Loved the property but had a few bumps
Cute cottage that fit our needs. The lake is beautiful and close by. Kitchen was great. However, we had issues 2 nights in a row with chirping smoke alarms and finally got a new battery to fix the issue ourself. Was not happy with the manager not getting it fixed sooner. Also, the bikes were not as shown on the picture and we were not able to ride them since they were rusty, low tires, and had 2 children's bikes (we were all adults). That was a real disappointment since we wanted to ride. Overall, it's a cute property in a great location and wonderful yard, but there were some issues during our stay.

cute and comfortable cottage
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!

Nice Cottage
I had some concerns prior to my arrival and Joe was amazing, addressing them immediately. The property is very nice, neighborhood is great, lake was beautiful. Cottage had everything we needed, kitchen was fully stocked with dishes and utensils - even provided paper plates and plastic utensils if you don’t want to do dishes. Sufficient pots, pans and cooking tools, even included BBQ tools. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit, was able to rest and relax as desired.

Some R and R by Coventry Lake
This is a lovely spot. The blue and white theme was very cheerful. We found the beds to be very comfy. It was handy to have a bedroom on the first floor. It was a lovely neighborhood of cottages and some larger houses. We didn't bike or kayak, but it was great to have the option. It was a short walk to the lake, and there's a small parking lot if needed. I recommend the UCONN dairy bar for ice cream, and there was a pizza place very close by that was very good. UCONN also has an art museum and a small sports museum. Great trip, thanks !

Classic New England charm with classic New England hospitality...!
Just a one night stay to see our daughter perform at the UConn Dance Company spring showcase. Perfectly appointed 3 bedroom cottage in a quiet lakeside neighborhood. Joseph made sure we had everything we needed. Only a few miles from campus and a great alternative to the Graduate at a comparable price. Will be back for sure...!

Birthday Overnight
What an adorable place to stay. The host thought of absolutely everything from a spare toothbrush to cushy towels. Everything smelled fresh and clean. We made a family birthday dinner for my 19 year old daughter in the kitchen that had everyhing we needed to cook it and we relaxed after with some birthday cake and a game of chess. My daughters attend UCONN and the New England Conservatory so it was the perfect central location for us to gather.

Darling, well appointed vacation cottage with great amenities
This rental does have the quirks of a small, older property, but is very well appointed in terms of cleanliness and amenities. We were particularly impressed with the quality of the towels and dishware as well as the newer washer/dryer, and enjoyed using the kitchen and the board games. We were there in wintertime, so did not get to enjoy the lake's beach or water sport options, but can see how they'd be great fun! The patio seems like a lovely spot to enjoy good weather as well. The place was easy to find, parking was plentiful, and the neighborhood seemed quiet but probably gets busy in summer time. Communication with the owner was personal and plentiful - it is obvious that they care about their property and the comfort of their guests.
