This place was clean and everything you expected. True to description. Host where attentive. We didn’t spend too much time at the house because we stayed the area for a week of training but it worked out perfectly. Close to Waterbury where we needed to travel everyday.
The place was beautiful. Beyond my expectations. Perfect for a birthday get away. I suggest to take better pictures for it does not capture how nice it truly is. That’s my only feedback. Thankyou’
Beautiful house in a quiet location. The owners were extremely prompt with all communication. Everything was exactly as described, they even had printouts around the house on how to operate different things. We would definitely stay there again!
This property was a hidden gem! While it wasn’t directly on the lake, the views from the master bedroom were beautiful. The neighborhood was nice and even had a little park just up the street that our daughter enjoyed. The house was exactly as described. Spotless, fully stocked with everything you needed and then some.Yoka and Val were wonderful hosts. We had great communication throughout our stay. We had such a lovely time that we decided to extend our stay! We highly recommend this lake house and can’t wait to come back again. Thank you for the accommodations, flexibility and most of all your kindness. It was a great trip with lots of memories made.
We had a great experience here. We loved sitting by the fire, soaking in the hot tub and playing pool and other games provided. The house was very nice and comfortable. Thank you.
Comfortable, clean, and great hosts. Kitchen could use a few mixing bowls baking and sheet pans, otherwise everything was wonderful.

Thank you so much for your kind words and for being such thoughtful guests! We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay and truly appreciate your helpful suggestions—we’ll be adding mixing bowls and baking sheets to the kitchen soon. Thanks again for taking such great care of our home, and we’d love to host you again anytime!
Really cute house and well kept, clean.We had a great time and the host was responsive throughout our stay. The only thing to note, is that we kinda thought that the house was right on the lake. It's not. It's across the street from the lake and access is only available 1-2 min walk down the road through a neighborhood lake access. You don't really have lake views except through the window of the house.
Fast communication, a lovely and very comfortable place to stay. Loved the hot tub and the lake views.

We truly enjoy creating unforgettable stays for our guests—providing a cozy, welcoming home where you can relax, recharge, and make lasting memories. From the beautiful lake views to the thoughtful touches throughout the space, it’s important to us that your time here feels just as peaceful and enjoyable as the getaways we personally love.

Why they chose this property
We chose this area because it’s the perfect balance of peaceful and adventurous. The moment we saw the stunning lake views from the house, we knew it was something special. The neighborhood is quiet and relaxing, with a private lake just steps away, yet it’s close to so many outdoor activities, restaurants, and local attractions. Whether you’re into hiking, skiing, or simply unwinding by the water, this area has it all—and we knew it would be the perfect spot to share with others looking for a true escape.
What makes this property unique
Our home offers a cozy, thoughtfully designed space with breathtaking views of Fall Mountain Lake. From the warm and inviting interior to the spacious deck overlooking the water, it’s made for guests to truly slow down and enjoy their time together. What sets us apart is how the house combines comfort and style with endless opportunities for fun—whether it’s game nights in the game room, coffee with a lake sunrise, or a peaceful evening by the fireplace. It’s an all-season retreat that feels like a home away from home.
