Perfect Little Getaway
Four friends from College gathering for a special event. This cottage was absolutely lovely. While it's a small space, the owner redesigned it with a layout that uses every inch of space and feels so cozy and spacious. The kitchen is to die for, the beds are super comfy, the decor is so cozy and inviting. Loved the inside fireplace and outside fire pit. Perfect areas for chatting. The bathroom is spacious for such a tiny house. All updated appliances and amenities. Every dish, appliance, forgotten item has been thought of and is there. You can tell the owner has put a lot of thought into every detail. If we ever have another need to stay up near UCONN, we will absolutely be back. Perfect place to rent to see a game or visit a student. Just can't say enough positive about this rental.

The house was immaculate and the location was really close to the lake. The house had everything you could want and the host was amazingly responsive. We would absolutely recommend this house and will probably stay during our next trip to CT.

One of the best!
Traveled all over the country stayed in countless properties coast to coast and this is a real find. Well appointed and clean with modern gourmet kitchen. Fully stocked for arrival, quiet neighborhood and the fireplace was appreciated by two florida natives visiting during the holidays. Wish it was warmer to enjoy outdoor area. Would definately stay again.
