little extras here & there, making it extra special! Great rural area, too, w/ nice restaurants and activities! Will definitely return!

Wonderful stay at the lake!!

We had a fantastic time over a long weekend at Trisha’s place on the lake. The house had everything we needed, and the location right on the lake was perfect for views and for kayaking and paddle boarding. Trisha is a great host with lots of communication and little touches in the house that make you feel welcome and at home. If we ever come to the area in the future, we will definitely stay here again.

UCONN graduation weekend!

In town for my daughters graduation with family. The location on the lake was wonderful! The listing pictures were quite accurate. The house was the most well equipped of any rental I have utilized to date! The kitchen had everything from spices to coffee pods to soy sauce to butter in the fridge. Well stocked toiletries as well. Our host was very thoughtful and easy to contact if needed. We enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful location, comfortable home, and amazing hospitality!

We had a great stay! Trisha was such a great host! We arrived during a major storm and she stayed up late to ensure that we were able to find the house okay. Of course, finding the house was easy because she had made sure the driveway lights would guide us to the right place. Also, the location is beautiful and serene. There are views of the lake from most of the rooms in the house. The house is also spotless and incredibly well-stocked with all kinds of extras, and the beds are comfortable. We will definitely be returning to this home next time we are in the area!

Peaceful lakeside property

Had a wonderful long weekend with spouse and dog. You can just hang out in the privacy of the deck for hours and relax. Kitchen and grill are great for cooking, but if you prefer a few good restaurants about 2 miles away. Host couldnt have been nicer and prompt to respond when i needed help finding things. Thanks so much for the great stay.

Relaxing cabin with beautiful views

This cabin was one of the most relaxing places I have ever stayed. It had amazing views of Eagleville Lake where you could watch ducks, egrets, and swans every morning. It was such a comfortable play to stay for a week. The kitchen was very well stocked and spacious.The bed in the primary room was incredibly comfortable. Finally, the host was kind and responsive. We hope to stay at the cabin again in the future!
