Great location in central CT! House right on the lake, large, spacious. Easy access to food, golf, etc.

The descending stairs from the kitchen/dining level were an issue. Ascending same stairs are not a problem because the risers are painted white. The lip of the stairs need to show some kind of contrast so they don’t appear to be on same plane as the level below. Overall all our needs were met. The kitchen was well stocked and the hub of our stay since we did alot of holiday cooking.

We wanted to take some time to think before we wrote a review. We had a wonderful time but felt we needed to be honest to help future renters and the homeowner. The cleanliness of the home was not the best. In the welcome booklet it was stated no food upstairs since they like the white linens which is totally fine! Yet there were stains on the white sheets in the master bedroom (Upon telling the contact person they did come and change them). The mattress in the master bedroom has a protective cover on it which is understandable. Yet we felt it should have had a mattress pad over that because it felt and sounded like we were sleeping on a potato chip bag. (The mattress pad can be taken off and washed between renters) There was open leftover food in the freezer that you could tell had been there a while. When people are coming to the home they are bringing food and are expecting space to put it in There was dried food stuck on the ceiling above the stove. There was dirt and debris underneath the baseboard heater. We noticed this in the kitchen. We didn’t inspect the rest of the baseboards. The deck on the house is big and very usable yet it def needed TLC. Needed to be cleaned up. (swept off between renters) The outdoors needed TLC. everything needed pruning. It was very overgrown. We had one more thing that bothered us. We came back from an outing to find a car in the driveway and met a man who said said he went in the house to drop off some paper products. We felt that was held improperly. We should have been informed that he was stopping by. (Leave items on the porch in a bag). He just went in the house without us knowing. Which seems inappropriate and an invasion of privacy for multiple reasons. We expected when spending this kind of money for a rental that these things should not have been an issue. I

Fantastic home. Beautiful views. Large deck was great for a family birthday party. At least half of the deck was shady all day. Plenty of deck furniture. We did encounter a lot of bees on the deck. Lots of kitchen counter space. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. The parking was great for many cars for our party. Owner was flexible for our needs. Plenty of room in the bedrooms and 2 very large full size bathrooms upstairs. The master bedroom view of the lake was amazing. The plastic covering on the mattresses made for disruptive sleep when you or your partner move. The lake was not too busy with motorized boats so we were able to hang out on floats every day.

This is a lovely property and we enjoyed our stay. The views are beautiful. I was hoping there would be kayak rental on the lake, but there was not. This location is close enough to take day trips to Long Island Sound. I highly recommend!

Perfect place for a very hot week😎

What a beautiful place! The home is large enough to spread out a bit and has a wonderful wall of glass to observe the gorgeous lake. We had a great stay in this beautiful home. I'll be back:)

The lake house was beautiful with lovely even in winter and very warm and comfortable. Very close to a number of great restaurants and the lodge so great location. Large two person jacuzzi tub which is a great place to relax. Perfect for a couple or family to be comfortable in. The kitchen was also well equipped for cooking and baking which was a great plus. Definitely coming back!

A beautiful light-filled home on a lake, perfect for a family vacation.

The house was great - had everything we needed for our Thanksgiving stay. Beautiful lake views. The communication with Ray was very easy and he was super responsive. We’ll definitely be back.

Very nice place - huge, airy, clean, quiet and truly a lovely location. We had a little problem with the Wi-Fi as we didn't have our XFinity account log-in with us and the one we were given didn't work. Will be better prepared next time. But we had a lovely time and would go back in a heartbeat.

We had a lovely stay at this lakeside house with glorious windows and a beautiful deck. Ray was quite responsive to our minor requests.

What I had liked about the property was the location of the house by the lake, the deck, and the back of the house having glass from floor to ceiling so you get a beautiful view of the lake and trees from the inside. My only issue I had was that there was only one TV. Something to consider for families with kids.
