8 / 10Excellent·Aug 2025
Check-in was easy as the key was up under the mat. The Kitchen is fine as well.
10 / 10Outstanding·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.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2024
We were in need of a nice, relaxing vacation and that’s exactly what we got. There were four of us (me, my husband, my 16-year-old, and my 11-year-old) and we each had our own space. We loved going down to the dock, and there is also a town beach just down the road. The home is filled with fun antiques and reminds you of a clean, well-kept, and charming grandmother’s house. We wanted a low-key vacation, and so we enjoyed short jaunts (less than 15 mins away) to Kent to enjoy its downtown and waterfall and bookstore and to Washington Depot (the inspiration for Gilmore Girls, which also had its own lovely bookstore). Overall, we highly recommend this home to other families needing quiet and downtime.
