Everyone in our group of 12 enjoyed their stay. The ages rnged fron 12 to 80. There was fishing from the dock and the provided canoe, kayak, and SUPs. The ducks and beaver swam by everyday. There was lots of swimming. A nightly fire in the big fire pit. A corn hole tournament of the lagrge green space in front of the house. Also room to set set up a badminton net. Only one hot night, otherwise it was open windows every day and night. The whole house fan really worked pulling in the cool air then pullingg it thru the house. A front screen door would have been nice. Dish washing would have been easier if the light over the sink had worked. A suggestion to the owner is to replace all the interior lights with LEDs. The kitchen was well equipped. Interesting to not there was a great microwave oven! However all the dinner and dessert plates were marked non-microwaveable. Either a knife sharpener or a few more sharp knives would have been welcome. Visited the Gillette Castle, needed a reservation so did not get inside. Also visited Mystic, if you go be sure to buy an ice cream at the Drawbridge Ice Cream Shop and say hi to Connor. We also made a trip to the beach! One final wish; it would have been nice if the owner provided a guest book to sign and a history of the house. It was pretty amazing.
property is gorgeous
We had a wonderful vacation at this property. So much space with room to spare. We never used the 3rd floor since it was just too hot, but we still had plenty of room for 18 of us. Lived the large yard and the waterfront deck (shaded by the trees) was great. Such a quiet, peaceful place. Thank you for sharing this property!
Amazing location on the lake. Plenty of room for all!
My family, ages 14 to 77 spent a week at this exceptional home and memories were made every day. Everything was there that one would want, weather it was for cooking, entertainment or just plain comfort. The house had many different gathering areas, we never felt crowded. Most of our time was spent outdoors playing lawn games or in the crystal clear lake. Thank you for sharing that treasure with us. Hopefully we will return.
Family ages 2-84 reunion. Perfect home, location, Lakefront. So much to enjoy! We had a blast!
Owners always have a surprise for us to enjoy, a popcorn machine one year, new kayak or fire pit etc. Lake is amazing, clean sandy or rocky bottom. Great size yard for family games like Volleyball or bocci. Our kids love it as well as their grandparents.The house is wonderful, always clean with plenty of space. The balconies are perfect getaways for coffee, reading, quiet times with sunrises to live for!
This home and location is perfect for our large family ages 2-84. We kayak, fish, canoe, swim all day have campfires, make memories is the best way to describe it. We usually stay there twice a year.
Awesome great get away for pre wedding party in super spacious Victorian Quiet secluded waster front escape Will return and recommend to family and friends
We enjoyed this special home in July of 2011, with a family reunion of 18 people of all ages. We were able to bring our small wood runabout to use on the lake and enjoyed tubing and water skiing. There is a wonderful deck by the water which we enjoyed and the swimming was great, the water cool and clear. The home is well appointed and very large, it was very easy to gather together or find a quiet place to enjoy some solitude. There are wonderful porches and patios outside and a great porch swings to enjoy. This is a wonderful place for a family to gather - truly a lovely and peaceful spot with a large yard and great places to play ! The owners cherish this home so be prepared to care for it well if you choose to stay. I promise it is worth it....we had a wonderful time and will have great memories of this family reunion for many years to come.
