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!

Thank you for staying with us during the holiday. Apologies again for the fireplace. You will be happy to know that we had it serviced and it is ready for your next stay 😊
House was cute and would be great for the summer trip to the lake! It was exactly what we needed! I do wish the fireplace had worked but unfortunately, it never stayed lit for more than a few minutes before it cut off. Aside from that, we loved it!
The property was clean and comfortable. The neighbors were friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed the baby bunnies that hid in the ornamental grass and woods.
LOVE the style, quiet and clean. Very comfortable for a get away. Not right on the beach but not too far from it. Nice community. Very very cute cottage. We had a relaxing four day getaway.
Charming and comfortable property. Beautiful lake with choice of two excellent beaches. Hot water in unit was excellent. Very much enjoyed use of kayaks. Maybe needs a new grill, but there are decent restaurants nearby. I would recommend this property and wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.
House was very clean, well equipped and had everything we needed to enjoy a relaxing getaway as a family. We enjoyed the firepit, covered porch and lakeside fun.
Cottage was great - had all the amenities to make our stay enjoyable - screen porch was especially nice for coffee and breakfast - location was convenient for day trip to Newport - also enjoyed waterfalls in the area
This was our second stay at the cabin as a family of 5, and we loved it even more than our first visit! The yard and access to the lake and kayaks are huge highlights. The cabin is clean, well stocked, with comfortable sheets and beds. It was the perfect place for our fall get away!
The pictures are accurate to the location, everything was clean and stocked with necessities. We ran out of toilet paper on the last morning and couldn't figure out where more was but we were leaving so it wasn't much of an issue. We could not figure out how to work the heating but the Host was very helpful and communicative with about it. We didn't go to the lake so I don't have any reviews for that but you cannot see it from the property. Overall it was a good time and a nice space!
I am a resident of Hebron, so I am nearby if you need any assistance. I am a high school librarian, and I enjoy spending most of my summer out of doors at the lake. I grew up locally in East Hampton, but have had the opportunity to travel far and wide (4 continents and 27 countries). I lived in two other regions of the country. I attended school in Virginia and stayed in the Fredericksburg, VA area for 15 years, and I also spent three years in Minneapolis. I'm happy to call New England home right now.
Why they chose this property
I really enjoy lake living. I also enjoy a private, wooded lot. This house offered both of those things.
What makes this property unique
Dirt roads for walking and a beautiful lake for paddling. I hope you find this cottage as peaceful and inviting as I do.
