> Kitchen with stove, fridge, and sink and all dishware, cups, silverware, etc provided

Lakeside Cabin
A perfect compromise for a family where a tent may be a little too rough. All you could ask from the great outdoors. My daughter loved the camping beds, caught a fish off the dock. Was great to bring the dog along. Kayaks were great. Perfect location!

Inaccurate listing, you don’t get what you pay for.
Overall, this is a cute cabin in a picturesque part of Connecticut, but from what I have seen traveling through Connecticut it’s all picturesque. Nothing spectacular here The biggest issue that I had was the property description listed a twin futon, which there definitely was not. I had to put two armchairs together in the family room to make a makeshift bed. There are also no extra linens or pillows either, so make sure you come prepared with those as well. Luckily, we were traveling across the country, so I had a sleeping bag and pillow of my own. I let my son sleep in the bedroom, and he said that the bed was comfortable, but the blanket underneath the comforter was covered in what we assumed was dog hair. So overall our sleeping experience was very poor. The house itself was clean, but there are bugs everywhere, which is somewhat expected being next to a lake. Beware of opening the door at night, We came home after dark one evening and had a swarm of bugs follow us in. I spent an hour just vacuuming them off of the door. The bathroom does have some issues as well. There is a strong odor of sewage especially by the sink, and I did notice that it became stronger after a shower. Always spiders in the bathroom as well. The cabin is cute, but there are definitely some kinks that still need to be ironed out especially the “twin futon” that does not exist. For what I paid, I would definitely not return. Hopefully, the owners address these issues for their future guests.

Very pretty lake and a nice little cabin
We loved it. It's a real wood cabin - you don't see many of those in Connecticut, so this was pretty novel for us. It's got all the modern amenities though - internet, TV, etc. Clean and great for a small family. We had 2 adults and 2 kids. Nice bed for adults, kids had the air mattress in the living room and they loved "camping". We would stay again.

Fantastic Stay!
I was a little worried coming into the trip after seeing the previous review the day before check-in. But this was a great cabin and a great stay. it is small, but it's well done and makes a great cabin for a couple's trip. The lake and yard are fantastic, and my wife and I really enjoyed doing an evening kayak paddle around the lake together in the boats. Kitchen was small but nice. Bedroom was comfy (it did have curtains on all bedroom windows), and the living room was nice for relaxing and watching TV. Overall 10 out of 10. We would definitely stay again!

Wrong description
The house overall was nice. However it said there was a spa on the property which is the #1 reason why we booked this property. There was not a spa. Also said there was a 2 person kayak and a single. There was only 2 singles which was OK. The neighbor let us use his. This property had no curtains, which allowed the neighbors to look right inside. Could also benifit to have a gate on the porch and a fence between properties, as it's a dog friendly property, as is the neighbors home. No grilling tools for the charcoal grill. The bathroom had a little smell. But according to the neighbor, it had septic problems that are supposed to be fixed this year by the HOA. The bed is extremely uncomfortable. The lake is beautiful, the people are really friendly. I'd go back again if these things I've listed were taken care of.
