Summary: Many family members enjoyed several days of kayaking, while my relaxation was reading lakeside. The 4th of July was a delight, beyond all expectation, with lengthy displays both up into the sky and reflecting on the water, from many nearby properties. We have been renting vacation homes for over 25 years, and this was the most stocked with everything a family could need. What a treasure for a lakeside vacation.

Summary: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage at Markham Bay on Lake Pocotopaug! Kris, our host, was responsive and truly amazing! The house, property and location scream "RELAX" to all who enter. Tons of amenities, supplies and entertainment inside this lovely home. Outside, you'll find a beautiful sea themed mural depicting a local legend. Stroll along the walkways adorned with precious garden areas and whimsical decorations to the terraced sitting areas with Adirondacks, firepit or dockside seating and unwind by the water's edge. Absolute retreat feel to this gorgeous outdoor space. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need and more. Coffee and drink bars are exceptional! The spa style bathrooms have all the necessities and a large soaking tub that invites some serious tubby time. Bedrooms are spacious with comfortable beds and plenty of storage and extra blankets. Very peaceful and quiet setting to relax and unwind. The location was perfect for our weekend. Minutes from dining, stores and Dondero Orchard. Highly recommend this property! Thank you Kris! We will definitely be back!

Gregg M. Dec 2, 2024 11:20:08 PM
Summary: The cleanest house I’ve ever been in. They thought of everything — coffee station, condiments, plenty of dishes and utensils, large grill, firepit. All around a really great space. This would be my first pick to stay again next time I visit.

Summary: Absolutely everything about this house was beautiful and perfect for our needs. We came to celebrate our mother’s 100th birthday and your amazing home made the week even more special. Thank you! We WILL return!
Kimberly W. Oct 2, 2024 08:51:25 PM
Summary: My family and I loved our stay at the lake house. This was our first time visiting CT, and we definitely enjoyed it. The decorations really made us feel welcome in and out of the house. There was a lot of comfortable seating inside and outside. We loved all the extra amenities like coffee and snacks and we used the grill. Everything was labeled which made it so easy for us to stay there. The lake was quiet and lovely for September. I had some VRBO communication with Kris before and after the trip. Every response was helpful, kind, and quick. Thank you for letting us stay at your home!
Deborah W. Jul 30, 2024 02:34:17 AM
Summary: Last Christmas, I decided instead of gifts, I wanted a weekend away with my husband, grown children and their mates instead. I found this house and we spent a weekend in July. We wished we could live there. The only disappointment is that it was only a weekend. We will definitely be back for a longer stay . Attention
Amy K. May 29, 2024 04:00:42 AM
Summary: This is a beautiful house on a lovely lake. It made a wonderful home base for our long weekend while we were in the area for our son's college graduation. Kris and Alan are fabulous hosts and they were readily available when a couple of questions popped up. There were so many amenities included in the house plus loads of extras like the makings for s'mores. Everything was labeled, so it was easy to feel at home. The lake is gorgeous, and there are kayaks and a canoe that guests can use, as well as access to a nearby beach. There are plenty of delicious restaurants around, all within a ten minute drive. We would definitely stay at this wonderful property again.
