PERFECT COTTAGE, PERFECT WEEKEND

I have stayed in many rentals over the years and we have always had nice experiences however, our experience with the cottage in Coventry was off the charts...EXCELLENT. We were in town for UConn's Parents Weekend and opted for a rental this time vs a hotel. So happy we did! The cottage was EXCEPTIONALLY clean, warm, so cozy with wonderful little touches everywhere. As someone who likes to entertain and host guests, I notice and appreciate ALL the little details- and there were many( and all very special). We originally had concerns over only one bathroom (with 5 of us staying), but it was a non issue. The bedrooms were a good size, Comfortable beds/bedding, plenty of towels, and conveniences like toiletries, coffee pods and a fully stocked kitchen if you choose to cook in (we did 2 nights). We loved the porch overlooking the beautiful lake, took advantage of the kayaks and bird watching ;) Only 10 minutes to campus and my kids (18, 20 and 21 years old) loved the experiences as much as we did! The owner Susan was LOVELY and was so kind with excellent response time. We so enjoyed talking with her and hearing the history of the cottage. And even though she is on property she was wonderful with giving us our space and privacy however, we are a chatty family and LOVED our conversations with her!) I would rent here again in a HEARTBEAT. You can just feel the positivity on this property, its a special place for sure.

Beautiful Cottage on the Lake

Our family had a great stay! The view of the water cant be beat. The cottage had plenty of room for the four of us to stay comfortably. The cottage was in perfect condition and came with everything we needed. I would highly recommend and we look forward to staying again!

Paradise

From the moment you park your car you won’t be disappointed! Charming, beautifully appointed no detail left undone. And the view, absolutely stunning. The front porch perfect place for breakfast as the sun comes up. Fishing, boating perfect size lake. Quiet and peaceful serenity at is best. Susan is wonderful as a host/owner. So thoughtful baked us banana bread, homemade jam and a bottle of wine awaited us. We will be back
