Lakeside Paradise

Excellent lakefront property, We were greeted with beautiful views of the lake as well as a bottle of wine, welcome card and a crackers and cheese plate. The kitchen has everything you could need and more. So many supplies, spices, etc. The beds were extremely comfortable and the hot tub was amazing. We stayed here for college visit to UConn, which was so close. We all had an excellent relaxing time and hope to retune again soon!!

Peaceful lakeside property

Had a wonderful long weekend with spouse and dog. You can just hang out in the privacy of the deck for hours and relax. Kitchen and grill are great for cooking, but if you prefer a few good restaurants about 2 miles away. Host couldnt have been nicer and prompt to respond when i needed help finding things. Thanks so much for the great stay.

Relaxing cabin with beautiful views

This cabin was one of the most relaxing places I have ever stayed. It had amazing views of Eagleville Lake where you could watch ducks, egrets, and swans every morning. It was such a comfortable play to stay for a week. The kitchen was very well stocked and spacious.The bed in the primary room was incredibly comfortable. Finally, the host was kind and responsive. We hope to stay at the cabin again in the future!

Above and beyond

Before I arrived I contacted Trisha to see if she could stage some flowers and champagne to surprise my fiance for our anniversary. Not only did she do that but she got her a balloon and a box of chocolate also. Trisha went above and beyond in my opinion. The place was better then what we expected. The hot tub was a perfect temperature and everything was all around awesome.

Peaceful Slice of Heaven

I cannot say enough about this beautiful house. Felt welcomed and at home from the moment I arrived. Trisha left a bottle of wine and a cheese plate to snack on when I arrived which I enjoyed while enjoying the beautiful water view. The bed was incredibly comfortable and I very much enjoyed the hot tub overlooking the water. My only complaint is my visit was too short!!! Will definitely be returning.
