About this cottage rental
Cozy, charming lakefront cottage on quiet, spring-fed Lake Chaffee. Relax on the deck, dock or private beach. Swim, canoe, kayak or paddleboard around the lake to one of the little islands. Float on a raft, fish, enjoy the changing light, read, nap, go hiking in the nearby state park, or bike on scenic roadways.
Too calm? Head out for some antiquing in Pomfret, Woodstock or Brimfield, or head towards the CT wine trail, Sturbridge Village, nearby University of Connecticut, Mohegan Sun or Foxwoods Casinos, or Thompson International Speedway. Or try a ropes course or zip line at The Adventure Park at Storrs.
If you don't feel like grilling with lake views and eating under the stars, then head out to local, charming cafes.
The cottage itself is fully equipped - simple but comfortable indoor/outdoor living. Two bedrooms, one bath, kitchen, and a living and dining area which opens up to a very large deck overlooking the lake. Wi-Fi, cable television, free movies, music, board games, cards and books. Enjoy the outdoor fire pit in the evening.
Located in historic Ashford, Connecticut, between New York City and Boston and an easy commute to Hartford, Boston or NY.

Just returned home from my second stay at this cottage. It was a very relaxing week. It’s a very nice spot on a quiet lake. Kathy makes it easy to check in/out and is very responsive to messages. I’m hoping to be able to do this again next year!

Repeat visit. Very enjoyable. Lake was still cold, so caught some bass, pickerel and perch. Wish the local store had stayed in business....always good for breakfast and ice.

We saw the pictures. We've done rentals before. We thought "no way will it be that nice." It was. And the cottage is thoughtfully stocked with toiletries, condiments, linens, recreation equipment, etc. Felt like it was tailored for us. Loved it.
