Comfortable, lovely water view, highly recommend

This house is a real find, and at a reasonable price! It is in a very quiet location overlooking the water. There are very cool glass railings, so you can see the water right through them. The kitchen has most everything you would need, and the house is well-maintained. There is satellite TV, internet, and a land line telephone (no cell phone reception).
My husband and I were there in late October, so we did not use the watercraft provided, but they were in good condition and it would have been fun if it weren't in the 40's.
The owner was very responsive when the internet briefly acted up, and when we wanted to extend our stay, he provided an easy way for us to pay him.
We highly recommend this property!!

Wonderful location any time of the year

5 of 5
Submitted: October 16, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
We arrived for a family reunion on Columbus Day weekend. The location
was perfect as it was half way between Massachusetts and New Jersey
where we were traveling from.
We immediately felt at home as we entered the house. It was very clean,
well equipped, and cozy.
The room setting was ideal, as two of my grown-up children were single
and one of my sons was accompanied by his lovely expecting wife.
We had a wonderful time together. When the weather permitted, we
took the paddle boat and the canoe and enjoyed the beautiful surrounding
fall landscape from the middle of the lake.
We imagined how great this location must be during the summer when one can
sit outside on the porch relaxing in this peaceful environment. Even
though we could not spent much time outside due to the rain, we had a great
time inside the house. The house accommodated all of our needs. To all
of our technically savvy family members' surprise there was even well
functioning wifi in the house.
In summary, the location, the property and the service were all good. I don't hesitate for a second to recommend it to anyone who is looking for a peaceful, relaxing getaway leaving behind the everyday stress.

Get Away

4 of 5
Submitted: September 9, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
Our desire to "get away," while not really being far from home worked like a charm, here. We felt like we were in a different state; had relaxing dinners overlooking the water; got to use our kayak and canoe; and found beautiful Litchfield Country and the Berkshires right at our fingertips. The silence was golden!

Dale's hospitality and a beautiful cabin in tip-top clean and crisp shape added the final touches.

This is a great place to escape to...

So much more than a holiday.

5 of 5

We arrived at our Park Pond destination in the dark and in the rain after a delay ridden journey from Edinburgh.

Once inside our lakeside cottage, we felt immediately at home and the day's troubles melted away.

This needed to be a special find as holidaying wasn't our first priority. We had come to Connecticut for our daughter's wedding and on Monday 4th June a wedding there was. Not out on the deck as planned as the rain continued but with the beautiful backdrop of the lake and the bride's father fully kilted up, no-one noticed the weather.

The newly weds stayed on with us for the rest of the week and it was an easy transition to holiday mode. The house had everything we needed and we were spoiled for choice as both indoors or outdoors were comfortable for relaxing.

We enjoyed scenic drives in the Litchfield Hills and sampling nearby restaurants - Collins Diner and the Infinity Hall being firm favourites. However, our lasting memory will be the fun of pedalloing and kayaking the length of the pond courtesy of the boats which come with the property.

Everyone back home is envious of the beautiful setting for the wedding and can't
believe how much fun we all had. A wedding, a honeymoon and a holiday all in the space of a week. Who wouldn't have fun. Thanks Dale. We might well be back for more!

Autumn Escape

5 of 5
Submitted: February 28, 2011 Stayed: September 2010
My wife, myself and our two nearly grown kids enjoyed a last vacation together in the lovely Berkshires. Laura is now off to law School and Steve is busy learning some important skills in the US Navy in Charleston, SC. I don't think we could have found a better spot to relax and refresh and reconnect one more time before life moves on.
Dale and Gail were perfects hosts and Dale even cooked a meal for us on the on the upper level deck one afternoon. Can't get much better than that! Steve and I took several long interesting walks and never saw a car-even once. The lake is delightful, clean, cool (in mid September) and very rural! but that's what we were looking for. We brought our own canoes, but really didn't need to as the ones with the property are fine and functional. As to the accomodations, they are first class all the way. All the appliances and fixtures are new and in good working order and the bedding and furnishings are all in good shape and very clean and comfortable.
I highly recommend this property for anyone looking to get away from the noise and congestion of normal life, who want to relax, read and enjoy nature in a wonderful, very enjoyable setting.
