Enjoyed a family gathering in this perfect lake house. Clean, thoughtfully appointed, fabulous porch and more ….. We will return!

Great location

We had a great stay at Anne and Ed’s property on Waramaug. The house was exactly what we expected and hoped for, and I would recommend anyone looking for a quiet spot on the lake to consider staying at their beautiful home.

This house was ideal! The five bedrooms accommodated our two families. The proximity to the lake (right across the street) was perfect. We spent mornings relaxing on the porch rocking. One afternoon we hiked Kent Falls and another we visited Thorncrest farm. A stellar vacation!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely lake house! Plenty of living space, a wonderful porch with comfortable furniture, and a beautiful view of the lake. The kitchen is well stocked with everything needed to cook and plate delicious meals. The boathouse has lots of equipment to have fun on the lake and comfy chairs if prefer to just relax on the dock. The property manager was easy to reach for questions and was very responsive. Definitely a good choice for anyone looking for a quiet, tranquil getaway.

I am a vrbo owner and have frequently stayed at other VRBO’s. If you are looking at this property and area, you know the market is limited and the price is high ( with an add on price for linens). This was known and expected. While we really enjoyed our stay, I was surprised to receive a surcharge for cleaning ( above and equal to the regular cleaning fee). The renters agreement requires that the place is left in the “ same level of cleanliness “ as when you moved in. We cleaned up and left the place neat. However, because there were crumbs on the floor and counter top and stove had not been scrubbed , the added charge was made. Neither we ( because it was unexpected) nor the owner have picture of the condition we left the kitchen ( we cooked and had kids). While I agree it was not “same level “ of clean when we moved in “ , it was left it good shape and in a condition one would expect would be a “normal” clean ,after one has cooked and used the kitchen for a week. We cleaned as we went, covering major spills ect. I sure the property owner will respond with a different version of the condition… but warning Turns out that the owner views the charged cleaning fee to cover only light “tidy up” My first thought was to not review and post this penny ante dispute, And the property is very nice. Just make sure you scrub the floors ,stove and counters like you were expecting paying guests rather than having a housekeeper clean.

Our return visit didn’t disappoint! House is in great shape and in one of the best locations on the lake! The host communicated clearly and quick to respond when an occasional small issue arises. Already planning our return for a third time next year :)

What a fabulous overall experience at the 'Waterfront House on Lake Waramaug'!! Rob and Anne were such a pleasure to work with and were so accommodating. They made my friends and I feel so welcome and had all the house details/specifics so perfectly, and clearly laid out on our arrival. They had thought through everything! And the surround area could not be more gorgeous - the incredible views (especially from the front porch!!), the local winery and cute town. The only negative was not having more time there! We're hoping to be able to rent again in the future. You can not go wrong with this amazing VRBO rental - thank you for everything Rob & Anne!
