I’ve been looking at this listing for years. My husband and I finally made it up there and it was just wonderful. The pictures are accurate. The place was spotless. The beds were so comfortable. And the lake was gorgeous. It had everything we could possibly need and then some. I got a kick out of seeing everything labeled, but it was actually really helpful. The cottage is rustic, but well kept. If you’re looking for fancy and luxurious, this place is not for you. But it’s very comfortable in so many respects. And definitely pay the extra for the hot tub. Lying in it and staring at the stars was my favorite part of the day. Soooo relaxing. The cottage is about 15 minutes to Mystic. At first it seemed like a long ride, but as we kept doing it it became easier. Such a pretty ride. I laughed when I realized we ate all our meals on the water. Delicious food. If you like fried scallops you need to go to the Breakwater in Stonington, which is just a short hop from Mystic. The scallops—-O.M.G. I’ve been around a long time and have had many a scallop, but these were incredible. I’ll dream about them. If you’re looking for a really good breakfast place go to Somewhere In Time which is about a 5 minute drive. My husband went there every morning. Delicious and reasonable. Overall, this was just a terrific getaway. I just wish we could have stayed longer. PS. We fished off the dock everyday with no luck I’d love a small rowboat so we could go out deeper. We’ll be back!
