Welcome to our charming lake-house in the heart of Amston, CT! This cozy retreat is perfect for a peaceful getaway, with friends or family. The house offers a comfortable interior for essential living space, but the house also offers a beautiful screened in porch, which includes a sectional and porch swing where you can enjoy the atmosphere of the outdoors without the outdoor pests. The house also has a fantastic fire-pit, which can be used by guests. Firewood will also be available on premises. The house is very close to the lake and offers exclusive lake access with parking passes also included. Spend your days swimming, building sand castles, playing volleyball, or simply basking in the beauty of the lake. Whether you’re looking for adventure or relaxation, this hidden gem is the perfect retreat!
This house is one of the best I have to offer, as it's truly a relaxing getaway! One thing I did want to mention, is that unfortunately, many cell phone carriers offer a weak signal in this area if you're not connected to Wi-Fi. The house does have Wi-Fi, but you should expect your cell phone to have a weak signal outside of the houses Wi-Fi network. I actually feel it helps you truly unplug and spend time with friends and family, but I do like to mention as a caution.

This property was picture perfect. The host also was easy to communicate with to coordinate my stay. If you are looking for a perfect place, this is it.
My husband and I stayed for a short trip at The Highland House. It was just as the pictures show- very clean, bright,
and inviting upon entrance.
The house was adorably decorated. The kitchen had all the small appliances you could need, and top notch major appliances.
The back deck is so inviting with views of the tall trees- fall colors were beautiful! I spent a lot of time on the boho swing on the back deck. Loved it!
The area was mostly quiet- with a little bit of typical neighborhood noise- dogs, lawn mowers, but that was OK bc it felt like you lived there.
Lastly, David was great with communications- we texted back and forth a couple times and he always responded quickly.
We loved every bit of this area and house- it was so relaxing! I wish we had stayed longer!
