Wonderful Cottage and Beautiful Area

Everything was as described. It was the perfect escape by the lake to decompress and enjoy the surrounding area. Host was friendly and called before the arrival date. He went over a few things and answered questions. He left some fresh bread and baked goods to enjoy and everything I needed was available. The only issue I had was with the coffee maker which just needs some maintenance. My dogs got to come and enjoy the lake and some great walks as well. Good fishing off of the semi-private beach, 4 bass averaging 2-3 lbs., that I could land. It was difficult because of the bank, bring a net and watch for wildlife if you want to fish! The cottage and location was exactly what I was looking for. I would definitely recommend checking it out if you want to enjoy the lake and do some hiking.

Charming cottage with incredible view

This cozy cottage was perfect! It had everything we needed, including a great view of Lake Waramaug. Beds were super comfy and all linens were included. Hiking and biking trails were nearby. The Hopkins Inn and the Hopkins winery are right next door, and my husband and I enjoyed a wonderful dinner at the Inn and shopping at the winery's gift store.

Wonderful Getaway

The cottage was lovely, and perfect for a nice weekend getaway for two. The view was great, and sitting on the front porch was so relaxing. Tom was a great host and very communicative and provided everything you would want and then some! Hopefully we will be able to go back next year.

Hidden Gem in CT!

We could not have been more impressed with our stay at this cottage! Tom took such great care of us and we truly felt safe, clean, and comfortable during this covid-19 era. A true hidden gem that we couldn't recommend enough- Peaceful, beautiful, and with all you could need within walking distance!

Great week on Lake Waramug!

We stayed at the cottage the last week of July 2020 and had a wonderful time. The house has everything you need including great views from the porch, lake access, floaties, corn hole and comfy beds. Tom was super helpful and always available if we had any questions.

Perfect getaway from NYC

The property is nicer in person than on the website. Tom left us an INCREDIBLE gift package of fresh bread and pastries upon our arrival. The lake is beautiful, and short walk/drive to the semi-private beach, and we used the floaties to hang out on the water with our puppies. Had a blast. Thanks, Tom!!

Parardise on the lake

If we could give more than 5 stars we would. The lake is beautiful and the property is perfect. Tom's hospitality started by having cookies and muffins waiting for us. Including a great jam to spread on them. And dog biscuits for our puppy. There are many places of interest for walking and hiking. There are several quaint Connecticut towns nearby with great restaurants and shops. And a great restaurant right next door to the cottage. Do yourself a favor and visit the falls at the Kent state park. Thanks Tome we will be back next year.

Perfect Getaway!

We stayed at Tom's cottage for the long holiday weekend and loved every minute of it. Tom is a wonderful host and you can see his years in the hospitality business in every aspect of trip - from providing helpful information on nearby activities and the surrounding area to graciously leaving us some baked goods (and a doggie treat for the dog!). The location of the cottage is ideal. It is located right across the road from the lake which allowed for wonderful morning porch time looking out at the unencumbered views of the lake and surrounding greenery. The lake access is also a short walk down the road which is perfect for some lakeside reading, a quick dip in the beautiful water or watching the sunset. The cottage is also next door to an inn with delicious food and around the corner from a vineyard which had live music each night. It was great to be able to walk over and enjoy all the festivities without ever getting into the car and even with the events at these neighboring properties, the house itself was quiet and relaxing at all times of the day and night. The cottage itself is also very well appointed with all of the amenities one could need, including ample cookware, towels, beach chairs and floats. The beds were super comfy and everything was immaculately clean and seamlessly ready for us at check in. We couldn't recommend this house enough and cannot wait to return. Thanks Tom!!!
