Beautiful retreat in a lake community to the enjoy the summer season.

Stunning 4 bedroom, 2-bathroom home in the Wildwood section of Tolland which is in the foothills of the Berkshires. Light-filled rooms boast hardwood floors, pine walls, an abundance of windows, and skylights. A large screened front porch is a great place to sit out to enjoy the quietness of the woods. Being in Wildwood it offers hiking, boating, fishing, pickleball, tennis courts, and swimming. We have 2 kayaks, and one paddle board to enjoy during your visit. Take advantage of getting away from home to recharge in the wilderness.

Do you enjoy hiking? Wildwood is the backyard of Granville State Forest.

Perfect Home for a Family
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cat's house. It had great space, lots of books and some toys to keep our kids busy and was very comfortable. Would love to try it during the summer some time. We highly recommend staying here for any family with kids.

Relaxing Family Vacation
Roomy, clean and comfortable home in a Lake Community. We wanted a family vacation where we could enjoy time together while keeping the kids off tech devices. Kayak and a paddle board was provided from the host. The kids enjoyed fishing, boating and swimming on the lake which was in walking distance from the home. Home was well supplied with items to assist with dinner prep, towels and games. Plenty of hiking trail in the Community and neighboring towns. We would happily stay here again.

Another beautiful stay
This is our third time staying at this property and has been just as amazing as the past two times! Our family consists of my parents, my wife and I, and our three kids. This spot is excellent for larger groups, as we were able to easily divide up the rooms! A few special shout outs: •Cat is amazing with communication. She generally gets back to us sooner than we send the message! •There are so many toys that our kids can play with in the house--never a requirement, but always appreciated! •I've always been a huge fan of the juke box. Very sad that the bottom row of numbers wasn't working, but we used it every morning while making breakfast! Strongly recommend!

Tranquil Getaway
The house is located on a gravel road in a private lake community. It is in a beautiful tree canopy with space between you and neighbors. It was a peaceful and chill stay which is exactly what we were looking for. The kitchen is very well stocked for cooking with a large table for dining that fits 8 easily. Bathrooms were very clean. The big lake was picturesque with kayaks stored right at the dock. Very convenient! The listing was very true to reality with excellent communication from the owner. One thing to note. There is only a dryer in the house. Washing must be done in a laundry facility that is shared in the community. It was a great opportunity to teach our teenagers how to use a laundromat when they hopefully move out in a few years, fingers crossed!

Stay at Cat's home in Tolland
What a great home! The home was beautiful, clean and stocked with everything you would need, and many things that you wouldn't really think of like games, books, kitchen staple items. Our party was 9 adults allin town to attend a wedding in a nearby town. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit!

Family Weekend
We loved the home. The little balcony overlooking the dining area fascinated the twin nearly three year olds, Their room had many books and toys for all age children. The kitchen had all the utensils we needed to bake lasagna. We liked the secluded feeling the wooded lot offered . We were unable to turn on the light and fan in the dining area … couldn’t see instructions in the notebook for the fan or light. If the weather had been better we would have loved playing games on the large porch. The wood stove was very appreciated. On Friday when we arrived the first thing we did was start a fire! Thank you for the pleasant comfortable accommodations. We all agree 5 stars!

Family get together
The dining area and living room were actually larger than I’d anticipated from the photos. There were lots of children’s books there, for our grandchildren to read. The kids could watch a movie in the evening on one of the streaming channels. The screened porch was great, too. It worked out ok for all 10 of us.

Great home for a family week!
We loved that we could walk 1/2 a block to a lake or drive 5 minutes to a bigger lake where the kayaks were stored. Both lakes have a dock we swam to and sandy beaches for making castles. The house itself had a large screened porch where we ate our meals b/c we were doing a 1000 piece puzzle on the big dining room table. The large den was air conditioned for the muggy nights. The house has everything known to man for the beach and more than I have at home for the kitchen. The only warning: bring food to start. The nearest grocery store is 30 minutes away. And the owner, Cat, is incredibly nice!

Beautiful Location, Excellent Communication
Our hostess Cat answered all of our questions quickly and cheerfully. Most notably she answered us at 6:30 on a Sunday morning when we ran into an issue. The cabin fit our group of eight very well. We walked to the pond at the end of the lane and enjoyed a peaceful hour of reading The beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed for our stay.

An excellent repeat stay!
We had an excellent Christmas here- for the second year in a row! Cat is always very responsive and helpful. The house is very spacious, clean and perfect for our family of five. The wood stove makes it extra cozy. The kids enjoyed sledding and making snowmen this year :). I would recommend the house to anyone and hope that we can stay again in the future!

Great Stay!
Our three generation family had an amazing time at this comfortable home in Wildwoods in Tolland. Not only did the house more than meet our needs, but the surroundings were beautiful! We were able to paddle, kayak, swim and hike all within minutes of our door. We had one small problem and the hostess was quickly and efficiently responsive. We would recommend this home to any, and may well be back ourselves.
