About this house rental
Enjoy life in a lake cottage while maintaining short commutes and everyday conveniences at this centrally-located lake house in a quiet, mid century old-time lake community convenient to absolutely everything.
This is an early 1900s guesthouse in a lake community originally built for weekend retreats from the “big cities” of Hartford and Torrington. Secret Lake was a community of weekend and summer retreats not far from traditional work places used by families in the early mid 1900’s as their get-away havens without complicated travel to far way lands. The home had a fairly low ceiling with a loft above which I raised upon purchasing. Other than that, the architecture is original. Come enjoy how life used to be in classic mid century American times.
It’s all yours.
I can be reached by phone or text 24/7. Cell phone provided upon booking.
In 2005 Money Magazine rated Avon third safest town in America.
This home is centrally located, situated under a 30 minute drive to the UCONN Health Center, Hospital of Central Connecticut, Hartford Hospital, and St. Francis hospital in Hartford. Also just a 35 minute commute will bring you to Charlotte Hungerford Hospital in Torrington!
✅ This property has special local compliance requirements which include a signed rental agreement, ID verification, and a security hold of $1000 (which is not a traditional security deposit, just a pending transaction). As an optional alternative to the security hold, you may opt in to purchase a non-refundable damage waiver provided by a third-party insurance company. The optional damage waiver is $50 for stays up to 10 nights, with an additional $2 per day for stays longer than 10 nights. Damage waiver purchases are optional.
To make this process easy for you, we use a secure and very simple, app-free platform called Happy Guest. It is not an app, and you do not have to sign up for an account - it’s a safe and secure website. It also gives you a guest portal with all the info about the home and all of my favorite local spots.
If you have any questions, just message us anytime! Happy to help!
