"A perfect weekend getaway with a breath taking lake view! Peaceful & quite. Great location short drive to many places of interest. Very clean & comfortable accommodations and wonderful communication with the host of this property. If you are looking for a lake front escape this is the place! "

"A traditional family lake cottage. Peaceful, quiet, and rented with love. Everything from the thoughtful little notes in the home to the paintings on the wall makes you feel cozy and welcomed. Everything you could need or want is provided. The hot tub under the stars, on the water is really the icing on the cake."

"Has everything you need for 2, for a Summer stay. (The portable heater didn't keep up with the December evenings)."

"House was very clean, well equipped and had everything we needed to enjoy a relaxing getaway as a family. We enjoyed the firepit, covered porch and lakeside fun."

"I was in the area for my niece's college graduation at Wesleyan University and loved the chance to explore this beautiful part of the country. Being so close to the water in Old Saybrook was amazing, and the house itself was both fresh and cozy. The hosts were very responsive, and the only issue (which they acknowledged in advance) was that a portion of the fence was missing, due to a recent storm. That said, they were up front and apologetic, knowing that I'd booked because my dogs were along....

"We went to Foxwoods for a concert and the rooms there were ridiculously priced. I ended finding this little gem on VRBO. Would highly recommend, especially for families. Kids had a blast"

"House was beautiful and well-accommodating. Minutes from campus. Proximity to lake was a plus! Owner responsive and pleasant. Would stay here again!"

"The property is very peaceful and relaxing the owners are delightful! Would definitely come back."

"Adorable cottage with full kitchen, luxurious bathroom and comfiest beds!! Cutest cul de sac with friendly neighbors"

"I booked this for a sister weekend. It was perfect for what we needed. It appears that the house was built to be a summer getaway, so it is pretty basic and no frills and comes with all the creaks and quicks of an older house. The living room is perfect for hanging out and the four chairs make it easy to rearrange to suit your needs. The kitchen is nicely stocked with everything you would need to stay with a family and the dining room is spacious enough to easily accommodate everyone staying...

"This cottage is so adorable and just a short walk to the beach and a local convenience store. This makes it easy to park the car and just walk to get coffee and such. We stayed in October so not much open this time of year, but we were in the area for a family wedding so not much time to hang out anyway. This was the first time I've rented on Vrbo, so I wasn't sure what to expect as have read a lot about obnoxious owners with tons of rules, but Brett is super-chill with only a couple of things...

"The tree outfront needs to be trimmed desperately. Turning out of the house was quite dangerous. The house was cute and old. It was a 15-20 minute drive to all nearby attractions."

"Relaxing and beautiful sunset views , Clean and floor plan one floor plan was perfect ! Spacious and so nice to relax on this vacation ! Close to everything we needed !"

"The cottage was quite wonderful with a large kitchen and comfy porched living-room. Scott was very quick regarding any communication. The only thing in the description that I would add is that " you'll need to bring your own towels and bed linens". It wasn't a problem, but our airplane carry-on bags only were already packed. We made our adjustments and ended up checking a bag, no worries. Just a thought. We thoroughly enjoyed its quiet and relaxing location."

"Very intimate cottage setting, lovely beach scenery, walking distance to the beach, feet away from hearing the crash of the waves. Short drive to grab whatever you have forgotten or need to enhance your stay in this tiny home. Great location to unplug, energize, and bond with your family. You can create the quality time you miss out on in the world today, you will not have the distractions of television, internet, or gaming."

"This property was probably one of the nicest I have ever stayed in Mystic. Some rentals are just that, rentals, but this truly felt like a home in every way. It was impeccably, clean and decorated, and no detail was spared. Communication with the agent was seamless, and was able to arrange for early check-in. Highly recommend this place and will definitely come back. Walking distance to just about everywhere in downtown Mystic."

"Overall experience was great. Price was fair. Could use a bit more organization but it still is a lake house and was plenty comfortable for my family. Will absolutely book again"
