“Monica went above and beyond to make sure my surprise visit my husband was perfect. it was a perfect getaway from all the hustle and bustle of everyday life as soon as you pull in is the cutest little cottage you’ve ever seen right on the lake there was a snowstorm when we came in and Monica even went above and beyond and made sure we had firewood for the fire pit because the crazy Southerners that we are wanted to sit by the fire pit in the snow. She even left some homemade strawberry jam which was amazing. I’ve never stayed in Airbnb Monica made me feel right at home and answered any question I had even making sure we are safe during the snowstorm she’s an amazing person and her home is beautiful an warm and cozy”.

“I spent a lovely weekend at Monica’s lovely place with two friends. Monica is a great host, very responsive and super kind. The cottage is very comfortable, beautiful and clean. Although we could not get close to the lakeside because of the snow, we can still enjoy the beautiful view of the lake from inside the cottage and on the drive. The neighborhood is quiet and beautiful. Monica’s cottage is a wonderful place for a vacation. I will definitely come back and recommend it strongly”.

“Excellent spot. Monica was very responsive. The location is perfect for a quiet getaway with direct access to the lake in from the backyard. Was plenty of space for the whole family (2 adults, 2 kids, and an infant)”.

“We enjoyed this quiet nook in eastern Connecticut! Very quiet, looking out on a placid lake. Way too rainy and cold on this February trip to take to the water in the canoe … maybe next time! Cute little cabin with everything you need. Really nice to have some waters in the fridge, and coffee/filters for the morning. Thank you! Comfy sofa’s and everything we needed to relax for a couple of days”.

“This place was a perfect for a getaway with my family. It is in a quiet neighborhood which helps to relax. There are all the amenities available and prepped food in the freezer for extra charge. There is an amazing view of the lake from the kitchen and living room. During our stay we saw people ice skate and ice fish on the frozen lake. It snowed as well which made everything more beautiful. Monica was friendly, nice and easy to communicate with and came over to introduce herself. Look forward to staying here again soon”.

“We had a really lovely one-night stay for New Years – a great secluded spot out on a lake with an awesome view. Monica was a pleasure to speak with – she was nothing but helpful and incredibly sweet. Highly recommended”.

Meghan

“Monica’s place is exactly what she described and then some. If you’re looking for a nice, somewhat rural place to spend a long weekend you can’t do better than this. There’s hiking nearby, the view of the lake is unbelievable, and Monica does everything she can to make your stay great. I went during the winter and am already planning to go back when it’s warmer”.

Austin

“I cannot overstate the beauty of this quaint cottage and the access to the lake behind the property. When my colleague and I arrived, it took our breath away. As one who loves to cook, the kitchen was perfect, the bed was comfortable and the bathroom was quite clean and modern. The enclosed porch was a delight to sit, sip some wine, enjoy the ripples on the water and shoot the breeze. Monica has a sunny disposition and is willing to address any issue you may encounter in a prompt and hospitable manner. I am so pleased that minutes after returning home, I am already planning my return trip”.
