Newly renovated cottage on the lake!

Come relax by the lake! Peaceful, rejuvenating, and lots of fun on one of the cleanest lakes in CT. No gas engines allowed on the water, which ensures a peaceful stay. The beach is just 30 seconds away. Enjoy water views from the front yard and chill out in the evening at the fire pit. The owner lives just down the road and you're invited to use his kayak and canoe.
The cottage is newly renovated, with a completely updated bathroom. Lots of windows and great light. Come enjoy!

Lovely stay...
I came in from Florida (the day after Hurricame Milton), met my sister in New Jersey and spent the weekend in Harwinton. The house was perfect 👌 and in a great location. We enjoyed everything about the house; spacious rooms, nice natural light and full kitchen. It was a perfect getaway and our host couldn't have been nicer and easier to connect with.

Lovely Lake Cabin
This cabin was perfect for a place to rest and refresh after hiking some of Litchfield area's trails. It was as described by the host and he was very easy to reach with questions. We recommend this cabin as well-located for all that Litchfield county has to offer.

Great Getaway House
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Harwinton at John’s home. It was perfect for us and offered very nice amenities. The property is very well maintained. A bonus was not having to purchase firewood for our nightly camp fires. We would highly recommend this place for any small group and would happily rent from John again.

Lovely House
The house was lovely. The kitchen and bathroom are in wonderful condition, and both are stocked with all kinds of things you might need. We enjoyed the grill, fire pit, and playing games in the yard. The lake is across the street, but you need to walk a couple houses down the street and around the corner to get to the nearest beach/access. John is great, and we used his canoe and 2 kayaks for a peaceful trip around the lake a number of times. We put the roll-out cot in the smaller room with the double bed, and it was a little tight, but our teenage daughter was quite happy sleeping (and lounging) on it and being able to share the room with our family friend. There is also a bottled water dispenser which was a wonderful addition.

Exceeded our expectations
My friend and I took our kids (ages 7 and 10) up for a little lake get away. We had such a great time! It was great for kids, but would also be perfect for a couples trip. The lake is so clean and the owner let us borrow his very nice kayak and canoe. So fun! The house is very well stocked, and all the details of the place were very well thought out. The beds are so comfy! The picnic table outside was great for a pizza dinner (there’s a great pizza place very near by). Our first night we enjoyed s’mores by the fire pit. We will definitely be back!

The rental unit is a secret gem. Very clean and one of the best well stocked rentals I've ever seen. The rental was fantastic. It worked perfectly for what I need it while traveling with my mother. I will definitely be coming back.
