Peaceful WATERFRONT Cottage Near Mystic and Casinos

We would stay again. The lake was clean and nice for kayaking and sitting and relaxing. Screen-in porch was great!!! No bugs, and very nice view of the lake. Couldn't ask for a more tranquil and relaxing setting. House was clean and the bathroom shower was amazing! 10/10!

Great weekend on the lake. Cottage is very cosy, it's clean and well maintained, easy to get to from the highway. Kayaks were great and there are no bigger boats on the lake so it was safe for the kids to kayak together too. We would stay again

The house had a beautiful view and the screen porch was very nice for both us and the dogs to walk in and out of! We would have liked a little more seating but overall it was a great place!

Less than it was hyped to be! The reviews that gave it eight 8 1/2 nine points out of 10 clearly fraudulent. MANY Statments100% untrue like "lots of comfortable seating". there was not one comfortable seat inteh whole palce except a plastic Adirondac chair on the proch. the couch was terrible. the only other inside seating were dining high bar stool type chairs not comfortable for many seniors. to be fair there is a clear attempt to hag stylish clean place but it is not quite there. yet. BBQ utelsils were excellent but the bbq itself is charcoal was a very rusty grate and no charcoal, fluid or lighter. the upstairs is quite nice as it the bathroom. the downstairs bedroom is OK. Screen porch with tears letting in bugs. pots and pans are terrible. i got poison ivy while I was there it's right in front of the parking mixed in with the viy hedge. the first three stape from the driveway has not hand rail and a retaining board that is easy to trip on for us in our 70's. the rest of the stairs are well lit.. Great shower. AC works well butmust leave on while away if a hot day. the area is great with lots to see and do. go to the red 36 restaurant really great seafood and view from the deck. the lake is not swampy. the cove you are on has some lily pads but the water is clean. and clear for 6 feet. No boats seen on the lake the dock is too small for a boat and you cannot get out of the lake to the river.

While the house was great, there were no mosquitoes and the owners responded quickly to most issues that we had, there was a massive amount of poison ivy growing among the english ivy going from the parking area, down both sides and through the steps and on two sides of the first yard terrace (there were 3 or 4 levels - we didn't go any further than the first level). Unfortunately, we didn't notice the poison ivy until we were walking back UP the steps. I am highly allergic. Husband put a plastic bag over his arm and pulled what was growing through the steps so we could safely traverse back and forth to the car, and we parked facing in rather than backing in, but we didn't use the yard, kayaks or lake at all because we weren't sure if there was more. I will be on steroids for the next two weeks. Not the ending to a vacation weekend that I was looking for.

Lovely water access , well stocked kitchen supplies, and fun foosball for the kids. Nice home base for our weekend adventures.

We expected a lake that we could swim in and kayak from, as that's how it was advertised. It was extremely disappointing. The water was a swampy bog. My husband spent a lot of time just shoveling out the muck, so there was a spot to step in just to get into our kayaks. The dock was unsafe; it was not secure, plus there were rotting boards. The railings leading down from the driveway to the house, were inadequate, and completely unstable, and unsafe. The charcoal grill was not usable in my opinion. I didn't expect to rent a house on the water, and have to drive 30 minutes to find a place to swim and kayak. This house was certainly not worth the money we paid!!

Pictures don’t do it justice, nicer in person. They do a great job with automatic lights for getting down some steep stairs, so you won’t miss a step. Tiny but roomie. Bathroom shower was very nice. We did have ants present in the kitchen and there were no extra garbage bags. We went out on the pond and enjoyed the kayaks! There was some garbage outside near the water, not sure if it was from neighbors because otherwise the property was well kept. We loved spending time on the porch and used the fire pit. Everything was easy through VRBO and we had no need to contact the owners.

It was a great stay. Good space. A great place to come back to after exploring Connecticut for a few days. The pond access and kayaks were a great bonus

We were really looking forward to our stay but did not use the property because it wasn’t in the condition we expected. There was an offensive odor throughout, surfaces felt sticky, and the cottage seemed more run down than the photos suggested. The outside grounds were poorly maintained, including the walkway, dock, and stairs, and the kayaks were filthy. Indoor furniture was old and dingy, and the seating area was in poor condition.We let the host know right away, and while they offered to send cleaners, we had only booked two nights, so that would have been at best a modest improvement halfway through. We had already decided not to remain because it didn’t feel comfortable. We also requested a partial refund, which was not offered.The host was responsive, but the experience was disappointing. Future guests should be aware that the property does not meet the standards shown in the listing.

