Great house to gather with friends!

12 of us stayed here for a boys weekend. We came in the off season so the town was very quiet, but we had plenty of fun with the space the home offers. Between the large outdoor deck, living room and pool room we had plenty of space to have fun. Would highly recommend for a get away with family/friends. Brittany was a great host and responded quickly to all inquiries. Thanks fie a great stay!

Memorable Lake Accommodations

Great property! Our family was in town to celebrate a wedding at a nearby venue. This property had great views, was clean, spacious, and had a variety of activities to keep the group entertained. Would highly recommend this property if you travel to the area. Additionally, the host, Brittany kept us well informed!

Great Family Gathering

This house was a great place for our family of 15 to stay together while we were in Connecticut for my son's wedding. The kitchen, great room and the deck were wonderful places to hang out together. The kitchen was very well equipped.

Fabulous house for a cozy getaway

The house is absolutely gorgeous (and very instagrammable if you want some fun vacation selfies). Kitchen is well-stocked, and the hosts are super responsive and considerate. The downstairs bedrooms get chilly in the winter, but space heaters were provided so not a big deal (maybe bring some extra layers if it’s winter and you’re especially sensitive to cold). The living room/open kitchen area is spacious and wonderful for hanging around in a group, cooking, playing board games, and spending time with friends and family. We also had a great time with the pool table and game room! Would absolutely stay again.

Great gathering place!

Four couples traveled to meet at this amazing house! It was the perfect gathering place with plenty of room! The beds were all super comfortable and everyone had enough privacy. The lake views were beautiful from the living room/kitchen and deck. Owners were very responsive and easy to work with. We would definitely come back.
