Classic New England charm with classic New England hospitality...!

Just a one night stay to see our daughter perform at the UConn Dance Company spring showcase. Perfectly appointed 3 bedroom cottage in a quiet lakeside neighborhood. Joseph made sure we had everything we needed. Only a few miles from campus and a great alternative to the Graduate at a comparable price. Will be back for sure...!

I had some concerns prior to my arrival and Joe was amazing, addressing them immediately. The property is very nice, neighborhood is great, lake was beautiful. Cottage had everything we needed, kitchen was fully stocked with dishes and utensils - even provided paper plates and plastic utensils if you don’t want to do dishes. Sufficient pots, pans and cooking tools, even included BBQ tools. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit, was able to rest and relax as desired.
