My family and I had the best week at Highland Lake. The house location was perfect and had everything we needed to enjoy lake life! Amanda was an excellent host and made the whole process very easy! We can’t wait to go back!

We loved our stay on Highland Lake. The house was awesome, clean, had lake views, had a big yard, had its own private dock, was clean, and everything you'd want for a vacation or a quick getaway. Highly recommend this place and the host, Amanda, was great. Her communication was top notch. Love this place!

11 of us elderly brothers and sisters (59-84) from church had a wonderful time in this great property for four nights. Amanda is extremely accommodating and friendly. A super host indeed! The house is in a safe, quiet, and very friendly neighborhood. The scenery is amazing and the view from the property is excellent. We strolled around the lake a few times. The balcony is very comfortable and well equipped. The house has three canons, a fishing rod, and three bikes for use. The house is new and very clean. We felt at home at once. All the appliances are superb. The kitchen is meticulously equipped with all kinds of utensils and everything is very clean. This made our cooking efficient and enjoyable. The dining room and the living room are of the right size, comfortable, and are just right for us. The bedrooms are very clean and the beds are very comfortable. The master bedroom is excellent. The bathrooms are big and very clean. The TV works very well and has many popular programs. Hot water and Aircon are both excellent. The washer and dryer are quiet and worked very well. The dish washer was good. This house would be PERFECT if four things would be improved: 1) Reinstalling a few blinds that fell off. 2) Having shampoo in the bathroom on the 2/F. 3) Correcting the bathroom door on the second level: it cannot lock or close very tightly, having a 1/4 inch gap. 4) the stairs are a bit slippery. We highly recommend the host and this property!! Amanda, thank you so much!

This Highland Lake property was magical with its beyond beautiful fall colors rising above the lake & into the hills above. Our friends stated over & over “this place is better than we ever expected”!! A few of my friends commented several times how relaxing it felt to be by the lake & wake up to its beauty every morning! It was the perfect getaway for us 4 couples each having our own bedroom. The kitchen was so spacious & equipped with most everything we needed for preparing meals & dishes to eat off & plenty of silverware. The dining room table held 10 - 12 people easily. There was plenty of living space in the living room & sun room. Plus there were 3 1/2 bathrooms for all our bathroom needs. This was definitely the VRBO to go to with a family get together or a friends get together. Amanda was so easy to contact & go over things with. A great host indeed! My party all voted this VRBO to get a 5 Star rating for sure!!🎉👍

The 5 bedroom home on Highland Lake in Winsted CT was by far the best rental we have had in the last 20 years. We have rented Oceanfront, Lakefront and Mountainside properties in the past and this place surpassed all of them. Starting with the extra large “Gourmet Kitchen”, spacious Dining room, living room and comfy enclosed porch overlooking the lake, down to the five spacious bedrooms, our stay was perfect. Even with the inclement weather we encountered the spaciousness inside the home guaranteed a fun and relaxing time for everyone from our 3 year old granddaughter right up through the grandparents. Amanda and her husband Larry were extremely helpful and always just a phone call away. When we mentioned the propane tanks felt a little low Larry was there the next morning and had them both filled. We rented a pontoon boat at the local Marina (2 minutes away) and all 9 of us headed out to explore Highland Lake and made a stop at the 3rd Bay sandbar where we all jumped in and had a great time. Our 5 year old grandson went fishing from the dock and caught his first fish along with many more during our weeklong stay. You will not be disappointed if you rent here and we are definitely coming back in the future.
