Another delightful stay at this charming lake cottage. Flowers in bloom, water fowl on the lake and comfortable accommodations who could ask for anything more. Well maintained cottage with all the amenities needed. With family close by we will be back.

This was the cleanest property we have ever been to! The shower was the best! I hope we get to rent here again! Beautiful views, lovely place and very attentive host. If I could rate it a 10 out of, I would.
10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2026
Absolutely a lovely stay. Home was very very clean, well stocked, comfortable seating and comfortable bed. Perfect for what we needed for our stay in CT. The pond/Lake was a bonus! Host was super amazing and very responsive to all my questions before checkin. Been on VRBo for over 10 years and I rate the home and service way above 5 stars. Thank you Joe and Sandi!!!!