Great weekend on the lake. Cottage is very cosy, it's clean and well maintained, easy to get to from the highway. Kayaks were great and there are no bigger boats on the lake so it was safe for the kids to kayak together too. We would stay again

My host was friendly, hospitable and professional. The property was as described in the advertisement, well appointed and clean.

Enjoyed our short visit. Clean property and comfortable beds. Short ride to hiking trails in the Pachaug State Forest. Close to stores and restaurants

The best part was no noisy neighbors. The landscaping and area was very nice ! The home is clean, we had just anything necessary to make ourselves at home and enjoy ! There are steps so it wouldn't suit some people. I loved the open kitchen feel and we didn't turn on the tv even once ! Very simple, nice rental !!! Also, very nice lake views from big sliding doors !!

Great house for a little vacation. Beautiful view although it rained the whole trip we still enjoyed sitting in the porch. Some dishes was still dirty in the cupboard but didn’t really bother us. Overall good

Great stay! Place was clean, modern, and up to date. Nothing more to ask for really

This place was clean and pleasant. Porch looking out to lake was highlight.

While we picked probably the hottest, most humid week of the summer to come, this spot was a fantastic little getaway. It was just too humid to truly get out on the kayaks or two spend too much time on the porch, but the view was great every morning and every night. We had our dogs with us and they settled in nicely. The surrounding area is quiet and safe. The accommodations were very clean and comfortable. Yes, you will see the occasional ant, but there were traps laid and they were minimal. The A/C ran the entire time we were there and kept things nice and cool for us. We didn’t use (or need) the downstairs bedroom - though there did seem to be some sort of sour smell to that room. Could use a candle or something. Unfortunately the Keurig seemed to be on the fritz as it leaked when we tried to use it the first morning. Owners were more than willing to send another one, but we spent most of the week in day trips so it was a non issue. Make sure to bring some basics (paper towels, napkins, salt, pepper, butter, cooking oil, etc). The kitchen is small and basic. Has everything you need in terms of pots, pans, utensils, plates, etc. All in all - a solid location - very comfortable bed. Nice property.

This cottage was beautiful and the lake view was very relaxing. Place was clean and peaceful, exactly what we were looking for. Definitely recommend.

Nice place. Enjoyed the area. I wish they had living room furniture chairs. But would definitely stay there again.

We ended up not staying at the property. My wife and I had our children with us and it just did not meet the expectations of the photos. We were severly disappointed and felt that this property was severly overpriced for what it offered. The bathroom looks like it was recently remodeled but very little else has been done to the property. The window ACs are pretty ancient and the house is very dated with not a lot going on. If you are hoping for the waterfront that this listing promises you will be disappointed as it is a swamp. The parking space does not fit more than a compact car and the neighbors are right on you. I will say that if you and your fishing buddies are looking for a place to lay your head it would be ideal and close to great fishing. We did not pursue a refund and the owners did not offer. We ended up just taking the hefty hit and getting a hotel to avoid staying here.

We rented the cottage property because it was close to family. Both the kitchen and bathroom has been update- we did not do any cooking during our stay so can’t comment on that area. But we really appreciate the instant hot water in the bathroom. We stayed in the upstairs bedroom which was comfy with lots of closet space and room.

I had a very restful stay here, enjoyed the calming view of the lake and watching the sunset from the porch. I heard at least one frog calling at night, and enjoyed the birdsong. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen was stocked with plenty of dishes, pots and pans. I didn't use the upstairs level, but it was a great set up with bunk beds on one side and also a bed on the opposite side.

Stayed with my partner for our anniversary long weekend. Charming house with amazing views - we really appreciated the screened-in deck so we could spend time outaide without worry about bugs. The king sized bed in the loft was incredibly comfortable! Very easy to make ourselves feel at home.

It was perfect for a short weekend stay with my sisters. Not too far from cute towns and amenities. Beautiful water to look at. Easy to check in and to communicate with owners.

My host was friendly, hospitable and professional. The property was as described in the advertisement, well appointed and clean.

Nice space, great kitchen with everything we needed, nice looking lake and washer/dryer nice for travelers needs. Owner very quick to respond to questions.

