From the photos in the listing and other reviews we we expecting much more. The outside of the property is not maintained well and severely impeded the use of the grounds as depicted in the listing.The inside of the property, especially the "theater room" needed attention as well.

Nice escape in winter

It's a gorgeous property and would be amazing in warmer weather. It was mostly clean. One star loss as the downstairs while set up for children is not safe. The sticky corner padding kept coming off and the screws used for the level change stick out for easy cuts. Also in the colder weather it's freezing down then

Amazing Trip - Wish We Have Stayed Longer

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful lake house! The views were stunning, and the house itself was clean, cozy, and well-equipped with everything we needed. We especially loved spending mornings on the deck with coffee and evenings by the water. It's the perfect spot for a relaxing getaway, and we can't wait to come back!

Relaxing getaway

We stayed for 4 days and 3 nights at the house. Its a great location of you want to also hit up the casinos, which we did. The area is nice and quiet so we really enjoyed sitting outside and relaxing. My only cons is the basic cleanliness/upkeep. I know that the outside will have leaves and branches due to having trees around but the corner areas of wet piles of leaves and the weeds in all the gravel made it look really unkept. Besides a few touchups of paint and cleaning of some of the wall surfaces that are touched alot like near outlets the inside is juat as described.

Lake House Serenity

The Lake House was exactly as advertised and was a great place to land. Sitting out on the dock first thing in the morning was very peaceful and serene. We came to CT for an extended family reunion and thoroughly enjoyed having the Lake House as our nightly landing zone/quiet place. We had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend this location for a couple, family of 4, or more. The house could have easily accommodated more people but was very comfortable for our group of 6. Conveniently located to several family friendly activities. Great Wolf Lodge is under construction at the Foxwoods Casino which should be open in the near future.

Quiet getaway with beautiful water view

Loved the view of the pond from the various outdoor seating areas. The small dock was great for the best view and was fun to see the turtles. So peaceful, reminded us of a bird sanctuary. Michael and Ashleigh were very responsive to any inquiry we made. Kitchen nice size and well equipped for our stay. Especially enjoyed using one of the two fire pits for a relaxing evening under the stars. Thanks so much!

Review

So this is a 2 bedroom and a basement with beds. The basement "room" was very cold. My kids froze down there. Only one mirror in a house that says it sleeps 8. The entertainment room is part of the basement with the bunkbeds and has a projector that projects on a wall in the room. The lake is pretty and they do have kayaks and vests, that was a perk. The patio and fire pit area was spring covered, leaves and sticks. The fire pit had a huge pile of debree in it and we were afraid to light it as it was under a tree. Neighborhood was quiet but we didnt expect the trailor park next door. With anything you make the best of it.
