We had a wonderful vacation. The home was very clean, spacious and accommodating for our large family. It was great being able to dock our boat and we spent many hours on the lake cruising, skiing and pulling our grandchildren on a towable for their first time. They loved it!

We really enjoyed our stay. Property was close to the lake where we enjoyed 2 days of renting a pontoon. We enjoyed the very large house and property.

The house is large and well equipped. The host (Ben) was very responsive. The area is pleasant, although it is not as up scale as some of the other towns in Litchfield County. The local beach was disappointing. There are nice areas to swim that require a 25 to 35 minute drive. The listing makes it look like the house is actually on the lake, but it is on a hill up a moderately steep driveway. The good part was that it is not on the road, so it was quieter than it would have been if it was actually on the lake.

We had an amazing stay at Ben’s lake house! The house is spotless! So meticulously clean! We spent many hours lounging on the deck and dock of the lake. We brought our own kayaks, so much fun paddling in the lake. The lake is so clean! We went into town one evening to play mini golf and drive go carts. Lake Compounce is less than an hour drive. We rented a pontoon boat for a day. Just so relaxing! Ben was super responsive to all our requests!!

The house was spacious, beautiful, and extremely clean. The host was so nice and answered messages promptly. We enjoyed playing games in the dining room and gathering in the comfortable living room around a fire. The kitchen was a great space to prepare meals for our group. We also enjoyed sitting on the back deck and around the backyard fire pit. The view of the lake from the house is spectacular. We had a wonderful weekend!

We had a wonderful time at the lake house. Ben was wonderful! Excellent communication! The house was more than enough room for everyone! We were able to enjoy the backyard fire pit and roast marshmellows! We saw a bald eagle and a fox came to visit each morning! Wish we could have stayed longer!

We stayed for a week while our daughter attended a ballet summer program nearby. The home was just as shown in the photos. Ben was very easy to deal with during the reservation process and during our stay. Swam in the lake and took a lot of long walks - beautiful area and the home was comfortable and just what we were looking for.

It was an excellent experience for the family and felt like home way from home. Every detail was taken care of, and the host was available to reach out to whenever we needed. It overall exceeded our expectations.

A Lakeside Retreat
This is an absolutely beautiful, comfortable, well equipped home. It sits at the top of a long drive where, at the end, you have your own private dock on the most beautiful dock I've ever seen. We loved spending all day outside and all night on the couch watching tv and movies. A highlight was watching the sunrise from the dock on the lake on one of our first nights. The host was super easy to communicate with and helped us fix any minor problems we came across. Would stay again in a heartbeat!

Great Fishing at Highland Lake
We had a lovely time at the lake! Great for fishing, clear water for swimming, clean and comfortable accommodations with private back yard and swivel furniture to sit in comfort and roast hot dogs and marshmallows. The host was very quick to answer our questions, and even send a beloved stuffed animal our little one left behind. The walk up the driveway hill from the lake was a little exercise, especially with our canoe, but not too far. Only 5 minutes from town, should you need anything. We liked Noujaime's for a Mediterranean treat.

First, communication with Ben was excellent. He answered all my questions before the booking, during the stay and checkout. The house was comfortable for the maximum people allowed. All the bedrooms have new furniture. The beds are comfortable with clean linen, and plenty of storage. There was plenty of seating for everyone in my group to sit while eating meals. The kitchen is equipped with pots and pans , dishes and some condiments. We did a lot of cooking and baked a cake on our last night . The living room is spacious with a wall mounted TV.(we used our Netflix and Disney app) . I worked remotely one day and the wi-if signal was strong . The back deck has a grill, table with four chairs.. We enjoyed a karaoke(personally owned ) night by the fire pit and made s’mores galore.. There is a small beach area walking distance from the house and a marina for rentals. There are plenty of beach towels at the house. We did some kayaking (personally owned) and the guys did some fishing from the deck situated across the street from the house. I don’t recommend the deck as a hang out spot because it is not a stable, It move up and down as the waves come in.. The grocery and package store was only a 10 minute drive away from the house. Suggestions: bring board games I recommend you bring board games or puzzles for any rainy days. Also on the last note be aware of foxes and other wildlife in the area. I’ve had a blast and looking forward to another stay in the near future.
