Beautiful place!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The house is beautiful. So much lovely wood and, of course the view of the lake is amazing. The host were fast to reply and helpful. Our visit kept us busy with family events, but I wish we had had more time to enjoy the lake and all the wonderful amenities the house had to offer. We hope to be back!

Very nice location and home

The place itself is great. Owner was very responsive on the first night when we had an issue with the heat. A little less responsive when we mentioned that we replaced a couple of broken rollers on the bed (our cost) and had to shovel the driveway to get our car out after a few attempts made it about half way (pretty steep driveway and of course it's the morning we had to head to the airport).

The property was lovely; in a very quiet and friendly neighborhood. We were there for work not on vacation, but it was lovely and we had everything we could need available to us. I would very highly recommend this rental.

Memories on the lake

We lived in this part of Connecticut for 30 years and thoroughly enjoyed being back to explore our old haunts (and some new ones). The cottage was in the perfect location for our adventures. It is a cozy, well-built place with fabulous views on the fall foliage across the lake. It is near the Hop River State Park Trail for hiking which we enjoyed as well.
