About this property

Enjoy a stay at our cozy, 2 bedroom cottage on West Hill Lake in New Hartford. Situated on the south shore, the view from the main level is magnificent. Spend a lazy afternoon in the shade of the upper deck, or make your way to the waterfront for some sun and a swim in one of Connecticuts most pristine lakes. West Hill is considered a trophy trout pond so if you are an angler you'll want to bring your gear. There is a canoe provided in case you want to venture out for a ride. Amenities include a gas grill, outdoor hot shower, smart TV with cable, and WIFI.
We are short drive to local golf courses, fishing on the Farmington river, hiking at local and state parks, restaurants, breweries, wineries, shopping and retail. There is also a local park within walking distance with basketball courts, walking trails and athletic fields.
We currently provide one private, outdoor hot shower, just outside the entrance.

Cabin getaway

The cabin was just what we needed to escape the hustle and bustle of work!! Just the right size to sit and relax by the water and enjoy an early morning or late evening canoe ride while the Eagle flew above us. Perfect spot for day hikes or day drinking at the wineries. Then enjoy a bonfire with a glass of wine and talk about all you did and what you want to do the next day!! Definitely recommend and will be back

Trip Down Memory Lane

I took my parents to the cottage as a 60th anniversary present. They met on the lake 65 years ago. We had a wonderful time time reminiscing about time spent on the lake. Eric was easy to reach and getting into the cottage was simple. Everything was clean and neat, and the kitchen was well stocked with pans, dishes, and other basic supplies. There were outdoor amenities, such as a fire pit and a canoe we did not get to use due to the weather. Would love to come back here again sometime.

Fantastic

It’s a small and comfortable cottage on one of the nicest lakes in the state. If that’s what you’re after, don’t hesitate. The host are great. We’ll definitely go back.

home away from home

We needed a few days away from every day stress. We know the area well and stay up there often. It was a well needed break.

Great waterfront location!

Cute vintage cottage right on the water with great views from the house/deck and fantastic large dock for hanging out and longer dock off to the side- perfect for looking for sunfish. There is a small ladder down to a sandy area (shallow where you get in- maybe 1.5 ft deep) in the water that was great fun for our young kids- they were exploring and splashing around all over! Easy entry if you want to go for a real swim too. The lake is crystal clear and clean. House itself is comfortable and the outdoor shower is actually a really cool feature.
