About this cottage rental
Charming open floor plan lakeside cottage in Griswold, CT. Our rustic home has modern stylish touches and is directly on the lake. We have a dock for swimming, 2 kayaks for boating, and we have an elevated screened in porch for you to enjoy the waterfront views. Take in the sunset at dinner time or while using the outdoor firepit. There is a king sized loft bedroom upstairs and a second queen sized bedroom downstairs. There is one fully updated bathroom.
The house is direct waterfront on Ashland Lake, a ponded section of the Pachaug River in Griswold, CT. You can fish, swim, kayak, canoe, and more right off the grassy backyard of our cottage home. Use our kayaks or bring your own if you prefer - you can boat right from our personal dock in the backyard.

8 / 10Excellent·Oct 2025
The house had a beautiful view and the screen porch was very nice for both us and the dogs to walk in and out of! We would have liked a little more seating but overall it was a great place!
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2025
We had a wonderful stay. Very peaceful, quiet, beautiful views. We also really enjoyed Hopeville Pond State Park which was only a 5 min drive.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2025
I had a very restful stay here, enjoyed the calming view of the lake and watching the sunset from the porch. I heard at least one frog calling at night, and enjoyed the birdsong. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen was stocked with plenty of dishes, pots and pans. I didn't use the upstairs level, but it was a great set up with bunk beds on one side and also a bed on the opposite side.
6 / 10Average·Jul 2025
Less than it was hyped to be! The reviews that gave it eight 8 1/2 nine points out of 10 clearly fraudulent. MANY Statments100% untrue like "lots of comfortable seating". there was not one comfortable seat inteh whole palce except a plastic Adirondac chair on the proch. the couch was terrible. the only other inside seating were dining high bar stool type chairs not comfortable for many seniors. to be fair there is a clear attempt to hag stylish clean place but it is not quite there. yet. BBQ utelsils were excellent but the bbq itself is charcoal was a very rusty grate and no charcoal, fluid or lighter. the upstairs is quite nice as it the bathroom. the downstairs bedroom is OK. Screen porch with tears letting in bugs. pots and pans are terrible. i got poison ivy while I was there it's right in front of the parking mixed in with the viy hedge. the first three stape from the driveway has not hand rail and a retaining board that is easy to trip on for us in our 70's. the rest of the stairs are well lit.. Great shower. AC works well butmust leave on while away if a hot day. the area is great with lots to see and do. go to the red 36 restaurant really great seafood and view from the deck. the lake is not swampy. the cove you are on has some lily pads but the water is clean. and clear for 6 feet. No boats seen on the lake the dock is too small for a boat and you cannot get out of the lake to the river.
