Beautiful, quiet and private. Friendly neighbors, lots of sitting areas conducive to good conversations. Beautifully appointed rooms have the summer cottage feel yet I’m sure it’s a very cozy stay in the winter, and will consider returning! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. If you stay here, be sure to look through the photo album showing the previous condition of the house and the transformation it underwent. Lots of work!

The host did not provide any type of check in information in advance. He only replied an hour before that he would meet us at the house. This should have been communicated prior to so that we could decide if we wanted to stay or not. We were not comfortable with that and never stayed there. When this was discussed he offered zero refund. An overall terrible experience and would never stay at any of his properties. If I could give a zero for the experience. I would. Beware.

Peaceful getaway

Our family stayed at Rich's lake house in early July. There was plenty of space to spread out both indoors and out. We did not have much rain during our stay, but the covered porch was a great place to enjoy an early evening thunderstorm. The lake was the main attraction and the beach areas were perfect for both adults and the young children in our group. The beds were comfortable and all the living areas were clean and welcoming. Rich could not have been a more friendly and accommodating host. He expressed a genuine concern for the quality of our experience. I can recommend his place without reserve.

Fantastic Place

We really enjoyed staying at this place. The house is very spacious, including a huge backyard right on the lake. The kids played on the water, had fun with the kayaks and paddleboat, and all the games they had in the closet downstairs. Thanks Rich for the great hospitality. We will definitely be back.

Perfect Weekend Stay

The house was perfect. We took a trip up for a family wedding and there was plenty of space for my 2 sisters in law, my niece, and my husband and I to relax and not be on top of each other. The peaceful atmosphere and lake view were very relaxing. We unfortunately weren’t able to do anything in the area or at the house other than lounge around, enjoy the lake views, and make breakfast but we’re contemplating planning another trip so we could take advantage.

Family Fun in Middletown CT

We stayed a couple of days while we visited our family in Portland and Middletown. The house was a short distance to everything; grocery store, restaurants; winery, brewery and to our cousins we were visiting. The house was perfect for us, we were all comfortable while we were relaxing and we were all able to get ready without being in each other's way (hard to do when you have four women in the same space). We had a great time.

Spacious home with great views of lake

We enjoyed our stay in this lakefront property. The house is large and is especially well-equipped for a group. There are 2 decks for entertaining and the kitchen has everything one could ask for, including kayaks for exploring the large lake. Rich, the property owner, was happy to help us with any problems and provided information on the dining, etc. in the town.

Comfortable house in scenic lake setting

Comfortable house for five adults and three small children, with big living area, well functioning kitchen, big sturdy dining table and island seating. Large TV and fireplace. Very appealing outdoor seating areas with lake views. It rained so we didn’t get to enjoy the outdoor spaces, but indoor space was fine for family time with baby, toddler and preschooler. Nice neighborhood, convenient stores and restaurants.

Perfect location with a beautiful view

My husband and I were home for a very special occasion at Saint Clements Castle and for the holidays and it was the perfect location. The home owner was fabulous to work with. He even decorated for the holiday so we would feel right at home. Rich was extremely responsive with every question/need. Even though it was winter, the it was worth staying on the lake for the views.

Great Stay!

Our family had a nice, quiet stay at Richard's lake house. The location was wonderful...a large, flat lawn, close access to sandy beach areas for boat launch and play for the kids, quiet neighbors. The house amenities were everything we could have needed for our stay. Communication with Richard was easy and thorough. The house, while in good condition, was not as clean as anticipated, though this did not significantly detract from the quality of our stay.

Beautiful lakefront home

Depite getting a flat on our way to our weekend away, needing to find a place the following day to get a new tires and the horrible rainy weather, we had a great time. It was my daughter's low-key bachelorette weekend. We brought lots of food and games with us but there were plenty of games there. The house is clean and homey. The owner kept in touch during our stay. Instructions for the fireplace was the only thing missing but we were fine without it. Im hoping to go back next summer or fall.

An Amazing Month on the Lake!

We could not have been happier at Rich's house on the lake. Rich was a wonderful host even before we arrived. He was able to change the beds around, so all four kids could have their own bed. During our stay, he checked in on a regular basis to make sure everything was going well. Everyone enjoyed the kayaks and canoe as well as the swimming area with floating dock! The location was fantastic with most things being a short drive with our favorite being the walking/biking trail. Overall we could not have asked for more. Thank you Rich!
