This house was extremely clean and the views were exceptional I highly recommend it absolutely beautiful the owners were so easy to contact Very knowledgeable and very attentive this home comes highly recommend

This is our second time staying at this property because our last trip was really good. Michale is a wonderful host. The house was spotless just like last year and there was still an amazing lake view. Dry firewood was there for the fire pit so our kids were able to enjoy making s’mores. Our kids enjoyed fishing and kayaking in the lake all weekend long. The house had everything including board games, a ping-pong table, a pool table, and even two washers and dryers. The place also had enough toilet paper, paper towels, and detergent. I forgot an electronic device and Michele offered to ship it to our home. How amazing is that?! I definitely thank Michale for the amazing vacation we had. We will definitely come back.

We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend with friends and family. The house was clean and not cluttered and right on the water. It was rainy all weekend but the kids loved going out to the dock and playing ping pong. The adults loved the large kitchen and beautiful view of the lake. Than you Mike!

Mike's home is even better than pictured: GORGEOUS lake view from living room/kitchen/2 bedrooms/upstairs den, spacious, immaculate, comfortable beds, large kitchen with high-end appliances, very nice lake-view master bedroom with en-suite with 2 vanities and separate water closet. Great amenities including ping pong and pool tables, 3 kayaks, fire pit, comfortable outdoor seating, private dock, fun board games, books, etc. My husband loves to fish and was out early every morning fishing off the dock. (Bring your own pole. The local bait shop is great. A fishing license can be purchased online.) This house will be our first choice if we are ever in the area again. We were in town for only 3 days for a family wedding, but wish we had opted to stay for a week.

We had a wonderful time. Enjoyed kayaking on the lake, hiking the Lillinonah Loop, making S’mores at the Fire pit and generally taking in the view.

We stayed here for my sister’s quieter bachelorette weekend. We were all very impressed. Beautiful home. Has everything you might need to have a good time. Host is wonderful and super responsive. Would recommend 100%.

We had a wonderful stay and the home greatly exceeded our expectations! Mike was very quick to respond to all questions throughout the booking process. We stayed for a weekend in February in between snow storms. When we arrived, the driveway and steps leading to the home had been freshly plowed which was very appreciated. My husband and I enjoyed cooking in the well-equipped kitchen, bird watching in the backyard and playing ping pong and pool in the game room. We also enjoyed building a fire and sitting by the fire pit and are grateful to Mike for leaving dry firewood in the garage. I was impressed with how clean the house was. We would love to come back in warmer weather to enjoy more outdoor activities and see the lake when it's not covered in snow and ice. Even with the cold weather, it was a perfect getaway from the city for us to stretch our legs and get some fresh air.

The property was very clean, cleaner than expected. The property was close to NYC (1.5 hour from NYC). The accessible to local shops was a perk. The property had plenty to do to keep all of the guests entertained for multiple days.

Michael's house provided everything the photos and description offered, and more. The cooking spaces for making a big holiday meal were fantastic: two stoves; amazing Wolf range; two sinks....and with spectacular views of the lake, and plenty of places for friends to sit and keep us company. When the weather was poor, we played ping pong and pool....again, with those amazing lake views. When the weather was fair, we took several hikes nearby....and the athletes in our group loved running in the neighborhood after breakfast. Michael was very prompt in responding to queries, and everything about getting in and out of the house was a breeze. And the elevator was a handy treat! This is a great house to rent in the late fall, and would be fantastic in the summer with its lakefront access and dock.

The location and property exceeded our expectations.

Everything you and your family could want in a vacation home. Our family is a group of six adults and there was plenty of space for us all to enjoy each other and still have space for ourselves. Beautiful large kitchen ready and supplied with all the cookware you could need to make family meals and the open floorplan had plenty of space for family game nights. After getting a great night’s sleep in the supper comfortable beds and morning showers with plenty of fluffy towels, we spent the days enjoying the three kayaks, local hiking trails and use of the game room which had a pool table and ping pong table and provided hours of fun and laughs. And because of the time of year, October, we had the opportunity to go apple picking at a local farm which had the best apple cider donuts, pies and cider. This home will exceed your expectations and we certainly look forward to staying here again.

We were very lucky to find this rental. Fairly new, the house was in amazing shape, beds new, towels fluffy! The owner made us feel very welcome - chocolates and lollipops by the door. The owner also left enough paper goods and kitchen items (plastic/tin foil plus coffee and tea!) to get us through our two weeks, not something typical of home rentals. He also checked in half way through to make sure everything was going as expected. There was plenty of room for our family of 4 plus 2 grandparents. The lake was beautiful and so warm. We had a great time swimming, fishing and kayaking - there were three available for our use. At night, we frequently enjoyed the firepit for smores! The only callout is the hill going down to the lake. For our family, it was not a problem. For anyone with issues climbing a steep hill, it may give you pause. I know the owner mentioned that he will continue to improve the property (he built a great dock with a ladder for entry into the lake!) so I imagine he will work on that area, as well. Back to inside, I should also mention the ping pong table and pool table in the basement. So much fun!!! I really can't say enough about this property and its owner. In a year of disappointment, our time on Lake Lillinonah was a welcome break from reality. I would highly recommend to any family.

Immaculate house, super fun game room, and amazing lake. Perfect no matter what the weather conditions are... hard to leave!

Exceed expectations
