Have stayed at several VRBO properties and this was the best so far. Did lots of special things like a snack tray upon arrival & lots of notes around the house on how things worked.

We spent labor day weekend at the house as a family and had a fantastic time. The owners were very thorough and detailed in all their communications and made it easy.
The house was clean, updated and had all the amenities. The large back deck overlooking the lake was fantastic, especially in the early morning as the fog lifted off the lake. We all enjoyed the kyaks and paddleboards and took out the canoe for some fishing. I recommended the house to family members and would stay again in the future.

What a beautiful property! The porch is amazing! The host has everything you need for a week on a lake! It’s a quiet neighborhood and so peaceful! Clean, beautifully decorated and a nice escape from life. Perfect for our vacation to see friends all over CT! We lived nearby for about 10 years and never knew there was a lake In Harwinton! Thank you for a wonderful week!

The owner has created a beautiful, peaceful, thoughtful space for VRBO guests. Everything was spotless and well-organized. We appreciated the attention to detail and all the little extras that made the lake house truly feel like a home away from home during our stay. It was especially nice to have use of the garage.
We enjoyed exploring the area’s restaurants, mountain bike trails, and disc golf courses and having a cozy, comfortable place to relax and read by the water. It was too chilly on the days we’d thought about canoeing, but we hope to come back for a longer stay during warmer months next year.

Such a great cottage to get away from it all. Far enough away from the hustle yet close enough for rainy day day trips. Every amenity was thoughtfully provided. From the moment we walked in we felt very welcomed and at home. The cottage has great views of the lake sunrises and a fire pit to make s’mores at night. Tips on how to work all electronics are provided throughout so you never have to guess. Thank you Larry and Denise for providing a nice home for a much needed adult time out. If you ever want to sell, please let me know!

Lovely cottage and neighborhood right on the lake! I think it's time to retire the Pontoon Boat (old). It would be easier to kayak, paddle, and canoe. Especially because the water level of the lake is low.

We couldn't be happier!
The house was spotless clean and extremely well equipped, not to mention tastefully furnished. Every detail was very well thought out. Despite close proximity to other houses, the property felt private and very peaceful. The lake was clean enough to swim in (no algae). Larry, the host, was friendly and responsive. We couldn't ask for more!

Perfect summer getaway
Truly a great house in a great location. Lots to love about this rental: super clean and bright, good window shades, comfortable beds, well-stocked library, plenty of water toys…the list goes on. We really enjoyed ourselves.

My sister and I had a wonderful time on Harwinton Lake. The house was amazing! Everything you would need and more. Their home was beautifully decorated and the furniture and beds were super comfy. Watching the sunrise and sunset from the back deck was breathtaking! The trip is a week we will always remember.

We stayed at this property for five days in mid July. The house is wonderful, with its open floorplan and beautiful wall of windows that allows for a picturesque view of the lake. The lake does not allow motorized boats, other than those which cause minimal wake and noise, like pontoon boats, so it is incredibly quiet and relaxing.
The surrounding towns provide for many excellent dining out experiences (try the Edison Grill, three miles away!), mini golf and shopping.
The owner was incredibly accommodating and quickly responded to us if we had any questions or concerns.
The property also has many amenities which enhance your stay. There are kayaks and paddle boards, life vests, beach towels, washing machine and dryer...it really is a home away from home.
The beach adjacent to the property was wonderful, as were the other two beaches on the lake. The water was warm and pretty clean. The residents of the neighborhood were also super friendly.
The only negative I can think of is that the internet connection was somewhat problematic each day, which is no fault of the owner, it's likely an issue in the entire area. We had to restart the router each day. It wasn't a huge issue for us because really, you're not at a lake house for the internet...ha! But, I mention it for those who may be doing a working vacation and would need a consistent, reliable internet.
All in all, a fabulous property, great owners, and terrific location. We definitely would go back and we highly recommend this property as a vacation destination.

Nicely updated house in a lovely lake setting. We enjoyed the fire pit by the lake and the smores the owners provided. The game cabinet came in handy on a rainy day. Lawrence was very helpful, and even sent back some items we had forgotten.

This cottage was beautiful and well equipped.
However the upstairs bedroom stairs were very steep and challenging esp having to go downstairs to the bathroom. Very convenient having beach directly next door but water was not good for swimming. Lots of geese in the area as well very noisy and messy

Harwinton Lake retreat
This is a beautiful home and property on Harwinton Lake. The modern kitchen and dining room overlook the lake with picture windows, and a full balcony extends across the back of the house. We enjoyed sitting at the dining room table watching the changing scenery of the lake and waterfowl. The two comfortable bedrooms are upstairs with the large bathroom on the first floor. There are small steep stairs to the upstairs bedroom, so this is not a property for people with mobility issues. It is perfect for a couple or small family that is looking for a special place to stay in an area where there are few rental options.
