Nice views, not spectacular
Positives, Good Owner response, home is well appointed. Negatives, this was a rental and I do not expect to find sheets left out to make the bed, I paid to use the house and do not want to call the owner if I choose to adjust the heat. On Check Out Sheet, it was suggested that the bedding, towels and laundry be started prior to leaving. We have rented numerous homes, have a great rating and have never encountered these issues.

Charming lakefront cottage
This charming lakefront cottage on Lake Harwinton was perfect for our getaway weekend. Lots of room for the 2 of us and our dog. The cottage was super-clean and comfy, with lovely views of the lake; the interior decor was delightful. The house was stocked with everything you could think of. It was an easy drive to local grocery and dining. The Lake Harwinton area was quiet with lakefront cottages and it was a comfortable 1-2 mile walk on the road around the lake. Rainy weather prevented us from making use of the kayaks, deck and grill, but we still had a great time. We would love to return!

About the host

Hosted by Ella Dreskin

Host profile image
We love the water and especially this lake. We looked for years before buying a home on beach drive. The scenery from this side of the lake is quite breathtaking and tranquil.

Why they chose this property

No motor boats on the lake, just small electric engines, kayaks and sail boats. When the sun sets it creates a picture image of the trees and homes from across the lake on the lake surface.

What makes this property unique

Proximity to Mohegan Sun and Foxwood Casinos, Warner Theater, wine trail, antique shopping, hiking trails and close to Ski Sundown!
