- "We stumbled upon this rental while frantically searching for a place to stay after a property reservation we had made month's ago fell apart at the last minute. The owners went out of their way to get the property ready so we could check in early as there were five of us with 2 pets holed up in a hotel room. This home was perfect. There was room for us all and the open floor plan on the first floor afforded plenty of family together time. We spent a lot of time sitting on the back deck just soaking in the peace and quiet-just what you need on vacation. We were entertained by the hummingbirds that flitted among the many honeysuckle plants bordering the property. We enjoyed cooking on the grill (charcoal provided) The owners thought of everything-right down to a gate to keep doggo on the deck with us and a tie out to let her out in the yard without worry-that she'd get lost chasing the bunnies that loved to dart in and out of the tree line. The private beach was a short walk through the neighbors yard and offered a sandy shore. The state park property is very close by where the dogs can swim or you can put a boat in for some fishing. All in all we had a relaxing comfortable stay and would definitely come back."

- "We rented this property for a family vacation. My husband and I live nearby and my daughter and family were driving 12 hours to stay at the lake. We had a wonderful time. The location is spectacular. Lake Heyward is a hidden gem. They only allow electric boats, so any traffic is minimal. The water is clean and clear, and the scenery is beautiful. The house is well appointed and had everything we needed for a great lake vacation. It is very close to grocery shopping and restaurants, and near hiking, farms and other cool things. David was a wonderful host. He was warm, quick to answer questions (saved the day when my daughter's 7 year old locked them out) and easy to connect with. Wonderful visit. I am hoping this becomes a summer tradition."

Summary:
Welcome to Casa Verde 2 — a peaceful, well-appointed retreat in Montville that’s perfect for families or friends looking to relax, recharge, and explore the Connecticut coast. With 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, central A/C, and lake access just a short stroll away, this home makes it easy to slow down and enjoy your time together. Kayaks and life vests are included, and you're only 25–30 minutes from some of the region’s most scenic public beaches in Niantic, Waterford, and Old Lyme.

The Space:
Casa Verde 2 offers the perfect blend of open gathering areas and quiet personal space across three levels.

Guests enter on the ground floor, where you’ll find a private queen bedroom, a full bathroom, the laundry room, and direct access to the garage. This level is ideal for grandparents, teens, or anyone who enjoys a bit of space to themselves. A washer and dryer are available here for your use, along with basic laundry supplies.

Head up one flight of stairs to the main level, where the home opens up to a spacious, well-stocked kitchen and dining area — perfect for family meals or morning coffee. This level also includes two comfortable bedrooms — one with a queen bed, the other with two twins — all made up with fresh linens for your stay. A full bathroom is also located on this level and comes stocked with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and essential paper products. Step outside from here to a private deck with seating and access to a gas grill — great for evening dinners or late-summer lounging.

The top level features a bright and airy living room filled with natural light and plenty of comfortable seating. The primary suite is also on this floor and includes a king bed, en-suite bath, and a private balcony just right for two — great for morning coffee or a quiet nightcap.

You’ll also find central air throughout the home, along with extra touches that reflect the care we put into preparing for your stay — from the made-up beds to the stocked essentials that help you settle in and feel at home.

Guest Access:
You’ll have the entire home to yourself, including the deck, patio, garage, laundry area, and a short walking path to Oxoboxo Lake. We’ve provided kayaks and life vests so you can get right out on the water and start exploring.

The Neighborhood:
Casa Verde 2 is tucked into a quiet, lakeside neighborhood that feels like a true escape. Yet, you’re still just minutes from shopping, dining, and shoreline attractions. If you’re up for a beach day, Niantic’s Hole-in-the-Wall Beach and Waterford Beach Park are both around 25 minutes away, while Sound View Beach in Old Lyme is about 30 minutes. You’ll also find great seafood, charming boardwalks, local parks, and plenty to explore nearby.

Getting Around:
A car is recommended to make the most of the area. You’re just a few minutes from I-395, offering easy access to Mystic, Mohegan Sun, Foxwoods, and other southeastern CT highlights.

Carved out of the woods on Gardner Lake in 1917, Camp Wakenah was both a day and overnight camp for the Boy Scouts. In 2002, Donna and Stanley Adelstein purchased the property to create a year round vacation estate for themselves and their children. After converting the property and enjoying it together for over a decade, it was sold in January 2018. It is now both a private home and available for rental, events, and weddings. The 32 acre property has a magnificent location on Gardner Lake and now has two family cottages, or cabins, with 2 and 3 bedrooms respectively and the main house with a first floor guest suite with 3 bedrooms. Aside from the magnificent gardens, waterfalls, Koi ponds, and waterfront there is an indoor pool with hot tub, steam spa, and sauna. Throughout the property you will experience the heritage from which it was born and the care that helped it become what it is today. Enjoy the many sites in Southeastern CT or stay on the estate and walk, or bike, around the 32 acres of woods and trails available. It is your choice when you stay in the 2 bedroom cabin.
