8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Aug 2025
Check-in was easy as the key was up under the mat. The Kitchen is fine as well.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jul 2025
Awesome stay at the cottage! We thoroughly enjoyed Lake Waramaug and everything it has to offer. The house was fantastic. We grew up in CT and this style of house is very nostalgic. The only thing I would say to others looking to stay here is that it is NOT friendly to those with any mobility problems. I’m not taking away from the property, just an objective comment. Definitely recommend!

House was very clean and cozy. Lake was a great adventure - a short walk away.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Apr 2018
Lovely view, very clean and filled with antique metal items we couldn't identify. It was kind of fun trying to guess what use these items would have had in the past. There were 4 of us and I would not want another person there, as the cottage is small.
We were disappointed to find no wood to burn in the fire pit outside, nor the fireplace in the cottage. There also was no soap in either shower so we had to use the liquid hand soap. There was no dishwashing powder, so we couldn't run the dishwasher when we departed.
We were enjoying the lovely second floor dormer type attic with comfy furniture in the evening. It's a warm , clean space that's perfect for gathering and chatting. As we were talking and laughing we began to hear scratching and squeaking noises from the attic or walls. They continued, so we moved back downstairs to the main room. That's when we saw the plug in sonar to keep away rodents, plugged in the wall! There also was a rat trap outside.
Though we had fun and enjoyed our stay, the essentials missing and the presence of rodents negatively impacted our weekend.
