Such a warm and inviting lake house. We enjoyed our time at this house. Best house that we’ve ever stayed at. The house was impeccably clean. We will be back!
This property was amazing. We come to Coventry often and this property has now become our favorite location. The owner is extremely helpful and caring. The kitchen is well stocked. The lake is beautiful. The property is picture worthy everywhere.
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home on Coventry Lake. The house was impeccable and everything was very well organized. The back patio is the golden jewel of this rental. Such a serene setting with an amazing view of the lake. The fire table and comfortable seating made it our favorite place to all gather. One other thing we loved was all the gorgeous plants that were located throughout the house.
This home was incredible. Extremely clean, comfortable beds and a very well stocked kitchen. The owner was very responsive. It was a great location for our two week vacation visiting family and friends.
We stayed for thanksgivings and the football game. The house is amazing and well stocked with everything we needed to cook thanksgiving dinner. The bedrooms are super comfy and the house amazingly decorated!!!
We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful lake house. Incredibly beautiful and clean house Tammy was communicative and helpful. Would definitely love to come back.
We sought and found a beautiful lake house to rent where we could relax and enjoy sunsets every evening. The indoor and outside decor was absolutely beautiful and enhanced the feeling of being at this charming lake house! Thank you for making our stay very comfortable and memorable!
This was by far one of the best experiences that I have had with vrbo. This house is amazing in itself with the views, location, eclectic style, chef's kitchen and all the amazing houseplants. Tammy exceeded my expectations with her attention to detail, the extras she provided, and her eagerness to help in any way. We will definitely be back!!
Excellent experience all around. Fantastic property which is kept in pristine condition. Would definitely consider going back again next year. The property manager went above and beyond to make our trip the bestseller it could be. It was a fantastic thanksgiving holiday weekend.
We were thrilled to find this beautiful location to film our video series about kitchen tips. The aesthetic of the kitchen, the space, location and accommodating owners all combined to make our production a great experience. We are grateful Tammy and Nelson made it possible for us to film in their kitchen with a crew of 8 and they couldn’t have been more helpful anytime we had a question. The indoor and outdoor spaces were immaculate and stunning all around and very comfortable!
This house is absolutely STUNNING! I rented this house for a girls weekend with my friends to relax and unwind after not seeing each other throughout the pandemic. This house was PERFECT!
The owner was very communicative and accommodating. She made sure that our stay was to our liking and really goes the extra mile with all of the amenities offered.
I will definitely be renting here again!
From the moment you enter the house, you can see the care and attention to every curated detail. We are a large family down for a wedding and never felt crowded in the house, as there was a place to relax for everyone. The homeowners made the stay seamless for us. Would highly recommend this property to anyone (except when we come to visit family in CT, as this will now be our go to property).
We really enjoyed our long weekend at this lovely lake house! The house is beautifully and comfortably furnished, with an amazing back patio and a spectacular view across the water. We enjoyed swimming, kayaking (NB: bring your own life vests), reading by the fire pit, and lounging on the dock--and the families of ducklings and goslings were an adorable bonus. We lucked into gorgeous weather for most of the weekend, but even the day it was misty and gray felt like a real vacation, thanks to the beautiful space and surroundings. Thanks for a wonderful getaway!
Seemless process, amazing attention to details and immaculate property. The owner/host was highly communicative and responsive and even mailed us some items we forgot at the property.
We had a wonderful and quiet time. Just what we were looking for. The cleanliness was superb and put our minds to ease in these
uneasy times.
Thank you for sharing your amazing property and for the superb hospitality.
My family came into town to celebrate the life of a close family member. Tammy's house was like medicine for our grieving hearts. The house is very comfortable and clean. The interior design is chic, happy, and relaxing. Tammy checked in with us in case we had any questions, she was readily available. Beds were comfortable, even for me with my bad back. I highly recommend this home. We couldn't have been any happier with how it all turned out.
The property is GORGEOUS - enthralled with the attention to detail and cleanliness of the home. We had a wonderful family gathering - a pre-wedding “meet the parents” lunch on Saturday. The kitchen and patio are perfect for hosting and mingling and we can’t ever forget that amazing view of the water. The home had everything we needed and more to spend time with family & to unwind and relax. The outdoor fire pit feature and gas fireplace added a romantic cozy touch. Can’t wait to book again.
Tammy, thank you for a wonderful stay! Your attention to detail is unmatched. We just loved the house and especially the back deck overlooking the lake. I'm a nut for lighting and yours was just perfect. It is obvious you are a designer...shows in all the details. The kitchen was amazing and had everything we could possibly want, and more. Just disappointed we didn't have time to use your kayaks!! Highly recommend this special house!!

About the host
Hosted by Tammy H
My Great Grandparents on both sides Moved to Coventry to raise their families. I lived here myself for many years as a youth. I enjoyed countless days on the lake fishing, swimming & ice skating, etc. I lived on the East coast and the West, only to return years later to this great town of Coventry so my family and I can now enjoy making memories at the Lake House.
Why they chose this property
I fell in love with this property the moment I saw it. Through many months of hard work It was finally ready to enjoy with friends & family. When my family is unable to be at my home to enjoy all its beauty, we've opened it up to share with you and yours, so you too can build memories that are lasting .
What makes this property unique
I take great pride in the cleanliness of this home. I am on site at the time of cleaning. Every bit of this home is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. Each Comforter is washed/ dried on the hottest setting for every guest, as well as decorative pillows & slip covered furniture. All sheets and towels are bleached. All the floors are washed (including outdoor covered patio tile) with disinfectant/hottest water. All knobs, remotes, inside dressers, table tops, wall switches, drawer pulls, railing, lamp switches, are also cleaned with antibacterial cleaner. Every kitchen cabinet and drawer is thoroughly inspected for cleanliness. My cleaning standards have always been the highest possible and will remain so. Rest assured, you can relax & enjoy every moment carefree!!!
