Lake - PetsOK - Wi-Fi - W&D - Fire Pit - Kayaks

Pet and family, friendly

We had a nice 3 night stay at this cottage. It was comfortable and the AC worked great (it was hot that week). The lake is clean and we had the beach to ourselves the first day. The one major downfall was that the kayaks are not at the beach. In all the online photos the only kayak pic is at the beach on kayak storage racks, leading one to believe they are kept at the beach. This was a big reason I booked this location, only to discover the kayaks are at the house and it's not easy to get them to the beach (or back, since that's uphill). The owner was responsive and dropped off a couple kayak dollies which helped but still frustrating as I feel the listing was purposely misleading. The rest of the visit was lovely and enjoyable. The neighborhood is quiet and safe and the neighbors are nice. We enjoyed ice cream from the UConn dairy bar, had fun playing mini golf nearby, and mostly just enjoyed relaxing on the beach. The lake is really shallow which makes it great for kids!

Cute cottage that fit our needs. The lake is beautiful and close by. Kitchen was great. However, we had issues 2 nights in a row with chirping smoke alarms and finally got a new battery to fix the issue ourself. Was not happy with the manager not getting it fixed sooner. Also, the bikes were not as shown on the picture and we were not able to ride them since they were rusty, low tires, and had 2 children's bikes (we were all adults). That was a real disappointment since we wanted to ride. Overall, it's a cute property in a great location and wonderful yard, but there were some issues during our stay.

Comfortable stay. Walk up the street to the lake. Dog friendly which was important to us.

This rental does have the quirks of a small, older property, but is very well appointed in terms of cleanliness and amenities. We were particularly impressed with the quality of the towels and dishware as well as the newer washer/dryer, and enjoyed using the kitchen and the board games. We were there in wintertime, so did not get to enjoy the lake's beach or water sport options, but can see how they'd be great fun! The patio seems like a lovely spot to enjoy good weather as well. The place was easy to find, parking was plentiful, and the neighborhood seemed quiet but probably gets busy in summer time. Communication with the owner was personal and plentiful - it is obvious that they care about their property and the comfort of their guests.

It was a really nice place. We had a great stay. Home is equipped with the essential things ( cooking items/linens/toiletries)

Grest communication with the property management from the start of the booking process. The property had EVERYTHING we could ask for for our family visit.

Nice cottage, fully stocked. Love the coffee machine.

Double bed down stair was extremely small for 2 adults. The shed had exposed rust screws next to the bikes very dangerous for kids. The table umbrella was broken. Got water ran out after 2nd shower. Decorative Outdoor lights did not work

What an adorable place to stay. The host thought of absolutely everything from a spare toothbrush to cushy towels. Everything smelled fresh and clean. We made a family birthday dinner for my 19 year old daughter in the kitchen that had everyhing we needed to cook it and we relaxed after with some birthday cake and a game of chess. My daughters attend UCONN and the New England Conservatory so it was the perfect central location for us to gather.

Great place, very clean, and as described! Thanks for a great experience!

Perfect location for our overnight stay. Just up the street from our friends. The property was very clean, beds comfy, and communication before our stay was clear, easy and timely. Tall renters (6\'5"+ ) be aware you may need to duck a bit going through a couple doorways:)

Property was just as listed. A quiet, peaceful place to just relax. Decor of home was spot on. Everything clean and in order. I recommend highly if you are looking for some time away.

Very clean and cozy; would like to return!

After reading reviews and property information I expected a much better experience. There was a musty smell that did not go away with open windows, warped floors, and peeling paint. The place was clean but run down. I did not want to take a shower there. The shower was clean but old. Most windows did not have screens. The bed linens were clean but mattresses were not super comfortable. While we typically enjoy our stays with VRBO and have never left a bad review I don’t want to mislead the next guests. Maybe in the summer it is better since it’s by a lake and the place can air out.

Joe was very attentive and left the house very clean for us. Definitely worth the money

This is a lovely spot. The blue and white theme was very cheerful. We found the beds to be very comfy. It was handy to have a bedroom on the first floor. It was a lovely neighborhood of cottages and some larger houses. We didn't bike or kayak, but it was great to have the option. It was a short walk to the lake, and there's a small parking lot if needed. I recommend the UCONN dairy bar for ice cream, and there was a pizza place very close by that was very good. UCONN also has an art museum and a small sports museum. Great trip, thanks !

Just a one night stay to see our daughter perform at the UConn Dance Company spring showcase. Perfectly appointed 3 bedroom cottage in a quiet lakeside neighborhood. Joseph made sure we had everything we needed. Only a few miles from campus and a great alternative to the Graduate at a comparable price. Will be back for sure...!

Very clean and cozy; would like to return!

The house was as advertised. Neighborhood is quaint enjoyed our morning walks to the lake. We were visiting our son at UCONN and location was convenient to campus, the Hartford football and basketball arenas (15 minutes to all). Loved the Woke Breakfast and Coffee spot in Coventry so much that we went both mornings. One "watch out", the house is an older lake cottage and may not be ideal for people with mobility issues. Stairway to second floor is steep and narrow and rooms are small and would be difficult for a cane or walker. That was not an issue for us, but have rented VRBO's with elderly family members so that information is sometimes important for us.

This is the kind of place that makes everyone want to own a cabin on a lake! Such a cute house. We had a wonderful stay and slept so comfortably. Highly recommended.

Cute cottage in quiet neighbourhood. Since we were visiting family in the area, we did not use the bikes or kayaks. We did take walks to see the lake. Very nice VRBO owner.

I had some concerns prior to my arrival and Joe was amazing, addressing them immediately. The property is very nice, neighborhood is great, lake was beautiful. Cottage had everything we needed, kitchen was fully stocked with dishes and utensils - even provided paper plates and plastic utensils if you don’t want to do dishes. Sufficient pots, pans and cooking tools, even included BBQ tools. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit, was able to rest and relax as desired.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 40th anniversary with our kids. Wonderful neighborhood, and a comfortable home base for exploring the area.

Great location for what we needed. Did not go to the beach. Rainy and cold. But that was not our intention anyhow. Thank you Joseph.

Had a great time in this quiet neighborhood and the overall experience was wonderful. Highly recommended and would come again!
