Lake Getaway at Coventry Lake! close to Uconn

About this space
Enjoy a cup of coffee on the front porch or walk down to the private beach and view the sunrise and sunset from the dock. The public boat launch is close for those who enjoy water sports on the lake. In the evening relax by the fire on the back patio while grilling on the weber grill ! This cottage is a true getaway that's an easy stroll to the lake, a short drive to UCONN, and close to outdoor activities like hiking and biking.The Coventry farmers market is less than 2 miles away and downtown Storrs/UCONN is less than a 10 minute drive.
The space
The cottage has been completely renovated and is cute as a button. It is fully stocked with two queen beds, a chefs kitchen, fine bedding and bath towels. It is a very short walk to the private beach to launch your kayaks and paddleboards and a short drive to the boat launch where you can launch your boat or jet skis. There is a private driveway with plenty of space to park your cars and a 20 amp outdoor outlet to charge your EV if needed.
Guest access
Access to the living room, laundry, kitchen, front porch, bathroom, back patio with firepit, and paddleboard for the lake.
Other things to note
This is a great getaway for a family, a girls getaway, anyone looking for a respite, or a quick stop on the way north or south of connecticiut. Longer stays are encouraged. This would also be perfect for someone working from home who wants to spend the summer by the lake!
The Lake is a natural water resource and may be subject as any body of water to algae during extreme summer heat. Intermittent closures of the lake may occur. Owner is not responsible for state/town water closures.

Perfect Little Getaway
Four friends from College gathering for a special event. This cottage was absolutely lovely. While it's a small space, the owner redesigned it with a layout that uses every inch of space and feels so cozy and spacious. The kitchen is to die for, the beds are super comfy, the decor is so cozy and inviting. Loved the inside fireplace and outside fire pit. Perfect areas for chatting. The bathroom is spacious for such a tiny house. All updated appliances and amenities. Every dish, appliance, forgotten item has been thought of and is there. You can tell the owner has put a lot of thought into every detail. If we ever have another need to stay up near UCONN, we will absolutely be back. Perfect place to rent to see a game or visit a student. Just can't say enough positive about this rental.

One of the best!
Traveled all over the country stayed in countless properties coast to coast and this is a real find. Well appointed and clean with modern gourmet kitchen. Fully stocked for arrival, quiet neighborhood and the fireplace was appreciated by two florida natives visiting during the holidays. Wish it was warmer to enjoy outdoor area. Would definately stay again.
