Well-equipped kitchen and bathrooms, clean and comfortable sitting area. Comfortable beds upstairs. Spectacular view of lake, plenty of seating outside which we enjoyed. Very much appreciated owner telling us about algae in lake. Easy check-in and check-out. We enjoyed our stay very much. A few suggestions: replace mattress on bed downstairs; replace outdoor lighting on steps leading to house; easier access to washing machine; remove spiders from ceiling corners :)

Another great stay at Lakeside Ferns. This house is the most fully appointed house we've ever stayed in - from the fully equipped kitchen, to the nice bed linens and comfy family room. And the view! The host is very easy to reach and pleasant to deal with.

We had a great time at Lakeside Ferns. Everything was very clean. The beds were super comfy and it was nice have a soaking tub since we only have a shower at our house. My kids really enjoyed it! Unfortunately we couldn’t swim because of the algae and that put a major damper on things. Apparently that’s a thing at the end of August so def keep that in mind. The boys fished instead and they love fishing so that worked out . They caught an eel and some catfish. We went to Gillette Castle which was great along with the local frisbee golf course. Marion was very responsive when we needed her and would def consider staying again. Thanks so much!

Another great stay

This is our third holiday stay here. It is easily the most fully equipped rental we have ever stayed at - the kitchen has everything you could want to cook and serve meals, the bed linens and towels are of very good quality, and little details like extra chargers, binoculars, and firewood are thought of and provided. On top of that, it is exceptionally clean. Our family loves staying here.

Rustic House on the Lake

This house was in the perfect location and had everything we needed for a 3 night stay. Marian, the host, was very accommodating and responsive to all our needs. The bedrooms were spacious, and the availability of boating equipment was a big plus! We wouldn’t hesitate to visit again!

We were in town for a family wedding and this house was perfect for our group. Well equipped and despite the cooler weather we enjoyed kayaking and canoeing on the lake. The fire pit was a nice bonus!

Lovely spot

We rented this place for overflow guests for our family reunion. Our family members didn’t spend much time there, since the main action was down the street, but they loved the view and reported that the beds were very comfortable. We live down the street from this VRBO location and we love Lake Pocotopaug!