We went to Connecticut for my brother, my son, and my husband's birthdays. When we arrived we were greeted with a magnificent view .The camp was done up with Christmas decorations and it was very welcoming. There is a fireplace that we all cozied up to! My son and daughter in law were very happy to find a Foosball table upstairs. We definitely want to come when the weather is warmer. The camp has a screened in porch! Big plus in my book! The owners were very communicative with our needs. I recommend people to come and enjoy this sweet little gem right off the highway.

Highly recommended! My family of four had a great time, but can easily accommodate 2 more guests as they have 2 bedrooms, one has the queen size bed and the upstair bedroom has a bunk bed and a king size bed. We brought in an inflatable rubber boat, but the owner of the lake house has 2 kayak for the guests, so we easily enjoyed boating and fishing in the lake. My husband caught one large mouth bass and was very delighted about it. We put the fish back to the water as soon as we took picture. We also enjoyed grilling one dinner of our stay and went to Olde Mystic Village. The location has some good breakfast places minutes away from the lake house. On our way back to the lake house from Olde Mystic Village, we were able to enjoy Buttonwood Home made ice cream, so this lake house is close to a lot of local destination if your idea of vacation is more towards relaxation, quiet, and discovering local attractions. This lake house is very organize in terms of instruction for check in/out and the owner is very responsive, everything is provided as described in VRBO, and more. The kitchen is well stocked with kitchen utensils/plates/glasses and have all the spices, even oil for cooking. The shampoo/conditioner/ lotion/ handsoaps/dishwashing soaps are all provided, even detergent if you want to use their washer/dryer which is excellent help when you travel with families. My 16 yr old daughter even mentioned that she couldn’t help sleeping all the time because the bed is very comfy.

We really enjoyed our stay. Our hosts were easy to contact and responded promptly to all of our needs.The home was comfortable with a great view from the screened porch. It’s a nice getaway!

This is a lovely property in a fantastic position and just what we needed for a weekend break from New York. The weather meant we didn’t really get a chance to use the outdoor areas as much as we’d hoped but we had everything we needed indoors. Michael responded really quickly to any questions we had and check-in and check-out were very easy. We’d highly recommend this cottage

We stayed in July to kayak on the water. We brought our own kayaks. Clean, clear water with many waterlilies. Rental property was exactly as described. Had a great stay. Communication with owners was excellent.

Nice quiet neighborhood. It's close to shopping and the highway, while still having the feeling of being remote.

quiet and not a lot to do in the area.

We were attending a relatives wedding in Canterbury CT and found this property ideally located for this event. The property is a very cute cottage overlooking a peaceful body of water with resplendent fall colors at this time of the the year (Mid October).

We had a wonderful stay. Very peaceful, quiet, beautiful views. We also really enjoyed Hopeville Pond State Park which was only a 5 min drive.

Our stay was very nice. The property is just as listed and the view is beautiful. 20 minutes from the casinos and 40 from Mystic.

It was a affordable long weekend in a lake house. Had easy access to the highway and things to do over in mystic

Nice and quiet place for a getaway with friends lots to do in the area!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this stunning lake house during the fall season, and it was nothing short of spectacular. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. The lake house was equipped with everything one could possibly need for a memorable stay. The fully stocked kitchen allowed us to cook delicious meals while enjoying the view, and the outdoor deck and patio were ideal for sipping coffee in the crisp morning air or sharing a glass of wine as the sun set over the lake. The provided kayaks allowed for fun and exploration on the water, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to the experience. Would definitely stay again

Nice space, great kitchen with everything we needed, nice looking lake and washer/dryer nice for travelers needs. Owner very quick to respond to questions.

A nice place to get away from the stress of being a small business owner and to celebrate my birthday with family. Loved sitting on the porch in the morning and enjoying coffee and the ducks floating by. Also the amazing sunsets were wonderful!

Lovely water access , well stocked kitchen supplies, and fun foosball for the kids. Nice home base for our weekend adventures.

This house was was perfect for our family of five. We didn’t have to search for anything. Everything came as advertised and didn’t need to contact the owners for anything out of the norm. Our littles ones fished in the morning. We watched drinking coffee from the screened in porch. They swam in the pond in the afternoon. Don’t be alarmed it is a little weedy by the dock. We rowed them out of the little cove area and they had a blast. Perfect little get away for our family. My kids are already asking to go back.
