13 Reviews of Property 124476 in New Preston, Connecticut

I met up with five ladies all of us being childhood friends and deciding to meet up again after almost 45 to 50 years. We had the time of our lives. This lakefront house is so beautiful and surrounded by breath taking scenery. It was clean, beautifully furnished, had everything we needed from linens and towels being supplied to a fantastic well stocked kitchen with all the utensils and pots and pans you could need to cook, or fantastic restaurants if you chose to eat out. Comfortable living room, big dining room, beautiful bedrooms, two nice bathrooms. We had the most wonderful time and were so glad we chose this home to rent. We will treasure the memory all year long and would like to return to this beautiful home next fall for another get together.

Dear Missy,
We found the perfect family gathering place in your wonderful Adirondack home on Lake Waramaug. To surprize our daughter for her birthday, we looked for a place with warmth, plenty of room to hang out together, cook, gather around a table and spend time together celebrating. The walls there speak of many generations of celebration and gatherings. The lovely old hearths in the dining room and livingroom, were a warm backdrop to our evening meals and long rambling talks.
We had everything we needed for making meals and living comfortably there. Though the weather did not cooperate with us much, we plopped out on the covered porch on rainy afternoons and enjoyed the view of the lake. Having use of the canoe was fun on that one day that the sun shown through and we did get out on the lake for a short time.
The approach to the driveway is a bit tricky to navigate and the road in front can be busy, but being close to the lake was really great.
Thank you for opening your special family place for us. Clearly it is a home long cherished and full of family memories. We've added some of ours.

7 friends spent the weekend at the Lake House. It was the most relaxing weekend we have ever spent together (we do a get away once a year) The view from the porch is spectacular, you feel like you're in a tree house overlooking the lake. We had planned to spend the an afternoon sightseeing, we chose to visit the winery and head back to the porch The house is very well equipped and is even better in person than advertised. Dealing with the owners was a great experience, very responsive to emails and questions. Everyone is asking to return to next year which is impressive as the group of us have nver gone to the same place twice. All of us highly recommend this property

We have just returned from a wonderful week at the Lake House. The house was extremely well equipped for our extended family, including two grandchildren. Bike rides around the lake, dinners on the large porch with beautiful sunsets, hikes up to the Pinnacle, short excursions to neighboring towns, lively games around the large dining room table after dark -- these all provided memories that we will long treasure. The owners are very helpful and pleasant. This was a terrific destination not too far from home!

"The Lake House” is even better than advertised. It is as other reviewers have stated: well equipped, clean, charmingly decorated, and roomy. It is more difficult to describe the special warmth and calm of the house that make it very welcoming. The owners are most responsive to questions if any arise. Yes, there is the cell phone restriction, but on our way to the nearby farm stand to buy fresh picked corn, we would stop on Tanner Hill to get reception. The New Preston area has many attractions to offer – we visited Kent, Washington and Tanglewood. But we were most content taking long swims several times a day, lounging on the private dock a few strokes from the shore, canoeing, cooking, watching the sunsets at the beach or sharing dinners on the porch with appreciative guests."

My 2 sisters, my mother and my niece spent a spring weekend at the Lake House. It was a perfect place -- clean and welcoming, well-stocked, charming and beautifully decorated bedrooms, lots of hot water. It is large enough that we could do things in different rooms and not feel we were on top of one another. Drinks on the porch before dinner. Board games later on in the kitchen. We all curled up with books at different times in different comfy chairs or couches. The weather cooperated so we spent time rowing one afternoon, but also enjoyed the changing light at sunrise and sunset. One comment--my 85-year-old mother had more difficulty with the stairs than I'd anticipated, so she ended up sleeping on a couch, which turned out fine and using the full bath on the first floor. (Go Mom!) A word to the wise--there was no cell phone (AT&T and one other) service in the house or even very nearby because it is so hilly, I think, so coordinating arrival times and communicating with family at home required a trip to town.

I loved our weekend at the house. It was so warm and comfy, cozy and just beautiful.

everything you need is provided for you.

I came up for Sharon's birthday weekend, along with 4 other women, some of whom didn't know each other. Sharon and I drove up together, got the house ready for the rest of the girls. When we drove up we were taken by the beauty of the location. Once inside, it brought it to another level. Here's a home that was well loved and is very welcoming to the visitors that frequent her. Absolutely perfect! Everything was clean and neat as a pin. The cooks of the group were amazed at how well stocked your kitchen was with everything. Made our lives a lot easier I can tell you. We all had a wonderful time and want to do it again. Old friends and new came together and formed a bond. One I believe your home helped build. Thank you again for your generosity and sharing of your wonderful home.

Sincerely,

Heidi
