    We had a nice getaway after a tour of our alma mater, UCONN. This welcoming and very well decorated home gave us a nice place to rest and connect after our busy day.

    My friend and I stayed here for a few days. Despite the horrible rainy weather we had a wonderful time. The house was very comfortable, clean and stocked with all necessities. The kitchen was stocked with plenty of kitchenware for your cooking needs. We had one nice day of sunny weather and drove to a nearby town in MA for lunch then used the BBQ on the deck for a beautiful dinner with lake view. Joseph, the host was very responsive when contacted.

    We rented this house for a mini getaway for our family and dog. It was adorably decorated and cozy. We loved the little touches that made it special: the old books, the fireplace, the blue themed colors, the fire pit outside.The best part was the view of the lake. My favorite memory was wrapped in a blanked on the porch drinking my coffee overlooking the lake and listening to the birds chirping.

    Nice house! Beautiful location only issue let waters run because they ran brown for the start, so don’t turn water on and jump in shower.

    My husband, in-laws and dog stayed at this property to celebrate Thanksgiving. We had a great stay cooking together, watching the football games and playing board games. I’d love to come back and enjoy the lake. Definitely recommend

    Everything was great, and plenty of space for our group of 5 adults and one toddler. Communication with the host was very easy, and everything was in place that we needed. There were many touches that make it clear they want you to feel comfortable and at home. Looking forward to visiting again in the summer to take advantage of the lake

    We had a great time. We enjoyed sitting around the firepit at night. We cooked out steaks one night. The house had items that you normally don't see in a rental such as paper plates, coffee, storage bags, etc. All of this came in handy.
