This Highland Lake property was magical with its beyond beautiful fall colors rising above the lake & into the hills above. Our friends stated over & over “this place is better than we ever expected”!! A few of my friends commented several times how relaxing it felt to be by the lake & wake up to its beauty every morning! It was the perfect getaway for us 4 couples each having our own bedroom. The kitchen was so spacious & equipped with most everything we needed for preparing meals & dishes to eat off & plenty of silverware. The dining room table held 10 - 12 people easily. There was plenty of living space in the living room & sun room. Plus there were 3 1/2 bathrooms for all our bathroom needs. This was definitely the VRBO to go to with a family get together or a friends get together. Amanda was so easy to contact & go over things with. A great host indeed! My party all voted this VRBO to get a 5 Star rating for sure!!🎉👍

The 5 bedroom home on Highland Lake in Winsted CT was by far the best rental we have had in the last 20 years. We have rented Oceanfront, Lakefront and Mountainside properties in the past and this place surpassed all of them. Starting with the extra large “Gourmet Kitchen”, spacious Dining room, living room and comfy enclosed porch overlooking the lake, down to the five spacious bedrooms, our stay was perfect. Even with the inclement weather we encountered the spaciousness inside the home guaranteed a fun and relaxing time for everyone from our 3 year old granddaughter right up through the grandparents. Amanda and her husband Larry were extremely helpful and always just a phone call away. When we mentioned the propane tanks felt a little low Larry was there the next morning and had them both filled. We rented a pontoon boat at the local Marina (2 minutes away) and all 9 of us headed out to explore Highland Lake and made a stop at the 3rd Bay sandbar where we all jumped in and had a great time. Our 5 year old grandson went fishing from the dock and caught his first fish along with many more during our weeklong stay. You will not be disappointed if you rent here and we are definitely coming back in the future.

Highland Lake is an amazing place to have a vacation and this house was a great place to do it at. The water is clean and refreshing and it was nice to have a little beach just yards down the street for smaller children that visited. The house was clean, updated, and had plenty of room for guests. Deck was great for cooking out or just relaxing looking out over the water. Highly recommend

Lovely, large home with nice views of the lake. Kitchen is well-stocked, three levels of bedrooms gave everyone privacy. Deck was perfect for outdoor dining. Hot tub was a huge hit. Would definitely return!

This is a beautiful property and spacious enough for all of us. The kids had fun playing games and using the toys for the lake. The adults enjoyed the chefs kitchen and large dining room table. We all spent hours at the dock enjoying the lake and we rented a pontoon boat from the local marina. I called Amanda with a minor problem and she and her husband responded immediately. I highly recommend this house, it's perfect!!!!!

We gathered from as close as West Hartford and as far as Montreal, Florida and California. The house was perfect with large open areas like the kitchen/dining/living area for the whole group and lots of smaller places for more intimate chats, private online work and/or homework assignments. The multiple fridges, ovens, bathrooms meant that everyone had their needs met without long waits. Long walks, dips in the lake or the hot tub, etc., it all added up to a lovely week over too soon!
