Wonderful stay at the lake!!
We had a fantastic time over a long weekend at Trisha’s place on the lake. The house had everything we needed, and the location right on the lake was perfect for views and for kayaking and paddle boarding. Trisha is a great host with lots of communication and little touches in the house that make you feel welcome and at home. If we ever come to the area in the future, we will definitely stay here again.

Lakeside Paradise
Excellent lakefront property, We were greeted with beautiful views of the lake as well as a bottle of wine, welcome card and a crackers and cheese plate. The kitchen has everything you could need and more. So many supplies, spices, etc. The beds were extremely comfortable and the hot tub was amazing. We stayed here for college visit to UConn, which was so close. We all had an excellent relaxing time and hope to retune again soon!!

Peaceful lakeside property
Had a wonderful long weekend with spouse and dog. You can just hang out in the privacy of the deck for hours and relax. Kitchen and grill are great for cooking, but if you prefer a few good restaurants about 2 miles away. Host couldnt have been nicer and prompt to respond when i needed help finding things. Thanks so much for the great stay.

Relaxing cabin with beautiful views
This cabin was one of the most relaxing places I have ever stayed. It had amazing views of Eagleville Lake where you could watch ducks, egrets, and swans every morning. It was such a comfortable play to stay for a week. The kitchen was very well stocked and spacious.The bed in the primary room was incredibly comfortable. Finally, the host was kind and responsive. We hope to stay at the cabin again in the future!

Peaceful Slice of Heaven
I cannot say enough about this beautiful house. Felt welcomed and at home from the moment I arrived. Trisha left a bottle of wine and a cheese plate to snack on when I arrived which I enjoyed while enjoying the beautiful water view. The bed was incredibly comfortable and I very much enjoyed the hot tub overlooking the water. My only complaint is my visit was too short!!! Will definitely be returning.

Beautiful location
Negatives: 1. Our stay didn’t start out on the perfect foot - it was musty on arrival (fine after airing out). Then Trisha called a few hours after check-in that repairmen would be coming to fix the hot tub. The heating component worked, but not the jets. The hot tub was one of the key reasons we chose this location, as was solitude - so having two men and then the host show up and run around the place was not ideal. The repairmen didn’t fix the jets and broke the heater. Trisha was extremely apologetic and kind and provided a partial refund. 2. No blinds or curtains, and a LOT of windows 3. Third bed is in a room without a door at all. To be fair, listing doesn’t list this as a bedroom, but I assumed it was an office with a door - it’s right off the front door and you can see out one of the front/side windows from the bed. Positives: 1. The house is very well-appointed. 2. All 3 beds were very comfortable. 3. The bathrooms were nice and clean. 4. The seating - a loveseat and a chair - were comfortable. 5. The kitchen had SO much stuff to use (oils, spices, pots, pans, etc) 6. Really nice wood-burning stove, gas grill, and fire pit 7. The location of the house is really the biggest seller. The pond/lake is beautiful, and both the yard, the deck, and all the windows in the house allow you to see it a lot. There was a 2-person kayak and a SUP board, which were a really fun bonus. It’s just a very, very beautiful and special property.

Adorable getaway cottage!
The cottage was adorable, right on a beautiful lake with walking trails nearby. It was perfect for a quick getaway from the city and we especially enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit right on the lake shore.
