This place was clean and everything you expected. True to description. Host where attentive. We didn’t spend too much time at the house because we stayed the area for a week of training but it worked out perfectly. Close to Waterbury where we needed to travel everyday.

This property was a hidden gem! While it wasn’t directly on the lake, the views from the master bedroom were beautiful. The neighborhood was nice and even had a little park just up the street that our daughter enjoyed. The house was exactly as described. Spotless, fully stocked with everything you needed and then some.Yoka and Val were wonderful hosts. We had great communication throughout our stay. We had such a lovely time that we decided to extend our stay! We highly recommend this lake house and can’t wait to come back again. Thank you for the accommodations, flexibility and most of all your kindness. It was a great trip with lots of memories made.

Really cute house and well kept, clean.We had a great time and the host was responsive throughout our stay. The only thing to note, is that we kinda thought that the house was right on the lake. It's not. It's across the street from the lake and access is only available 1-2 min walk down the road through a neighborhood lake access. You don't really have lake views except through the window of the house.
