This was my second go round staying at this property. My family and I enjoyed it the first time. More so the second time with the upgrades. Being familiar with the area was a great help. This time we went in the lake and enjoyed ourselves. We are looking forward to returning back again. Thank you Raymond for letting us stay at your property. Richard and Joanne

The house is spacious and comfortable and the view of the lake especially during sunset is stunning. Swimming off the dock with good friends made for the perfect August summer weekend.

Great location in central CT! House right on the lake, large, spacious. Easy access to food, golf, etc.

The descending stairs from the kitchen/dining level were an issue. Ascending same stairs are not a problem because the risers are painted white. The lip of the stairs need to show some kind of contrast so they don’t appear to be on same plane as the level below. Overall all our needs were met. The kitchen was well stocked and the hub of our stay since we did alot of holiday cooking.

We wanted to take some time to think before we wrote a review. We had a wonderful time but felt we needed to be honest to help future renters and the homeowner. The cleanliness of the home was not the best. In the welcome booklet it was stated no food upstairs since they like the white linens which is totally fine! Yet there were stains on the white sheets in the master bedroom (Upon telling the contact person they did come and change them). The mattress in the master bedroom has a protective cover on it which is understandable. Yet we felt it should have had a mattress pad over that because it felt and sounded like we were sleeping on a potato chip bag. (The mattress pad can be taken off and washed between renters) There was open leftover food in the freezer that you could tell had been there a while. When people are coming to the home they are bringing food and are expecting space to put it in There was dried food stuck on the ceiling above the stove. There was dirt and debris underneath the baseboard heater. We noticed this in the kitchen. We didn’t inspect the rest of the baseboards. The deck on the house is big and very usable yet it def needed TLC. Needed to be cleaned up. (swept off between renters) The outdoors needed TLC. everything needed pruning. It was very overgrown. We had one more thing that bothered us. We came back from an outing to find a car in the driveway and met a man who said said he went in the house to drop off some paper products. We felt that was held improperly. We should have been informed that he was stopping by. (Leave items on the porch in a bag). He just went in the house without us knowing. Which seems inappropriate and an invasion of privacy for multiple reasons. We expected when spending this kind of money for a rental that these things should not have been an issue. I

Fantastic home. Beautiful views. Large deck was great for a family birthday party. At least half of the deck was shady all day. Plenty of deck furniture. We did encounter a lot of bees on the deck. Lots of kitchen counter space. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. The parking was great for many cars for our party. Owner was flexible for our needs. Plenty of room in the bedrooms and 2 very large full size bathrooms upstairs. The master bedroom view of the lake was amazing. The plastic covering on the mattresses made for disruptive sleep when you or your partner move. The lake was not too busy with motorized boats so we were able to hang out on floats every day.

Perfect place for a very hot week😎

This is a lovely property and we enjoyed our stay. The views are beautiful. I was hoping there would be kayak rental on the lake, but there was not. This location is close enough to take day trips to Long Island Sound. I highly recommend!
