The Bungalow at Eagleville Lake
Under 3 miles to UCONN!
UCONN parents take note; only 2.8 miles to the campus!
Spend some time at the newly renovated Bungalow, offering 2 queen bedrooms and a queen sleeper sofa, state of the art kitchen and large open living area overlooking the lake. The Bungalow has a chef's dream of a kitchen, with it's soapstone countertop, generous spice selection, coffee bar, small appliance cabinet and griddle/gas range.
The large open space lends itself to enjoying friends and family, all overlooking the tranquil lake. Enjoy a drink on the deck, go for a hike/walk, or have a wonderful day of kayaking and/or paddleboarding. We offer two tandem kayaks, two single kayaks, and a tandem stand or sit paddleboard for your enjoyment. You can paddle for miles in the lake or up the Willimantic River. Keep an eye out for turtles! Bring a fishing pole and bait and reel in a large or small mouthed bass! (Fishing license required )
If fishing and kayaking are not your thing, we have tons of outdoor games. Cornhole, horseshoes, badminton, and volleyball, just to name a few! In addition, there are miles of walking trails starting right down the road.
Coventry is known for its antique shops and restaurants. Once you've shopped 'til you've dropped, head back to The Bungalow to enjoy the firepit. Share a few stories and a few drinks. Once you are ready for bed, you will be sleeping on hotel quality beds and linens.
We strive hard to give you a 10-star experience!

Most adorable VRBO! Walked in and immediately felt at home. All the quirky and whimsical touches were so fun. Everything was so thoughtfully prepared for our visit, we loved our stay!

Thank you so much, Shannon. I love it when a guest makes mention of my little quiet treasures. I don't think everyone spots them, well not all of them anyway, so I'm thinking I should make up a list so the guests can look for them if they'd like. I hope you come back sometime to see what's been added.
Lisa was amazing and made the process easy. The property has all the amenities you need with 2 bedrooms and a fold out sofabed.We enjoyed the kayaking especially since the lake is so swallow. It was easy getting into and out at the landing next door. Highly recommend and we will be back!

Thank you Jimmy. I'm so happy you had a nice time! I hope to be able to host you again!
This is the second time we have stayed at The Bungalow. We absolutely love it here. It's a perfect launch pad for plans with extended family in the area. The home is so comfortable, spotlessly clean, well-designed, and with many thoughtful touches. The host is very welcoming and responsive with any questions that come up. We hope to stay again!

Thank you so much Lorette! It was pleasure hosting you. I hope I have the opportunity to do it again!
Our stay at the Bungalow was amazing! Definitely wish we would have stumbled across this beautiful place last year while we were here visiting our son at UConn. Definitely roomy enough for the four of us to cozy in and visit on the rainy days. Definitely the cleanest place we have stayed at in all our travels to CT. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Thank you Teri! I'm so happy you enjoyed your stay. My housekeeper does an amazing job. She receives excellent reviews every time. The Bungalow is prepared for my guests the way I would want a vacation rental to be, beautiful location, plenty of outdoor games and activities, and super clean and organized. Keep us in mind if you head back up this way!
What a lovely stay we had. Lisa is a fabulous host who we were lucky enough to meet. She was so accommodating and went out of her way to help us and make things as easy as possible. The accomodation is lovely, exactly as pictured. It is the most catered for accomodation we have ever stayed in and had everything you could think of and more! The kids were thrilled with the smores and selection of hot chocolates. The fire pit is lovely and we enjoyed the selection of games in the games shed. We couldn't have asked for any more. Thank you Lisa!

Thank you Amirah! I'm so sorry that you were not able to stay the full weekend. I hope your niece is feeling better. I would love the chance to host you again. Maybe in the summer when it's warmer and you can use the kayaks and all the outdoor games.
First, my Host Lisa was amazing to work with. She responded quickly to all of my questions and that was much appreciated!The cottage was adorable, immaculate and decorated with simple, tasteful, lake themed furniture and decor. The linens and towels were high quality. The beds were very comfortable. In fact, everything was high quality.The cookware, dishware, bakeware, glassware, barware, silverware, cutlery, and kitchen appliances included provided us with absolutely everything we needed and beyond! Everything was organized, labeled and there were items one would not expect to find in other rentals likeinsulated cups, sippie cups and dishware for children. This is a very family friendly spot. There were frozen ice packs, ice bucket and ice pops in the freezer.There were lake views from most windows. There was direct lake access for the kayaks to launch from.It was very peaceful with sounds of birds, ducks and squirrels hunting for acorns.There were tons of yard games for infants through adult ages.The fire pit was very close to the lake so you could enjoy the lakeview while enjoying the fire. The wood for the fire was on site and included in the price!I will be repeat booking this cottage for years to come. Im so happy I found this gem!
Very beautiful place. Lovely to catch up with friends.
