Girl's weekend on the lake
Girl's weekend on the lake

We had a great time at "The Cottage"! We spent lots of time out on the deck and in the hot tub but especially loved having the kayaks, canoe, and paddle board available whenever we felt like going out on the lake. We had a fantastic weekend even though we had to spend a good bit of Saturday afternoon inside due to a strong rainstorm passing through - it was lovely to watch it come in off the lake! (and forced us to pay some attention to the Olympics on TV) The house is perfect for a weekend getaway with friends. We stayed in and cooked dinner together on Friday, enjoying the outside space. Although the rain took over Saturday evening, we spent most of the early part of the day on the lake in the kayaks, etc. exploring the lake. We ventured out Saturday night to Mohegan Sun (20 minute drive) and had a great time. We aren't much for gambling but had a lovely dinner/drinks and thoroughly enjoyed people watching at the casino :) On our way out of town Sunday morning, we stopped in Mystic to explore (less than 10 minutes away) and grabbed lunch at Mystic Pizza (yum!)
If you are looking for a place to stay with beautiful scenery, lake access, and close to fun - this is the place! The cottage is just as it looks in the pictures and video the owner provides. It is not a luxury condo but it is clean and well-maintained which is all that I need when I can hop in a kayak and paddle around the lake all day and then head out for dinner on the town :) The weekend went smoothly, no issues with the house whatsoever. Thanks, we'll be back again i'm sure!
