About the host

Hosted by Anne & Ed Bowen

Host profile image
Anne has been coming to Lake Waramaug every summer since elementary school. The Lake House has been a labor of love and family gathering spot for almost 40 years. Anne and Ed have been married since 1994, and have been coming to the lake every summer. As their family grew, each of their three children learned to swim in the lake.

When the house was originally purchased it lacked a fresh water well, heat, or any of the luxuries of home. In this camp atmosphere, many campfires were enjoyed, too many s’mores were eaten, and many afternoons were spent sunning and swimming in Lake Waramaug. Anne and Ed have kept the family tradition going by extensively renovating the house in 2017. Many of the rooms were stripped down to studs, the house was expanded, and all of the infrastructure was modernized. We hope you enjoy the lovely lake views and the wonderful outdoor opportunities that the area has to offer.

Why they chose this property

The Lake House sits on highly desired waterfront, with a dock in place during the warmer months and a front porch with beautiful lake views built for cocktails and dinner as the sun sets. Across the lake you’ll routinely see people kayaking, and occasionally hear the distant music from the vineyard. It’s become common to see bald eagles soaring above the lake, as well as many types of ducks, geese, and other types of birds. There are many small boutiques in New Preston, Washington, and towards Litchfield if you are interested in exploring, and a number of state parks and hikes in the area. For many, there is plenty to do without leaving the lake including swimming, kayaking, fishing, or just curling up with a good book.
