    Where do I start! First day was terrible. Tried to get a refund and after a day of several calls they agreed to refund some of the money. BUT, all the other ones I looked at were rented so no where to go other than a hotel. The house is very very tight. Small bedrooms. The Mattress’s are so bad that you literally feel the springs in your back with the two twins. Way too much junk/stuff everywhere. If you have ANY mobility problems at all, DO NOT rent this place. VERY steep steps/stairs in and out of the property. The area is remote but nice.

    Check-in was easy as the key was up under the mat. The Kitchen is fine as well.

    Awesome stay at the cottage! We thoroughly enjoyed Lake Waramaug and everything it has to offer. The house was fantastic. We grew up in CT and this style of house is very nostalgic. The only thing I would say to others looking to stay here is that it is NOT friendly to those with any mobility problems. I’m not taking away from the property, just an objective comment. Definitely recommend!

    House was very clean and cozy. Lake was a great adventure - a short walk away.

    We were in need of a nice, relaxing vacation and that’s exactly what we got. There were four of us (me, my husband, my 16-year-old, and my 11-year-old) and we each had our own space. We loved going down to the dock, and there is also a town beach just down the road. The home is filled with fun antiques and reminds you of a clean, well-kept, and charming grandmother’s house. We wanted a low-key vacation, and so we enjoyed short jaunts (less than 15 mins away) to Kent to enjoy its downtown and waterfall and bookstore and to Washington Depot (the inspiration for Gilmore Girls, which also had its own lovely bookstore). Overall, we highly recommend this home to other families needing quiet and downtime.

    It was difficult to leave this amazing place! The cottage had so much personality, and there was such an incredible view of the beautiful lake from the house, the porch and the patio. The area was enchanting, and we spent every day hiking and taking in new, beautiful sights. We wished there had been more time to explore! Danielle and Eduardo were great!!
