Guest Reviews:

- "I greatly enjoyed my weekend getaway. Al was very professional and polite and even upgraded my room. It was very clean and I loved the aesthetic of the hotel. It felt like staying at a relatives house. It is located in nature and I experienced being within a few feet of deers on the property, which was a beautiful sight. I will definetly be back." - "I think this was an old lake resort. The exterior is in disrepair, the pool is out of commission, and the decore is dated to the point of quirky. But, the staff is friendly, the room was immaculate, and it has an overall charm that we thoroughly enjoyed. My only recommendation would be for more pillows... there aren't enough on the bed to prop yourself up to watch TV."

Guest Reviews:

- "The house was clean and well-appointed with plenty of items to use to enjoy the lake. We loved sitting by the fire pit and looking out over the lake and at the stars. Communication with the host was easy. We would stay there again when in the area!" - "My family stayed at the cottage in early November during family weekend at Wesleyan University. While the cottage was a half hour drive to Middletown, it was worth it to have a nice spot to land. Unfortunately we didn't have much time to enjoy the lake but it was too chilly for that anyway! I can see that the best time would be during the warmer months but it was still lovely and peaceful and the house was well-equipped. All the instructions were clear and helpful. There are houses right next door on both sides so not much privacy. Also, note, only one shower (a very nice one!) but if you have a larger group, make sure you factor that in."

The Highland House at Amston Lake
House
Hebron, Connecticut, USA

Welcome to our charming lake-house in the heart of Amston, CT! This cozy retreat is perfect for a peaceful getaway, with friends or family. The house offers a comfortable interior for essential living space, but the house also offers a beautiful screened in porch, which includes a sectional and porch swing where you can enjoy the atmosphere of the outdoors without the outdoor pests. The house also has a fantastic fire-pit, which can be used by guests. Firewood will also be available on premises. The house is very close to the lake and offers exclusive lake access with parking passes also included. Spend your days swimming, building sand castles, playing volleyball, or simply basking in the beauty of the lake. Whether you’re looking for adventure or relaxation, this hidden gem is the perfect retreat!

This house is one of the best I have to offer, as it's truly a relaxing getaway! One thing I did want to mention, is that unfortunately, many cell phone carriers offer a weak signal in this area if you're not connected to Wi-Fi. The house does have Wi-Fi, but you should expect your cell phone to have a weak signal outside of the houses Wi-Fi network. I actually feel it helps you truly unplug and spend time with friends and family, but I do like to mention as a caution.

Guest Reviews:

- "My husband and I stayed for a short trip at The Highland House. It was just as the pictures show- very clean, bright, and inviting upon entrance. The house was adorably decorated. The kitchen had all the small appliances you could need, and top notch major appliances. The back deck is so inviting with views of the tall trees- fall colors were beautiful! I spent a lot of time on the boho swing on the back deck. Loved it! The area was mostly quiet- with a little bit of typical neighborhood noise- dogs, lawn mowers, but that was OK bc it felt like you lived there. Lastly, David was great with communications- we texted back and forth a couple times and he always responded quickly. We loved every bit of this area and house- it was so relaxing! I wish we had stayed longer! The "

Guest Reviews:

- "There was no communication prior to the beginning of the reservation. I tried contacting the management team for check in info but received nothing until 15min after the beginning of our reservation. When we received the check in info it was wrong and the key was no longer where they said it would be. When we finally got into the property there was obviously no cleaning done to it. There were dirty dishes in the sink, the towels and sheets were in the hall, and the floors were sticky. When the cleaning crew finally showed up an hour later they took another hour to finish the work (which I don’t fault them for). The book with the check-in/out information was filled with false information and the phone call was not the owners. The pool outside was dirty, filled with sand, leaves, and a dead mouse. The house was overall disappointing. We paid way too much for a house that wasn’t well maintained and the management was very poor."

Go Jump in the Lake!
Cottage
Lebanon, Connecticut, USA

NEWLY RENOVATED FOR THE 2023 SEASON! Our lake house is situated on 1.5 acres just 250 steps to the Cove Road boat launch on beautiful Amston Lake. The lake is a pristine 188-acre retreat located in Lebanon and Hebron, CT. Swimming, kayaking, canoeing, paddle boarding, fishing, and sunbathing are all activities you can enjoy. There are no motor boats allowed, so you can enjoy all of those activities in a peaceful environment. Two beaches are located 1/2 or 1 mile away from the cottage with ample parking at both should you choose to drive.

