Such a great stay!
My family and I had such a great time at your beautiful lake house. The children loved the kayaks, fishing and swimming in the lake (we all did). The house is impeccably clean, well stocked and very comfortable. We couldn't have asked for more. We definitely want to come back again.

Boating vacation
Another great time at this house. We dodged a few storms and made the best of the Lakes high water table due to the storms that produced a lot of rainfall. Some noticeable changes inside/outside that looked great. For a hot week with a miserably high dew point the house was very cool and comfortable. Already looking forward to next year :)

A Great Place for a Family Gathering
This was the second time I rented this property for the purpose of having my children know who their relatives are. It was a short stay for us this time, however, many family members were able to attend and to enjoy good food and the view from the lovely wrap around deck!

Celebration of Life
We came for a quick visit for a Celebration of life. Our children loved the lake. Saw Geese and Goslings, Ducks and Ducklings, a fox and 2 bears (bears at a property down the road). Had s’mores by the fire. Really enjoyed the property. Such a wonderful time. Next time we will come back in warmer weather when we can swim.

Beautiful home on the lake
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home on Bantam Lake. The house was clean, the beds were incredibly comfortable, and the kitchen was fully stocked with nice appliances and cookware. The view of the lake was amazing, whether sitting on the deck or inside. Having access to a number of kayaks was a huge plus. Would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful Lake Experience
Everything was as listed and the house had all we needed to enjoy our stay comfortably. The kayaks were a big hit and our first fishing experience was so much fun. Easy access to ice cream and restaurants. The owner was very responsive and friendly. Looking forward to booking again next year!

A wonderful getaway
A beautiful house on a quiet little bay with an exquisite wrap around deck facing the water. Homeowners went ‘Above and Beyond’ in facilitating any need or question we had. Already looking forward to next year’s star.😀👍

Great family vacation
We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 days filled with swimming and kayaking, eating meals and reading on the covered porch, and playing games. The sandy bottom at the end of the dock where the water was just waist-high was perfect for those in our group still learning to swim. The cove was quiet and is a "no wake" area for boaters. The lily pads near the shore didn't bother us. Priscilla was very responsive and helpful. Our only complaint was the inability to control the thermostat on the air conditioners or open windows, but Priscilla came by and made an adjustment for us. A highlight for us was a one-hour boat charter with CT Watersports. We cooked all our meals and found the kitchen and outdoor grill to be excellent for that. All-in-all a great place for our group.
