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

The house is cute but very small. In the pictures it looks bigger, also the stairs to the second floor are very steep and narrow so not ideal for older people. The house was also not clean very well. We found a dirty sweater and half full bottle of water in one of the rooms, a chewed dog bone full of hair in the living room couch, a bloom stain in one of the beds and there were also a few hair balls on the kitchen floor. If cleaned properly is not that bad.
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.
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.
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!

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.
I had such a great time staying at this cute little lake house for a week. The space was nice and cozy, the amenities were perfect, and I didn't want for a single thing while I was there. Can't wait to come back!
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.
