My family and I rented this home for 2 weeks in July! The home is beautifully organized, extremely clean (it was spotless!) and you can’t beat the views of pinewood lake. As a family or 4, we truly appreciated the extra towels/beach towels provided, outdoor games and the lawn space was perfect. The hammock was also so nice to relax in. Three of the four bed options were very comfortable, pillows and linens provided were perfect. The only thing I would recommend are sliding door screens for the sliding doors below. This was our first time booking through VRBO and I highly recommend this home. Martha was extremely responsive and was a terrific host! My family truly loved our stay!

My husband grew up in Connecticut. He can tell you where Hartford, Bridgeport and New Haven are, but he had never experienced Trumball until the time we spent at this idyllic lake house for my daughter’s graduation from Yale University. Calling all Yale parents —once you stay here you may opt out of ever staying at a New Haven hotel again. We were concerned that the drive to and from campus would be tiring and long —but found just the opposite. A quick 25 minute drive away from the city to this lakeside retreat. Comforting, peaceful, serene and everything our family needed to be together and celebrate my daughter’s graduation, And another Bonus—our grad pictures by the lake are super special! We highly recommend this house. You will not be disappointed.

I booked The Pinewood Retreat for Easter weekend so we could meet our college-age son half way from home. Martha was excellent with communication both before and during our stay. We arrived to find the house completely spotless, and organized with everything we could possibly need. The house was nicely updated with recessed lighting, and crown molding, while still maintaining the charm of this New England lake house. The countless windows provided lovely views of the lake. On the warmer days, we played shuffleboard and lounged in the hammock. We enjoyed many meals together around the big dining table and had everything we could possibly need in the updated kitchen. We even dyed eggs and had our annual egg hunt outside. For anyone looking for a quality stay with super attentive hosts, this is a perfect find. Thank you, Martha and Rick, for sharing your beautiful home with us!
