About this property
Go Jump in the Lake!
NEWLY RENOVATED FOR THE 2023 SEASON! Our lake house is situated on 1.5 acres just 250 steps to the Cove Road boat launch on beautiful Amston Lake. The lake is a pristine 188-acre retreat located in Lebanon and Hebron, CT. Swimming, kayaking, canoeing, paddle boarding, fishing, and sunbathing are all activities you can enjoy. There are no motor boats allowed, so you can enjoy all of those activities in a peaceful environment. Two beaches are located 1/2 or 1 mile away from the cottage with ample parking at both should you choose to drive.
The house is 850 square feet of pure cottage enjoyment. There are two bedrooms with a queen-sized bed in one on the first floor, and a full and twin in the other upstairs. A sixth person could sleep on the sofa. There is one bathroom with a shower and a washer and dryer. There is a full kitchen and a gas grill for cooking. There is one HD Smart television with wifi. Our cottage is a nice mix of high end and rustic finishes, and it is clean and comfortable. It's a cottage, and it feels like a cottage with a bit of style, especially when you are sitting on the porch swing, enjoying a cold beverage, and reflecting on the day. Or sitting around the fire pit with friends and family, while sharing stories and roasting marshmallows. It feels like you are in the middle of the woods. We have a canoe and two kayaks for you to use, a few beach chairs, and some lawn games. Lebanon is a beautiful, rural community with several operating farms. Amston Lake is on the edge of the Airline Trail where you can enjoy hiking and biking for miles. The Connecticut casinos are about 30 minutes away. Outlet shopping is located at Foxwoods Casino or in Clinton and Westbrook. The CT and RI shore are 40-60 minutes away. New York and Boston are about 90 minutes away. We are close to so much, and yet you will feel like you are far away from it all. We hope you enjoy your stay!

About the host
Hosted by Todd LaMontagne
I am a resident of Hebron, so I am nearby if you need any assistance. I am a high school librarian, and I enjoy spending most of my summer out of doors at the lake. I grew up locally in East Hampton, but have had the opportunity to travel far and wide (4 continents and 27 countries). I lived in two other regions of the country. I attended school in Virginia and stayed in the Fredericksburg, VA area for 15 years, and I also spent three years in Minneapolis. I'm happy to call New England home right now.
Why they chose this property
I really enjoy lake living. I also enjoy a private, wooded lot. This house offered both of those things.
What makes this property unique
Dirt roads for walking and a beautiful lake for paddling. I hope you find this cottage as peaceful and inviting as I do.
