"Great place. Great host"

"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....

"Gorgeous home and views. Very impressed with every aspect of the stay. Thank you to owners who went way above and beyond."

"Tucked away near the sound….a piece of paradise ! Truly a beautiful place to unwind and enjoy all the North Fork has to offer . Centrally located on the North Fork, but easy access to a spectacular beach . You will leave refreshed & trying to figure out how soon you can return ."

"We were there for a family event in Glastonbury for just a couple of days, and so we didn't go to the lake. However, the cottage was perfect for our needs -- quiet, allowed for contemplation, and privacy that we needed. We hope to perhaps and experience the beautiful lake."

"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...

"Enjoyed the uniqueness of the house and location. Note: House and grounds are very nice but not easy to get around if you are elderly and have problems walking.We were in our late sixties/early seventies, not easy getting up to second floor. Low ceilings and doors difficult for 6 ft people. We love the antiques, pantry and great supplies."

"We loved our stay. The house was clean and had everything we needed. It is located a few minutes from the sound. We wished we have driven there sometimes but the parking lot is only for residents with permits, so we walked. The property overlooks Goldsmith inlet. We saw a lot of wildlife including swans and a deer which walked right through the back yard. The owner left a bottle of wine which was very nice and allowed for early check in and late check out. We would love to come back."

"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 !"

"First and foremost the inlet is awesome for the family...we spent the week playing in the giant puddles ..it was the perfect intro to the ocean! At high tide we grilled and enjoyed the backyard! Super friendly neighborhood.. multiple public beaches in walking distance..house has everything you need and nothing you don't to enjoy a quick family get away!"

"The property was okay except washer & dryer were out of order and hot water wouldn't stay a steady temperature, also the toaster didn't work. But the major issue we had was with a schizophrenic man that lives next door who was intimidating us and was very angry, he even came right up in the front doorway when we were in the house. Talked to host about man having a key to the place and not feeling safe to spend a second night. Host knew all about man but would not refund our second night, so we...

"This is a very nice place to stay. Its location is a perfect walking distance to so many places. The owner is very helpful and kind."

"My friends and I had a great time staying at this adorable cottage! The beach is so close and the parking pass is a lifesaver! We also loved making a fire and relaxing in the backyard. There was plenty of room in the kitchen to cook while spending time together. Will definitely book again!"
