Just got back from a week at this charming cottage. Everything exactly as advertised and more. Lake is absolutely beautiful with crystal clear water and gradual sloping shore. View from the cottage deck is gorgeous, especially at sunset. We spent many restful hours sitting on the deck enjoying the lake view, breeze and each other's company. Kids swam, paddled, pedaled and fed the ducks. Many nearby restaurants and lounges of all types. (The kitchen is fully equipped, but we didn't cook a thing!) Good variety of shopping nearby as well. We bought a bunch of craft kits at the nearby Michaels and spent some delightful hours on the deck with glue and glitter. Fun! I would definitely recommend Sunset Point cottage.

RELAXING even with a 8 month old

We just came back from 5 days at the lake house and had a wonderful relaxing time in a beautiful cozy well appointed home. The moment you walk in the main room and see the 3 walls of windows with unobstructed views of the lake you know this house is special. We spent our days swimming in the lake, going out on one of 3 boats the house provides, reading on the comfy couches and sitting on the deck staring at the sunsets every night. We cooked on the grill and never felt the need to leave the oasis. We brought our 8mth old and his grandma as well and all hated to leave and hope to make it a yearly tradition. Judy was a pleasure to deal with and you can tell they thought of everything when putting the house together. We highly recommend it!!!

My husband and I recently spent a week here, and it was wonderful. The cabin is exactly as pictured and fully equipped. Perhaps the best part is the location. The site on the lake is gorgeous, quiet and peaceful. But even though you feel like you're "away from it all," there's good shopping nearby (Stop and Shop supermarket and Target) and lots of great day trips--Old Sturbridge Village, casinos, Newport & Providence RI. Jane, the owner, was a pleasure to deal with. We would definitely recommend this cabin!

I just spend a week in your really cozy cottage with my friends. We absolutely loved it. The views of the lake, the foliage were beautiful. The cottage is really well equipped. Everything there you need for a comfy stay. Jane and her family were very kind and answered all our questions. Great to be there in autumn. Hope to return another year in the summertime :o). Thanks for this special experience. Birgit

One for the books! Plenty of good fishinf,kayaking, canoeing, swimming in and on the most pristine lake in Connecticut. I just finished (sadly) a week in the most lovely cottage you can imagine with it's french countryside flair combined with a lakeside New England charm. The view is spectacular from the large wrap-around porch or dining at the table through the unobstructed windows. Definitely a place I will go back to next year and the year after that if I can. Owner more than willing to answer questions and do whatever it takes to make you comfortable. Convenietcnt to everything,shopping,antiquing,movies,etc.Abso

Summer at Sunset Point

Our family of four just spent a week at Sunset Point. It truly is a home away from home. Such a wonderful place to share with family & friends or to just have a quiet day on the lake. The home is ready and fully stocked for all types of entertainment. We plan to extend our stay for 2 weeks in the future. Downtown Putnam has a lot to offer for dining & entertainment. We really enjoyed walking/running around the lake each day. The walk is shaded and cool at any time of the day.

Special Place...

We really recommend this amazing cottage right on the peaceful lake. In May 2010 we have stayed here for 10 days and felt right at home. Our 2 children (4 & 7) adored the house, the lake and the area, so many fun things to see and do . We want to thank Jane for the wonderful stay and very kind help on all our questions. One day we hope to return to this special place again! Warm regards, The Veth Family - Holland

When I first arrived here and pulled into the driveway, I was literally speechless (which takes a lot!)over the panoramic view. I have just completed my second wonderful stay at your beautiful, cozy cottage. My first stay was during the summer months and now it is fall. Both seasons offer a fabulous reason to come back and see what the next season will bring to Lake Alexander....a winter wonderland, I am sure. The beautiful lake during the summer months was most refreshing and the magnificent fall foliage surrounding the lake is breathtaking. Sunset Point is truly "heaven on earth". I have travelled many places and Sunset Point ranks among one of the most beautiful places I have visited. Thank you, Jane and Neil, for opening your charming home to me. Looking forward to future stays..... Lynn, The Jersey Shore

My husband and I spent our honeymoon in this lovely cottage on Lake Alexander. The cottage is equipped with everything you need to have a comfortable vacation and the water is warm, clean and perfect for swimming and kayaking. We had a relaxing and peaceful stay and have already started planning when to come back!
