What a warm, cozy cottage to spend the holidays in. Lake views and fireplace were most special. We hope to revisit this special home.

We have spent two consecutive summers at this cottage and love it. It is quiet, private and peaceful. The views from the dock are unparalleled. We enjoy making smores and sitting around the fire pit in the beautiful outdoor area. The owner and manager are very responsive and pleasant. The cottage is located close to the town beach and the shops in New Preston.

Didn't realize Connecticut was hiding this place! Such a warm and welcoming little town and you can really tell the owner of this house puts care into the property. It's my understanding he usually uses the place for himself and rents it out occasionally when he's out of town. If you're lucky enough to grab it during one of the few times it's available you won't regret it. We stayed here with our kids for 2 weeks and it quickly felt like home. For food, there's a great grocery store about 10 minute drive away, and a great diner/little restaurant about similar distance with incredible homemade muffins. For outings we spent a lot of time out on the water in the canoe (they actually provide you with a free boat and private dock!) and the kids did a lot of swimming. We made s'mores in the fire pit just about every night and you could see the entire night sky lit up with stars you would never see in more densely populated areas with more light pollution. Truly awe inspiring. We were graced with fantastic weather while we were there and all had so much fun we're already planning on making it back there next season if we can find a reservation. Too great a find to pass up!