The house is 850 square feet of pure cottage enjoyment. There are two bedrooms with a queen-sized bed in one on the first floor, and a full and twin in the other upstairs. A sixth person could sleep on the sofa. There is one bathroom with a shower and a washer and dryer. There is a full kitchen and a gas grill for cooking. There is one HD Smart television with wifi. Our cottage is a nice mix of high end and rustic finishes, and it is clean and comfortable. It's a cottage, and it feels like a cottage with a bit of style, especially when you are sitting on the porch swing, enjoying a cold beverage, and reflecting on the day. Or sitting around the fire pit with friends and family, while sharing stories and roasting marshmallows. It feels like you are in the middle of the woods. We have a canoe and two kayaks for you to use, a few beach chairs, and some lawn games. Lebanon is a beautiful, rural community with several operating farms. Amston Lake is on the edge of the Airline Trail where you can enjoy hiking and biking for miles. The Connecticut casinos are about 30 minutes away. Outlet shopping is located at Foxwoods Casino or in Clinton and Westbrook. The CT and RI shore are 40-60 minutes away. New York and Boston are about 90 minutes away. We are close to so much, and yet you will feel like you are far away from it all. We hope you enjoy your stay!

The stairs were too much for our old knees, but the downstairs bed/bedroom and living couch were very comfortable. Ammenties were great and host provided excellent instructions. Thank you!! "

- "We can't say much more than what a great place. Close to the lake and nicely located in a wooded area, but central to the many places we were here to visit. Our wish would have been to spend more time enjoying Peek-A-Boo View and the surrounding area, but other commitments kept us away for much of the stay. Stefan and Todd, the hosts were very accommodating. Thank you for a stress free experience. If we return to the area, we will definitely attempt to book this property again."

Guest Reviews:

- "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."

The view was beautiful and the house charming!" - "Beautiful home overlooking the lake. Very comfortable. Would definitely come again." - "We had a great time. Theres a great view of the lake and a short walk to the beach. There were AC's in the rooms which was important as it was pretty hot some days. The house was a bit bigger than I thought based on the pictures, which was a bonus. All in all, great spot to stay with a family and lots to do in the area like Gillette castle, dinosaur place, mystic aquarium, etc."

Guest Reviews:

- "Everyone in our group of 12 enjoyed their stay. The ages rnged fron 12 to 80. There was fishing from the dock and the provided canoe, kayak, and SUPs. The ducks and beaver swam by everyday. There was lots of swimming. A nightly fire in the big fire pit. A corn hole tournament of the lagrge green space in front of the house. Also room to set set up a badminton net. Only one hot night, otherwise it was open windows every day and night. The whole house fan really worked pulling in the cool air then pullingg it thru the house. A front screen door would have been nice. Dish washing would have been easier if the light over the sink had worked. A suggestion to the owner is to replace all the interior lights with LEDs. The kitchen was well equipped. Interesting to not there was a great microwave oven! However all the dinner and dessert plates were marked non-microwaveable. Either a knife sharpener or a few more "sharp" knives would have been welcome. Visited the Gillette Castle, needed a reservation so did not get inside. Also visited Mystic, if you go be sure to buy an ice cream at the Drawbridge Ice Cream Shop and say hi to Connor. We also made a trip to the beach! One final wish; it would have been nice if the owner provided a guest book to sign and a history of the house. It was pretty amazing."

- "The place was beautiful and everyone slept well. It was very clean and the yard and lake location were ideal. Thank you for a great stay!" - "This was a very easy process throughout! Thank you!" - "The house was as stated and we had everything we needed." - "This property and home exceeded my expecations by a million! The house was clean and every room was well stocked and decorated. There were plenty of towels, linens, soap in the showers, basics in the kitchen, and even fun games and sporting equipment available. The space was well-suited for a bigger group. The only possible inconvenience was the location as far as how far away it was from any stores and ubers. That being said, once we were there, it was nice to be near the lake and the neighborhood was great! The host also made sure we had all of the information we needed for check in and check out and responded very quickly. Overall, an amazing stay for a great price."

Guest Reviews:

- "I booked Lena's place for a mini college reunion, 8 friends who haven't seen each other in a while. What a good choice! We love to cook, so we made dinner at the house, happy that there were plenty of pots and pans, bowls, utensils, etc. We were hoping to eat outside on the patio but it was a little rainy so we ate inside. The kitchen/living room isn't huge, but there was definitely enough room for us all, plenty of seating, a big coffee table, and we used a few of the tv trays. I opted to sleep in the little sunroom, which has a wooden ceiling and is super cute. I was skeptical because I usually don't like sofa beds but these were actually quite comfortable. I especially appreciated the little white noise machine as I'm a light sleeper. There is a book in the house with information on nearby things to do, so the next day we all went hiking in a state forest right down the road. I went to school in CT but didn't really know much about this part of the state - there seems to be so much to do! It's a beautiful area and Lena has a beautiful home. Thanks!"

Beautiful Two Bedroom Home with Fireplace
House
Colchester, Connecticut, USA

Colonial style Two bedrooms home, 1.5 bathroom with multiple fireplaces, two-deck patio, outside bricks over/ fireplace with a spacious garden.

