Amazing Trip - Wish We Have Stayed Longer
We had an amazing stay at this beautiful lake house! The views were stunning, and the house itself was clean, cozy, and well-equipped with everything we needed. We especially loved spending mornings on the deck with coffee and evenings by the water. It's the perfect spot for a relaxing getaway, and we can't wait to come back!

Relaxing getaway
We stayed for 4 days and 3 nights at the house. Its a great location of you want to also hit up the casinos, which we did. The area is nice and quiet so we really enjoyed sitting outside and relaxing. My only cons is the basic cleanliness/upkeep. I know that the outside will have leaves and branches due to having trees around but the corner areas of wet piles of leaves and the weeds in all the gravel made it look really unkept. Besides a few touchups of paint and cleaning of some of the wall surfaces that are touched alot like near outlets the inside is juat as described.

Our stay at the Lakehouse
Overall accommodations were s stated. We booked there because it was the closest place to Foxwoods. We ha to run back and forth. Recommendions: While ther was a spacious yard and lovely view of the lake, the yard a decks could have cleaner.

Lake House Serenity
The Lake House was exactly as advertised and was a great place to land. Sitting out on the dock first thing in the morning was very peaceful and serene. We came to CT for an extended family reunion and thoroughly enjoyed having the Lake House as our nightly landing zone/quiet place. We had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend this location for a couple, family of 4, or more. The house could have easily accommodated more people but was very comfortable for our group of 6. Conveniently located to several family friendly activities. Great Wolf Lodge is under construction at the Foxwoods Casino which should be open in the near future.

Quiet getaway with beautiful water view
Loved the view of the pond from the various outdoor seating areas. The small dock was great for the best view and was fun to see the turtles. So peaceful, reminded us of a bird sanctuary. Michael and Ashleigh were very responsive to any inquiry we made. Kitchen nice size and well equipped for our stay. Especially enjoyed using one of the two fire pits for a relaxing evening under the stars. Thanks so much!

Review
So this is a 2 bedroom and a basement with beds. The basement "room" was very cold. My kids froze down there. Only one mirror in a house that says it sleeps 8. The entertainment room is part of the basement with the bunkbeds and has a projector that projects on a wall in the room. The lake is pretty and they do have kayaks and vests, that was a perk. The patio and fire pit area was spring covered, leaves and sticks. The fire pit had a huge pile of debree in it and we were afraid to light it as it was under a tree. Neighborhood was quiet but we didnt expect the trailor park next door. With anything you make the best of it.

Our family enjoyed this lakefront getaway. This property provided space to spend time together and space to have quiet time. The property was clean and well kept and provided all the necessities we needed. This property is convenient to Mystic area and off the busy roads to escape the noise of traffic. We would return to this property in the future.

A decent little house, lots of space and a really nice sized yard on the water. Beautiful view. The owner was very responsive to my concerns when I reached out to her about the cleanliness on our arrival. Our stay was ok- I’m sure it’s great in the summer with kids - the yard looks wonderful.

Nice Stay
The stay overall was good. We used the space to get ready for a wedding the morning of and had some friends over after the wedding for a fire by the lake. Only mentionables would be that the half bath is just a toilet under the stairs with no sink which was unexpected but worked out ok. The yard/patio/deck areas were covered in leaves and we had to sweep them ourselves. Over all the hosts were very nice and responsive and I would recommend a stay here!
