Lake Fun: PingPong, Pool Table, Slide, EV Charger

Fun on Lake Pocotopaug - Fun on the water with swimming, kayaks, rowboat, canoe, stand up paddle boards, and a water slide; fun on land with ping pong, pool table, corn hole, badminton, Kubb, and many puzzles and board games for all ages. Gather around the fire pit at night & roast marshmallows. Located in central CT with easy day trips to Mystic Seaport & Aquarium, Gillette Castle, Mark Twain House and so much more. Close to renowned musical theater at Goodspeed Opera House. Hiking and mountain biking possibilities galore at close by state parks. EV CHARGER FOR YOUR USE IN GARAGE!

Ever been burned by an unresponsive property management company when renting a short term property? We have! That’s why we try our utmost to provide you a five star experience at Fun on the Lake. We are close by and generally available to help with any questions or special requests.

85 feet of lake front with dock. Spacious modern house with huge well equipped kitchen - everything from baking pans to 24 assorted herbs and spices. There is a 24 inch Amazon Fire TV in the kitchen. On the main level you will find the kitchen and living room, each with a sliding door opening onto the upper deck; master bedroom and bath suite with a door opening directly out onto the upper deck; as well as a second bedroom with a queen bed and another full bathroom. On the lower level is another large living room with 2 sleeper sofas, a bedroom with one twin bed and one double bed, and a full bathroom. The 55 inch Samsung TV is in the lower level living room. Also on the lower lever is the washer and dryer (laundry detergent provided). From the sliding doors on the lower level, you will exit onto the lower patio level with an outdoor eating area protected from the rain. The garage has been converted into a game room with a pool table and a ping pong table. Don't worry, there is still plenty of off road parking in the driveway in front of the garage and a secondary parking area at the side of the property. There is a Level 2 Electric Vehicle charging station in the garage, available for your use.

(Dock, water slide, swimming, kayaks, rowboat, canoe, and stand up paddle boards are available during the appropriate seasons only. The game room is unheated. )

Guests will have access to the entire house, except for one or two small locked supply closets. We love our area in every season of the year. Fall brings beautiful leaves and great hiking and mountain biking, or ride the Airline Trail. Winter is a peaceful quiet time here, with hiking, skating, cross-country skiing, and ice fishing. Spring means beautiful flowers, pleasant temperatures, more hiking and biking, and a return to boating. And I guess we don't need to tell you how beautiful summer is, and how much there is to do here. Year round, just over a mile away on the other side of the lake, is a nice gym called Team Fitness. We have made arrangements with them to provide discounted access to our guests for $10 per person for up to a week.

We're eager to hear from our guests, both about anything they may need and any ideas they have for improving the property. We may be able to help you with anything from finding babysitting to suggestions for activities to finding a mountain biking guide.

We are in the middle of a quiet friendly neighborhood. Spellman Point Road is a dead end road, so there is not a lot of traffic. Just a 3 minute walk down Bay Road is a Middlesex Land Trust park with trails for walking and mountain biking. Five minute drive to either Stop & Shop or Big Y for grocery shopping. Eight minute drive to the large playground at Memorial School. Lots of cute shops along downtown Main Street. 6 minute drive to the Air Line Trail, a great bike or walking rail trail.

We are right on Lake Pocotopaug, a beautiful body of water, providing boating and swimming opportunities. Across the lake from us is a town beach with a playground, and it is open to the public (although only residents can park there). We have a rowboat, kayaks and paddleboards for use by our guests, and a slide out on the water which kids will enjoy. On occasion the owners may also use the kayaks, paddle boards, rowboat or slide.

Plenty of free parking. Approximately 1 mile walk to Middletown Area Transit bus stop.

The owners of the house live in the adjacent property. We are always available by messaging for any questions or problems, and usually can come over in person if necessary.
If interested, check with your hosts about local baby-sitters, all kinds of biking expeditions, windsurfing and other local activities.

LONGER STAYS ARE AVAILABLE: there is a 17% discount for a week long stay. Contact owners for further details.

SPECIAL OFFERS: FOR 4 TO 6 DAY WEEKENDS THIS FALL - 10% OFF
OUR LAST 2 WEEKS OF SUMMER 2024 - $300 OFF WITH DISCOUNT CODE "LAST CHANCE"

Great family vacation!
Beautiful setting! Very comfortable and clean rental. We rent a lot of VRBO properties and this is one of my favorites. The Kitchen was stocked and extremely spacious. Linda was a pleasure to work with, and I would highly recommend this property. The fireplaces didn't work, but from what I understand, the owners might be working on getting them running again. Other than that, excellent vacation!

A Wonderful Wesleyan Parents Weekend Retreat
We rented this beautiful property for our first parents' weekend at Wes. It has a magnificent view, a wonderful layout, and the best hosts ever, who live right next door. They sent us lots of helpful info, gave us and our dog some snacks, and even brought over a dog bed. We will be back. We highly recommend it to any family or group of friends looking for a special place to make memories!

Graduation Weekend
If a quiet no fuss lake trip near Wesleyan is up your alley this home was great! Clean well maintained and fully stocked on lake w paddle boards. Kayaks, row boat, tubes, slides, grill. Great space to hang w family instead of hotel and enjoy time w your kids ! Dogs welcome too and ours was sooo happy. Owner lives right next door so as long as you are courteous and not late night party people it’s fine. Location near supermarkets and nice restaurant on lake too. We enjoyed our stay.

Family fun at the lake
Location of property was great! Nice size dock so kids can jump in water plus big enough to keep boat there. The water slide and pad was great fun. The lake was beautiful. The house was mostly updated but could use a little power washing. Overall, our family had a fantastic time. House had everything needed to cook, sleep and play.
