About The Owner

My husband originally purchased this lake property for my two sons . We enjoyed many years with friends and family at this property. Every one is always amazed at how large and beautiful it is. What a delight to see such smiles on while catching fish ,swimming and boating in our very own private crystal clear lake. It has been a true pleasure .Now that the boys have grown we decided to rent it and let others experience the wonderful pleasures it has to offer.

The Owner purchased this chateau / country house in 2005

Great Memorial Day Weekend Stay

5 of 5
Submitted: May 29, 2012 Stayed: May 2012
A group of friends and I got together at this home for Memorial Day and couldn't have asked for a better stay. Perfectly located between Boston and New York, the two cities my party came from, we all arrived Friday evening to be blown away by the size and privacy of the home. We didn't leave the property all weekend, soaking in the sun during the day, while paddling around on the boats the home owner so graciously provided and at night we huddled around the fire pit- where the wood was also stacked up and ready to go for our stay.

When we first walked in, we were a bit worried that the house wouldn't have NBC Sports Network so we could watch the Rangers- Devils game- but they did!

The house overall was great- we couldn't have asked for anything better to spend the Memorial Day weekend.

Peaceful retreat away from NYC but not too far from good pizza

5 of 5
Submitted: April 2, 2012 Stayed: March 2012
Amazing. We lucked out with the unseasonably warm March 2012 weather so we could take full advantage of all the amenities this house has to offer. Bonfires by the lake, gently drifting on the canoe, tossing horseshoes, shooting hoops, and whacking baseballs as hard as you can hit 'em are some of the many things me and some of my friends did on the premises. Half of us came up from NYC via MetroNorth to ShoreLineEast to Guilford. From the train station to the house is a mere $20 cab ride. Oh, and Guilford is only a hop, skip, and a jump from great New Haven pizza (Pepe's, Sally's, Modern, and Bar to name four). The owner is very nice and easily accessible and even has a caretaker in the apt below the house available for emergencies, etc. This was supposed to be a once-in-a-lifetime thing but a couple of my friends enjoyed the location so much we're talking about making it an annual mission.

Getaway for All Season!

5 of 5
Submitted: March 25, 2012 Stayed: February 2012
My family of five rented this home for a month and had a great time! The house was well stocked with anything we might have needed. The deck and various docks were perfect for a place to read or relax. The kids loved the lake and foosball table. The fishing, swimming, and hiking in the area is top notch! The owners were great to work with and genuinely wanted us to have a good time. This house made for such a great vacation, we can't wait to come back!

Even More Beautiful in Person!

5 of 5
Submitted: March 5, 2012 Stayed: February 2012
My husband and I searched high and low for the perfect place to spend my 30th birthday that would fit both of our personalities and we found it in Guilford On the Lake. I loved being able to get away from the city and the noise and be surrounded by nature but still able to get out and be active. We saw the pictures and it looked gorgeous. I was immediately interested but nothing prepared us for the breathtaking views when we arrived. I tried all week to take pictures that captured how beautiful it was but I just couldn't create one that compared to being there in person. Another couple did join us one night and there was plenty of room for us all to do our own thing as well as all gather around the table for meals or in the living room to play board games. We did get a chance to take advantage of the fire pit, we got a fire going and ate at the outside picnic table. Doesn't matter what time of year, anyone can enjoy this beautiful lake property. OH! and there are some fun wine vineyards in the area and lots of great hiking around the lake!

Winter Wonderland!

5 of 5
Submitted: February 3, 2012 Stayed: January 2012
My wife and my five year old stayed at this amazing property not too long ago to visit relatives, and we had an amazing time! It snowed while were there and it was beautiful. I took my son sledding and we made a snowman as a family. My son had the time of his life. We walked around the lake while it was snowing and it was a winter wonderland. It was a time my family and I will never forget. We will definitely be going there again very soon.
