This place is straight out of a postcard! An idyllic place to unplug and unwind for a couple days. The town is delightfully quaint and is like the small towns you thought only existed on TV. You feel isolated from the hustle and bustle of the world, yet if you drive a few minutes in the opposite direction you find modern restaurants and shopping centers. The location is perfect for a short drive to tour Mystic, CT or Westerly, RI, both of which we really enjoyed. Here’s a tip: set your GPS to avoid toll roads and freeways wherever you go, and you will not be disappointed. Some of the most scenic routes I have ever seen!
The cottage itself met all of our expectations. The bottom (basement) floor has 3 twin beds and 1 double. There’s a door that leads right out to the lake and the kayak, rowboat, and canoe that you have access to, as well as life vests. The washer and dryer is also located here and was super convenient because my kids managed to get quite dirty playing outside by the lake.
The main floor has a nice sized living room, kitchen, and dining table. The master bedroom with a King sized bed is here as well as the only bathroom. The deck/balcony outside of the living room was probably my favorite part of the stay. It looks right out onto the lake and the colors of the changing leaves reflecting off of the water was gorgeous and I took a million amazing pictures.
Overall, I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone. The price may seem a little steep, but it is completely worth it for the views alone. Don’t hesitate to stay here!
