Beautiful lake house
Property and home are beautiful. The larger home on adjacent property (Sunny Day) is close and if a larger group is staying there can be loud in the tranquil setting during the day. Otherwise, the setting is beautiful and the house was perfect for our family of 6 (3 couples). We enjoyed the kayak, paddle board, fishing, evening fire pit and views from upstairs deck and downstairs patio.

Great Stay
The house was in great shape on the inside, plenty of room. The lower level is a bit damp, but overall the place has lots of amenities. Lots of options for paddleboards and kayaks. The outside needs some updating and a power wash on the deck would go a long way. The lake was lovely and Newtown has lots of great options for everything. The management company responded very quickly to all my messages.

Lakeside Paradise
This house was perfect for 5 adults, an infant, and 2 dogs. The kitchen was well equipped and conducive to making meals, with inside and outside eating options. Great views of the lake from everywhere in the house. One downside was access to the lake. Fairly treacherous getting into the water, although we managed and of course easier for the dogs to jump in from the dock. Also, very close and open to neighbors on one side. We were fortunate to have friendly people in the house next door.

Overall a great place to stay. Great space and nice furnishings inside and out. I gave cleanliness a 4 because the outside decking was really dirty. Although there was access to the lake and dock, it was very dangerous and needs repair.

Peaceful and Relaxing
The property is as wonderful as the pictures show. The kitchen was well stocked with everything needed for us to prepare many meals. We ate outside on the deck overlooking the lake. There is plenty of room to spread out. Three full baths were perfect for us and our adult children. Only downside was there is no bathroom on the main living floor- not a problem for us but it could be if you are traveling with someone who has issues with stairs. It was unanimous we will stay here again.

Great Location
Our family enjoyed our stay at the Cottage during our recent visit to CT for our son's college graduation. The views of the lake from the living room, the deck and the patio with fire pit are great and very peaceful. The kitchen was nicely outfitted with everything needed to cook and prepare meals. The only drawback was that there were no closets or chest of drawers in the (2) basement bedrooms. There was no place to unpack and hang our clothes for the 4 days we were there; the only closet was in the loft bedroom which had a large walk-in. Overall, a nice play to stay for a family when in the Newton area.

From the moment we came we felt right at home! Such a comfortable place to stay! Every morning we were greeted by a beautiful bald eagle on the lake as well as the chitter chatter of birds. For those who have a hard time climbing stairs, this is NOT the place for you. Bedrooms as well as bathrooms are not on the main level. No matter we would definitely want to stay again!

This home is a lovely place to relax and the living room was the perfect spot to unwind. It is comfortably and thoughtfully furnished, with a lovely lakefront view and quick access to Newtown's shops and restaurants. The owner was very responsive and kind. We enjoyed walking in the neighborhood with pretty lake vistas all along the way. A great place to stay with family.

Beautiful lake house fall weekend.
We were in town for 4 days visiting family in late October, 4 adults. House is extremely nice, right on the lake with gorgeous views. Very quite area. We had a fire alarm go off and the property manager called us within seconds and helped us figure it out. Still not sure why it went off but it was nice knowing they were in contact immediately. House has everything you could possibly need. Beds were super comfortable. We will hopefully be back next fall.

Beautiful lakefront cottage getaway
We stayed in this cottage over a long weekend in August and it was exactly what we had hoped for - clean, spacious, and full of lakefront beauty (and activities). Communication with the management co was easy and relatively quick…we’d definitely rebook this cottage! Only bummer was that we had one wildlife visitor we hadn’t expected appear in one of the downstairs bedrooms but otherwise we all had a great time.

Beautiful property! Awesome experience!
Beautiful property inside and out! House was very clean upon arrival. Enough beds and baths for everyone. Very comfortable beds. Well stocked kitchen. There was even a set of kiddie plates, cups, utensils, which we appreciated. The (private) lake was very clean (we were amazed at the lack of weeds in the water which is typical for most lakes / ponds) and quiet (no motor boats allowed, there were times when we were on the (provided) paddle-boards and kayaks and felt like we had the entire lake to ourselves). Close to grocery and shopping stores and ice cream. We did a hike in a nearby state park and also did a "hike with llama's" which was also very close by. Awesome experience! We had a couple friends, and then our kids, join us for different nights during the week. One of our kids brought their small dog for a couple nights which was very convenient. Another brought their 1 & 1/2 year old baby. Overall great stay! Highly recommended!

Sunny Day Delight
The best appointed kitchen ever. Comfortable furniture and beds There are four tv’s but only the great room tv was usable because we attached our lap top via an hdmi cord. There was no way we could reach the back of the bedroom tv’s to properly insert our streaming stick. TV’s are too difficult to manage due to the need to use our own streaming sticks. Instructions to make this connection especially in the bedrooms would have been helpful. Also, we would have enjoyed the surround sound experience if instructions had been available as to how to connect to the Bluetooth speakers. The views from the house and patio are wonderful. We all had a great time. Thank you for opening your cottage for our enjoyment. We highly recommend this property for hearty folks who can easily walk up and down stairs Dinner 4-6.
