It sucked not having the hot tub working but it was way too cold out for it anyways. Also the driveway to pull in is dangerous if you have a low vehicle like myself. I kept scrapping my car. Besides that the stay was amazing and cozy and a great getaway
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. This cottage perfect for two people. The location has all the amenities you could ask for. Climbing up and down the 43 steps to cottage can be tiring especially for the elderly. There is Liquer store very close buy and grocery store within 5 miles. I must say that prices there very high, but in no way does that reflect on owner. We certainly are looking forward to coming back for another stay.
Nice cabin with great views of the lake. Enjoyed kayaks provided and the deck area. Well decorated and comfortable.
The cottage was everything depicted. Lovely spot on the lake and well equipped with everything you need. As depicted, the exterior steps are formidable, yet I use a cane and was able to manage the 40+ steps slowly and with caution. The large deck has gates at both entries which enabled our dogs to spend time outdoors without fear of their escape.
The cottage was so cute and comfortable. A nice, quiet, extremely clean place to retreat and relax. The only negative was the stairs you have to use to unpack and pack. That was a lot, but worth it.
The place is amazing. it has everything you need. Really enjoyed the fire pit right on the water. Deck view was very nice. enough seats for everyone! Long dock to enjoy the lake and the stars at night.
We loved, loved, loved this place. The pictures don't really do it justice. It was very peaceful which we needed. We were there in the fall. It is not listed as a fully stocked kitchen but we felt it was adequate and we cooked some meals there. The bed was comfortable. And Adam who answered any of our questions was very helpful. We have no complaints. Well, we didn't love all the stairs but it was worth it. We are in our 60's and have some physical limitations but we managed.
We spent the weekend here visiting our kids who attend UConn. The cabin was small but quaint and had everything you need for relaxation and meals at home. Short drive to grocery, restaurants and some fantastic fall hiking. Would stay here again - could see it being pretty and enjoyable in any season.
Relaxing. Great place for the pups too!
The cottage at Coventry lake was almost perfect. The house was very well equipped, clean, quaint with tons of outdoor space to enjoy the lake. Lots of hiking opportunities in the area which was great for us. The only reason I didn’t give full 5 stars is because of the stairs. They aren’t bad when coming and going but for checking in with all your bags and checking out, all those stairs become a mountain to climb. There is a driveway that does go down to the house but you are not allowed to use it. So pack light and you should be fine.
The house was beautiful inside and out at the end of the lake was quiet the large deck was gated so our dog didn't have to be tied up can't wait to go back
The perfect place to getaway and check out of the hustle and bustle of life. This cozy cottage was lakehouse meets farmhouse. So clean, great decor, spacious deck and right on the lake. Days spent napping, kayaking and just relaxing with a drink in hand. Highly recommended for a couples retreat.
I very much wish to come back to this lovely little home with its thoughtful touches and beautifully kept grounds — hopefully once the hot tub is up and running again! Even without the hot tub, it was one of my favorite of all the VRBO properties I’ve stayed in over the years. It has a lot of personality and I felt comfortable and at home right away. We were visited by ducklings, herons, and bunnies. We brought paddle boards and inflatables and spent time on the lake. I enjoyed the hammock, and we entertained my in-laws one evening by the fire pit. Everything was great!
