Lakeside cottage overhanging the water, beautiful window views across the lake

Come visit our cute cottage literally overhanging the lake!

Our recent remodeling gives the cottage a clean, bright and sunny feel while keeping the character of this 1933 summer home. In the living room the big glass doors and windows look out at the beautiful fall colors on the lake. The decks are ideal for an outside meal, barbecuing, yoga, reading, family time, or just enjoying the serenity of nature and the lake. The cottage overhangs the edge of the lake with an expansive 20'x24' water level deck that you can swim or kayak from, and a large second story deck which makes you feel like royalty as you view nature and the lake from above. Both decks are ideal for an outside meal, barbecuing, yoga, reading, family time, or just enjoying the serenity of nature and the lake.

The cozy cottage sleeps up to six people (4 adults, 2 kids allowed by the town), making it perfect for a vacationing couple (or two) or a family. It has a medium size bedroom with a queen size bed, and a small bedroom with a full size bed. There is also a queen bed downstairs in the family room. There is a fully equipped kitchen, dining area and a living room with large french doors that open onto the upper deck with magnificent views of the lake. On the lower level is the living/recreation room (including laundry machines) which opens onto the water level deck. There are always areas on the deck to be in the shade if needed. There are two small parking spaces that will fit a maximum of two cars.

Kayaks and a canoe are provided for your use at no additional charge. There is also a Huck Finn style raft to sit on or swim from during the summer, or to untie and float around on. We have internet, a smart TV with Netflix provided, and indoor games. If you choose, we have a hot tub on the lower deck with beautiful lake views. The maintenance fee is an additional $40 for 1-3 nights, $75 for 4+ nights. Also, a paddle board rental may be available, if requested.

The cottage is removed from noise and bustle, and the quiet and beautiful lake makes it a really fun place to enjoy being part of nature. It is still just a 10 minute drive from Mystic-- a favorite tourist town, 5 area wineries, the Connecticut Shoreline, and 5 minutes from Foxwoods casino.

There are endless recommendations for all sorts of places less than 20 minutes away. Here are a few suggestions:

The house is exactly what it looks like in the photos. The location is amazing away, from the city, but less than a 10min drive to foxwoods. I bet its even better in the summer with it being right on the lake. Definitely will go back!

We stayed at the cottage over the holiday to visit family in the area with our two dogs. It was a perfect quiet spot, where we could relax in between all the hustle and bustle. Host was friendly and kind, and we had everything we needed. Will definitely keep this place in mind when we travel in the area for the holiday again. Thank you, Bobby!

What a wonderful place. If you're looking for a peaceful, quiet vacation this is the place for you. The lake is beautiful no motor boats allowed perfect for kayaking and swimming.

Stunning views, could be cleaner
Beautiful location, stunning views, quiet and lots of fun swimming and kayaking for a family. Kitchen and bathroom were clean. However, while the property listing is clear that dogs are welcome, the presence of dog hair and dog smells were much more than we expected and could not be ignored. Given that there is a cleaning fee, we did not expect this to be the case.

Incredible cottage with all the amenities!
This is one of the best stays we've had on VRBO! Right from the beginning, the host was extremely kind and welcoming. He met us at the property and showed us around, offering advice on activities we could enjoy. We stayed with my two children (ages 6 and 8) and our two dogs. Everyone had an amazing vacation, and our only regret was that we didn't book our stay for longer! There are two kayaks and a canoe available for use. The house has all the amenities, including a floating dock, fishing pole and tackle, and a hot tub. The house was clean and well maintained. We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation and will be booking again for next year! We highly recommend this host and his properties!!

Feels Remote, Close to Everything
Exceptionally clean home literally on the lake w 2 decks to enjoy beautiful views and access to the lake. There is a hot tub right on the lake and Kayak available. We rented here because it is 8 mins to Foxwoods where we were attending a show, but ended up making most of our trips to downtown Mystic, 15 mins away. Great host, responsive and easy to communicate with.

Beautiful Winter Getaway
We were looking to try somewhere new to us, so glad we picked this place! The neighborhood is very quiet, and It was gorgeous on the lake- the views are stunning. The hot tub on the deck was so nice to be in during the winter! We liked that Foxwoods was about 10 minutes away and that Mystic was a short ride from the house.. the house is very comfortable and relaxing, lots of blankets and pillows. We loved it and plan to go back for a spring or summer visit! Thank you for being such a great host Bobby!

Comfortable cottage
We enjoyed our stay very much! Pleasantly decorated and comfortable home. The views are fantastic and there were two large decks to enjoy it from. We slept on the lower level which was cozy. Nice shower and kitchen. Lots to do in the area. We spent evenings in Foxwoods which is 10 minutes away. Mystic had great shopping and plenty of restaurants and an incredible French bakery called Sift. We plan on coming back in the summer to enjoy the lake and nearby RI beaches.
