Had a great time at this beautiful lake house in CT. There were 8 of us in our group and felt that we had plenty of space. Loved the dock by the lake- had so much fun fishing, swimming and just lounging around. We rented a few kayaks for a couple days which were delivered to the house. Lesley (owner) was so friendly and helpful every step of the way from check in to check out. There were helpful messages throughout the house that explained everything you needed to know…so organized! I will definitely plan a return trip.

We had a wonderful stay! The house was perfect, exactly as described and can’t wait to go back! Several bedrooms to comfortably sleep two families. Set in a great private neighborhood, directly on the lake - we spent all day swimming, nights cooking and relaxing at the fire pit. The house sits across a private reserve and we felt like we were in a remote area. Lesley was wonderful, great at communicating, very clear instructions - very easy! Thank you!!

What a wonderful week at the lake! The house is everything you would expect from a ‘real’ lake house perched on a hill with a perfect vista. House was clean, everything you need is there - after talking to the hosts to give them feedback - I struggled to think of anything. We dropped the boat in and moored at the dock where we spent most of our time. The area of the lake the house backs onto is quiet and perfect for water sports. We all got up on the wakeboards and the little ones had a blast on the tube. The hosts Lesley and Kris were first class - keeping in contact and pointing us in the right direction or leaving us be to enjoy our time. Would love to make this our regular lake holiday home.

Our stay here during a heat wave was wonderful. It was cool by the lake and the water was crystal clear. Bring water shoes for walking down the steps. The kitchen was stocked with every tool you would ever need. There are many good restaurants in the area if you don't want to cook and lots of things to do in the area. There is a beach down the road if you have small children. Most houses on the lake do not have gradual access to the water. All in all, it was a very enjoyable week even during a rain storm which we watched from the safety of the house!