Description
History and exquisite gardens are the heart and beautiful expression of this celebrated Colonial. The owners of the property have spent many years completing a full restoration while maintaining much of the home’s historic integrity. To begin, the gardens that surround the property are enhanced and captured by mortared fieldstone walls, walkways, stairwells, and a large patio. Specimen plantings, select trees, and shrubs create a tapestry of color and are accented by vining trellises to enjoy through the season. A large outdoor fieldstone fireplace is set like a sculpture enhancing the pleasure of the outdoors and the experience of entertaining. A rich stone patio leads way to a walkout basement and multi-tiered deck at the rear of the property with entry to the home’s kitchen. The interior, which still secures many aspects of its original history, is enhanced by a modern Tuscan Style Kitchen with granite countertops and hand-crafted cabinetry fittingly connected to a first-floor laundry room and ½ bath. The home's 4 fireplaces add comfort to the living room, family room, open dining area, and walkout basement with a beehive oven. The second story, with access through two shaker-style stairwells, plays host to a master bedroom and bath with a Jacuzzi-style tub and mud shower textured by the creative use of artisan tiles. The second bedroom and master bath are adjacent to an enchanting sunroom with a modest cathedral ceiling that can be used as an office or additional guest space.

Every room is accessible to the guest except for the basement.

Guest Reviews:

A lot of thought has clearly been put into the house for renters. Nice touches like candles by the bathtub and fixings for smores made it extra welcoming.

Guest Reviews:

- "Highlights: My family of 5 had a great time visiting Amston Lake. We loved the nearby (5 min walk) sandy beach with 2 kayaks, life jackets and paddles provided for our use. Susan was quick to reply when we couldn't locate the paddles. The memory foam beds were comfortable, along with the light summer linens. To clarify the listing- the 2 downstairs rooms each have a queen bed, and updstairs has 2 twins. I understood there were inflatable beds for use, but we did not use. Having AC was a must and worked well for us, but units, particularly the main and upstairs, were quite noisy. Things that would have improved our stay: The photos make the cottage appear updated and well finished. In person this cottage felt more rustic due to things like sloping and soft in spots floors, doors that stuck, and lighting fixture issues in the kitchen. Overall, we'd recommend this place for the location, spaciousness, and lake access."

This property is right on the lake, unlike properties on other side of the lake which mostly have a road dividing you from the water. Southwestern exposure (all day sun). Panoramic view of clean freshwater lake. What makes this lake nicer than other Connecticut lakes: No outboard motors allowed!!! This fact keeps the lake clean and quiet/peaceful. Sandy bottom in front of house for 20+ feet. Wonderful spot on the lake. Starts shallow and gradually gets deeper. Great for children. Central air and heat newly installed, mattresses are new.

Guest Reviews:

- "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."

Guest Reviews:

- "Honestly not what I expected. Upon arrival yard was unmowed and garbage strewn on ground next to entryway of the loft. A Rooster is housed in the back yard and is very loud! When we first walked in we were not even sure we were in the correct place. Structurally the pictures are accurate however cosmetically the loft looked nothing like pictures. Furniture is old and ripped beds were not in the rooms as pictured, no wall mounted tvs, very uncomfortable wooden dining room chairs, litterally nothing looks like the advertising pics. The large bedroom was bee infested, a case so severe i had to call the host who did respond and had an exterminator come in about an hour and a half (in the meantime i got stung 3 times) exterminator closed off the main bedroom which is most of the sleeping space and informed us we could not use this room for 24hours. I called host and told him of exterminators instuctions not to use lg bedroom and all he said was Im sorry. We made the best of a bad situation and camped on livingroom floor. No offer of any type of compensation or refund from the host. As stated by one previous review I found on a different site there were clothing items in many drawers, food in the freezer and refigerator, the counters were sticky, there is no coffee maker , just a french press and no toaster. Our stay was ok but do not base your decision to stay here based on the few pictures available on this site."

Please feel free to pick whatever is in season from our organic garden. We regularly grow berries, lettuce, tomatoes, peas, potatoes and assorted herbs. You’ll have to wait until fall to collect eggs from our new flock of chickens, but the goats are always happy for a scratch and a treat. If you are bringing your children there are numerous playscapes they are welcome to explore.

Restaurants about 5-10 miles away. Looking to stay again maybe next year for our Anniversary or another special occasion. Am going to recommend to family that I know would love this spot."

This house in one of the best we have to offer, as it's truly a relaxing getaway! One thing I did want to mention, is that unfortunately, many cell phone carriers offer a weak signal in this area if you're not connected to the Wi-Fi. The house does have Wi-Fi, but you should expect your cell phone to have a weak signal outside of the houses Wi-Fi network. I actually feel it helps you truly unplug and spend time with friends and family, but I do like to mention.
