About Debbie Taylor

My husband and I started our family in the Boston area. Our three boys spent many weekends and summer vacations at the 'lake house' as we fondly refer to our home away from home. We have taught many a child how to waterski on this lake! Currently we live in Southern California as my husband followed an opportunity he could not pass up. He works for a movie theatre sound system manufacturer and I am an occupational therapy adminstrator at a pediatric clinic.

Debbie Taylor purchased this house in 1988
Why Debbie Taylor chose East Haddam

This 'lake house' of ours is our connection to family and friends in New England. We look forward to our time there every summer in August. All of our friends have thoroughly enjoyed their visits to the 'lake house' and refer to it as a beautiful piece of heaven!!

What makes this house unique

When you see the view of the serene and pristine lake you will immediately know why we fell in love with this property. The view takes your breath away! With the porch, the wrap around deck, the patio and the dock, the outdoor living spaces are wonderful. The open floor plan allows us to spend a lot of time together enjoying each other's company as well as the view from all rooms. We love the privacy, the fabulous restaurants and the infamous Goodspeed Opera House. Visits to the artistic town of Chester are highlights for us.

What a terrific week!!

My summers get pretty crazy traveling for work and staying in numerous hotel rooms. When I finally managed to squeeze in a week off between jobs, I figured some rest and relaxation was what I needed most. Renting this beautiful lake house became everything I wanted and more. There was such a great mixture of tranquility and exciting lake activities. One minute I was lounging on the main deck, and the next I was swimming, canoeing, or even taking advantage of all the unique restaurants in town. If I could go back and do anything differently, I would have stayed longer than just one week. If you are looking for a place to relax while continuing to stay active and enjoying the outdoors, then this is your place. I hope to find time to go back and experience more of what East Haddam has to offer.

Great lakefront retreat

5 of 5
Submitted: January 8, 2013 Stayed: August 2012
This lakefront home is beautiful. There are 3 bedrooms and a large open concept living area that is comfortable for a group. The kitchen had all of the amenities. We got up early each morning for a canoe ride around the lake. The water was still and the air cool as we watched the birds begin the day. Each day we spent a good deal of time swimming, boating and sunning on the dock. In the afternoons, we explored all the little riverfront towns and returned for the sunset and cocktails on the deck. The Goodspeed Opera House is nearby and we enjoyed a performance there. Our stay here was delightful

Simply lovely property

This property is so very special. The lake house and property is enveloped in natural beauty. Every view is framed by lush greenery and the reflection of a clear beautiful lake. The lake house has an open floor plan which is perfect for family/friends gatherings either in a lovely open air full ceiling dining/living room area, on the screened porch, or on the full length deck area. Each of the bedrooms are also spacious and very comfortable with breath taking views. The dock is another perfect place to relax and enjoy the lake water which is absolutely pristine. The property is clean, well-kept and the property owners were especially kind and helpful. The property is also conveniently located near top rated restaurants, interesting sight-seeing destinations, and quaint east coast shops. This property is a New England gem!

The perfect haven to escape from the stresses of everyday life.

My husband and I stayed at this lovely secluded camp in August of 2013. After travelling the curvy dirt road to this cottage, it is such a pleasant surprise to arrive at this beautiful, secluded, cottage, tucked in amongst the trees. The attention to detail in the design of this home made us feel like we were vacationing with the rich and famous. Our favorite feature is the large expanses of windows in every room providing an exquisite view of nature everywhere you look, even on a rainy day. We woke up to the singing of the birds and call of the loons. You can really experience the “camp” feel at this cottage in the woods, while still enjoying all the modern conveniences.

The owners are very accommodating and knowledgeable about the area and have stocked this cottage with every amenity you could want. There is no need to pack anything but your clothes. It is very quiet and peaceful, clean, and provides plenty of both sunny and shaded areas to gather and enjoy each other’s company. The dock down by the water is very private since there is an island directly out front. We spent many hours visiting with our relatives from the area, catching up on each other’s news, and enjoying each other’s company without any interruptions.

It is a truly the perfect haven to escape from the stresses of everyday life. We came home feeling refreshed and with pictures and memories to last a lifetime. Thanks Dan and Debbie for sharing your place with us!

What a get away!! I would give this rental a rating of excellent!! It is clean, spacious, comfortable, has a great functional kitchen and magnificent views. The large wrap around back deck is a special place for entertaining and enjoying the lake! A great retreat for family and friends. The lake is quiet, clean and beautiful and great for boating. The dock is a favorite for lounging by the water and enjoying the scenery, nature and boat activity. This property has been well maintained and would be a superb retreat for any vacationer. Going into Chester on Sunday mornings for their weekly fair is not to be missed. East Haddam is home to the Goodspeed Opera House where you can enjoy a show. Enjoy!!
