We dodged a few storms and made the best of the Lakes high water table due to the storms that produced a lot of rainfall. Some noticeable changes inside/outside that looked great.

Aug 17, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location I chose this spot over many similar because of the boats. Not one or two or three but five! - four kayaks and a SUP. We did have to provide our own life jackets but that wasn’t a problem as the owner warned us ahead of time. The best feature of the location is that it’s on a quiet no-wake cove, rather than the main expanse of the lake. This meant that my teens were often within view and not too far from shore while goofing around.. The fire pit, air conditioning units, and sparking bathrooms were all appreciated. ##### Jocelyn M.

The sandy bottom at the end of the dock where the water was just waist-high was perfect for those in our group still learning to swim. The cove was quiet and is a "no wake" area for boaters. The lily pads near the shore didn't bother us. Priscilla was very responsive and helpful. Our only complaint was the inability to control the thermostat on the air conditioners or open windows, but Priscilla came by and made an adjustment for us. A highlight for us was a one-hour boat charter with CT Watersports. We cooked all our meals and found the kitchen and outdoor grill to be excellent for that. All-in-all a great place for our group. ##### Kathy J. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John M.

Our problem was the TV. We couldn't get it to work. Was told by the owner it was a new "Smart" TV which she also could not get to work. So the week was spent with one kiddie show we did manage to get. ##### Lois L.

The crown jewel on the cottage is the wrap around deck. We almost lived out there because even if it rained and it did a little, we could still be outside watching. The owners have done an amazing job with the care and upkeep of the cottage. I appreciate all the little things the owners did like supplying the linens (not all rentals do) and even beach towels. The kitchen had some little things that one might forget like salt and pepper and other condiments, however, the best part is that the kitchen has the highest quality appliances. The cabinets are plentiful with lots of dishes, bowls and pots (especially for cooking corn in) and pans - all that one would need for a very pleasant stay. I especially like sitting on the deck with my morning coffee when the sun comes up! After all of us went home, my daughter texted me a message, "Mom, we made a lot of memories there!" A special thanks to the owners who provided us with this very special place. ##### Lindsay M. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John M. Aug 2, 2021 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Vacation getaway My wife and i have been vacationing on lakes with our boat(s) for over 25 years. Our kids and their friends grew up swimming, boarding, knee boarding. skiing, tubing and just hanging out having fun. Life's too short to not have fun. This house met every need and Priscilla was awesome. What a great lake and equally what a great home. (Don't pay attention to the reviews about the road noise. Yes it is quite busy but it didn't bother us in the least. You want quiet head to the forest :) ##### John M. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hilton Garden Inn Norwalk](https://www.expedia.ca/Stamford-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Norwalk.h580328.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Desert-Springs-Resort-Spa.h17123.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Desert Willow Villas, Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Desert-Willow-Villas.h3304313.Hotel-Information) > > [EVEN Hotel Norwalk by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Stamford-Hotels-EVEN-Hotel-Norwalk.h2584.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Hi-Ho - Contactless Check-In](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Haven-Hotels-Hi-Ho-A-Hi-Tech-Hotel.h12354480.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Resort & Club, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-La-Quinta-Resort-Club.h10916.Hotel-Information) > > [Americas Best Value Inn Torrington CT](https://www.expedia.ca/Torrington-Hotels-Americas-Best-Value-Inn-Torrington-CT.h5738.Hotel-Information) > > [Bavarian Inn of Frankenmuth](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Bavarian-Inn-Of-Frankenmuth.h9809515.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulalip Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Tulalip-Resort-Casino.h2161524.Hotel-Information) > > [Stardust Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/North-Stonington-Hotels-Stardust-Motel.h2325593.Hotel-Information) > > [Avon Old Farms Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Hartford-Hotels-Avon-Old-Farms-Hotel.h2635.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Greenwich](https://www.expedia.ca/Stamford-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Greenwich.h18180.Hotel-Information) > > [Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort and Players Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Hogansburg-Hotels-Akwesasne-Mohawk-Casino-Resort.h6009138.Hotel-Information) > > [Mayflower Inn & Spa, Auberge Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Torrington-Hotels-Mayflower-Inn-Spa.h170742.Hotel-Information) > > [The Brook at Turning Stone Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Utica-Hotels-Turning-Stone-Resort-And-Casino.h1684407.Hotel-Information) > > [Economy Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/East-Hartford-Hotels-Economy-Inn.h11504.Hotel-Information) > > [Motel 6 Bethel, CT - Danbury](https://www.expedia.ca/Danbury-Hotels-Howard-Johnson-By-Wyndham-Bethel.h1635858.Hotel-Information) > > [Extended Stay America Select Suites Hartford Manchester](https://www.expedia.ca/Hartford-Hotels-Extended-Stay-America-Suites-Hartford-Manchester.h872029.Hotel-Information) > > [Six Flags Great Escape Lodge & Indoor Waterpark](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-George-Hotels-Six-Flags-Lodge-Indoor-Waterpark.h1385446.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn Milford](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Haven-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Milford.h13007.Hotel-Information) > > [Homewood Suites by Hilton Hartford-Farmington](https://www.expedia.ca/Hartford-Hotels-Homewood-Suites-By-Hilton-Hartford-Farmington.h203496.Hotel-Information) > > [Whitney Inn & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Haven-Hotels-Whitney-Inn-Suites.h18660.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Hartford South/Glastonbury](https://www.expedia.ca/Hartford-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Hartford-SouthGlastonbury.h984868.Hotel-Information) > > [J House Greenwich](https://www.expedia.ca/Stamford-Hotels-J-House-Greenwich.h8392.Hotel-Information) > > [Baymont by Wyndham East Windsor Bradley Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Hartford-Hotels-Baymont-By-Wyndham-East-Windsor-Bradley-Airport.h28055.Hotel-Information) > > [Angel Of The Winds Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Angel-Of-The-Winds-Casino-Resort.h9689970.Hotel-Information) > > [HYATT house Hartford North/Windsor](https://www.expedia.ca/Hartford-Hotels-HYATT-House-Hartford-NorthWindsor.h2220580.Hotel-Information) > > [Dramatic family home directly on the Saugatuck River in Westport, CT](https://www.expedia.ca/Stamford-Hotels-Dramatic-Waterfront-Family-Home-Directly-On-The-Saugatuck-River-In-Westport.h39035595.Hotel-Information) > > [PEACEFUL SPA ESCAPE MINUTES TO MOHEGAN SUN CASINO](https://www.expedia.ca/Norwich-Hotels-PEACEFUL-SPA-ESCAPE-MINUTES-TO-MOHEGAN-SUN-CASINO.h18789947.Hotel-Information)
