Escape to our rustic lakefront home in Griswold, CT. Our home is on an oversized lot giving you plenty of privacy and space to enjoy the waterfront. Enjoy the beautiful views (the sunsets are particularly spectacular) from multiple outdoor seating areas, the dock, or the 2 firepits. There is also a balcony off of the large king size bedroom. This home rental includes the use of the kayak at no charge.

The house is direct waterfront on Ashland Lake, a ponded section of the Pachaug River in Griswold, CT. You can fish, swim, kayak, canoe, and more in the extremely picturesque waters right off the grassy backyard of our cottage home. Use our kayak or bring your own if you prefer - you can boat right from our personal dock in the backyard.

Although you will want to spend as much time as possible enjoying the water and the views we have gone the extra mile to make all aspects of our waterfront house feel like home.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
The house has a lot of potential but needs some work. The floors were not clean when we got there, had been vacuumed but clearly not mopped causing a gritty layer. Some of the windows don’t have screens and there were a number of flies in the house when we got there, despite not opening these windows. Check in was easy and the hosts were friendly and responsive. The house has been updated but the new counters in the kitchen hung too low, past the top of the door to the dishwasher making it impossible to open it. The hammock outside is torn up and the yard is a bit of a mess. Overall, it was fine. Had the space advertised and the beds were clean. We opted not to ask to have anything addressed as we weren’t there long and didn’t want to deal with someone coming in to clean or fix anything so I can’t speak to that.
