Family Friendly Lake House: Lake Pocotopaug, Fire-pit, Kayaks, Canoe. Sunsets.

Enjoy every season in this newly renovated cozy retreat on the water! Located on Lake Pocotopaug in East Hampton, Connecticut, with breathtaking views and sunsets, this beautiful cottage provides a peaceful and serene setting that offers an unforgettable experience for anyone visiting. The three-bedroom, two-bathroom cottage is full of character and charm and features cozy indoor and outdoor living spaces for guests to enjoy. This lovely property is brand new to the rental market in 2023. All four seasons are perfect in this charming direct waterfront home on Lake Pocotopaug! Enjoy beautiful views from inside and outside this 1,430 square foot home. The upper level has a small work area in the main living room with more views, hardwood floors, and a propane fireplace. Enjoy comfy seating in front of the large-screen TV, cozy up in front of the fire, or do a family puzzle at the game table. A stylish barn door leads to 2 additional bedrooms, one king and one queen, with lake views. A remodeled, updated bathroom rounds out the upstairs. The lower level features an updated kitchen with maple cabinets and new stainless appliances. Enjoy breakfast at the kitchen counter or dine in the dining room overlooking the lake. In the back a bedroom with two twin beds (can be combined for a king). Nearby a separate laundry room and a renovated bathroom with spa tub. Outside, guests can enjoy the lakefront decks, with spectacular views. Upstairs the outdoor seating and beautiful views makes the 2nd story deck a perfect place to enjoy your days. The lower decks, sculpted with bluestone and set with cozy furniture and lawn swings, define the cozy coastal vibe. An outdoor wicker dining set lets you eat while you enjoy the sunset. A gorgeous undersea scape and mermaid mural enchants and amazes you in the entry. During warm season enjoy taking a kayak to explore the lake right off the private dock. The private dock is in place May-September and is perfect for sunbathing, swimming and fishing. Play corn hole on the grass in the backyard or enjoy a campfire around the fire-pit and roast s'mores (wood and s’mores provided). With its peaceful setting, stunning views, and all the amenities you could want in a cottage, this lakefront retreat in this quiet neighborhood, is the perfect place to stop and enjoy the view. For more lakefront memories, this home belongs to the Princess Pocotopaug community, which shares two lakefront beaches down the street, with walk in beach front, floating raft and picnic tables. Association beaches are not dog friendly. Private dock and raft for the community beaches and our home are put in the water in the warm season May-September. Water-crafts are available for use from our private dock during this time. Kayaks can also be launched at the small private beaches on Wangonk and South Wangonk. If you wish to bring your own watercraft during your stay, racks can be made available for storage. With all the amenities of a larger home, this cottage on the lake is the perfect place to make memories that will last a lifetime. You can sit back and enjoy quiet sunsets every evening, and you won't want to leave! So whether you're looking for a peaceful getaway from the hustle and bustle of everyday life or a romantic escape with your special someone, this is the perfect spot.

Amazing getaway at the lake
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!

Xmas in July
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

Great Lakeside Home
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.

Perfect and relaxing retreat on the Lake - Absolutely Beautiful
This was a well equipped gem overlooking the lake. My family of four adults rented this for two nights in order to attend a wedding. The whole place was elegantly decorated and very comfortable. The kitchen had everything you could want - coffee bar, expresso machine, sparkling wine in the fridge,, and even a station for creating S'mores - yum! The views of the lake were outstanding. We've rented many VRBO's and this was probably the best yet. We will definitely be coming back. Beautiful place.

Best VRBO ever!
I had the pleasure of staying at Kris' property with 5 other friends for an annual girls' trip. From the moment we stepped into this sparkly clean and perfectly decorated home - we were enthralled. This host provides absolutely everything you could ever need - countless fluffy white bath towels, tons of dishware and glassware, multiple blankets, a coffee station that we will talk about for years to come, soaps, toiletry products, super comfy beds.....you name it - she had it. The only downside was that we had to leave! The house was so nice, I almost forget to mention that the views are breathtaking. The large table was perfect for dining and playing games. The hot water was abundant, the kitchen was perfectly stocked...I could go on and on. We had a best time and so will you. I've stayed at many rental properties but this one tops them all. If you have the opportunity to rent this property - do it! I can only imagine how amazing it would be when the weather is warmer. My friends are already talking about returning again. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home and for being an amazing host.

Outstanding experience from booking to checkout!
This was a multigenerational trip with my kids and grandchildren booked for location near extended family and we all feel the entire experience exceeded all expectations! The property itself is lovely, modern, fully stocked with essentials (towels, napkins, dishes, pots pans, coffee makers, air fryer and s’mores kit plus games wi-fi, tv, books, etc.,etc.,etc. for all ages!) and located in an idyllic setting. Every bed and seating option was very comfortable and cozy. We all loved it and are hoping to return soon. The owners promptly responded to every question and request. Truly a lovely experience for all of us.

Wonderful Lake House
We had a wonderful 5 night stay at this house. It was clean and beautifully updated. It was perfectly comfortable for our family of 5. It had every single thing we could possibly need from s’mores ingredients to hot cocoa to kayaks to life vests in all sizes. There are a few grocery stores about 5 minutes away and a Dollar General within walking distance. The private beach is 4 houses down, and usually we were the only ones there. We plan to be back as we have family 20 minutes away. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Complete Oasis
This property is the perfect summer getaway. It has so many activities available such as kayaking, canoeing, paddle boarding or if you just wanna chill and enjoy the lake view. The lounge areas in the house and outside are perfect for reading, hanging out with friends and family or playing games and putting a puzzle together. We even enjoyed evenings at the fire pit roasting s’mores. We felt so relaxed here and love the property. The property manager is super responsive and attentive to every detail. Highly recommend!!!

A gem in East Hampton, CT
Delightful lake house with great water view, very tastefully decorated in and out. Two beaches very close by and water gear provided. Great lake for fishing, boating and swimming. Lots of outside furniture on several levels with a great Weber grill for cookouts. Our stay there was very pleasant for our group of two adults and two teenage grandkids. We hope to return there in the future and would highly recommend this home.

The amazing Lake house
Wow! This was by far one of the best VRBO’s I’ve ever stayed at! The house was beautiful, very clean, and had great amenities. The outdoor area was amazing right on the lake! Fire pit was perfect to relax at and watch the sunset. Kris the host was great, she suggested many local eateries and other activities in the area. If I could rate higher than 5 stars I would. Can’t wait to head back to the Lake House!

Great stay on the lake
Loved our stay at this bucolic lake house! My friends and I were visiting for our college reunion nearby, and this lake house was the perfect home base. The lake & kayak/paddle board situation was perfect for those of us who wanted a chill adventure. The house & its amenities were comfortable & offered great relaxation. And the kitchen & coffee area was well stocked. The fire pit was a perfect way to end our evenings just chilling and enjoying the serenity of the lake at night. I’d love to stay there again next time I’m in CT!

This home was everything and more! The owners have thought of every detail. It was cozy, impeccably clean and the little touches went a long way! This was a last minute rental for a family funeral. I was trying to make reservations and ask questions while coordinating with other family. The owners were very patient with me and my back and forth! Sadly, it rained all weekend and we didn't get to take full advantage of the water and yard! We have already discussed coming back to stay when the weather is better and we have a happier reason to visit! Thank you!

This was a great location to relax with a view! Although we didn’t have great weather, the house was perfect and we can see the lake from many areas inside! The details in regards to the amenities were impeccable. Loved the bathtub downstairs along with the ability to play spa music on the Alexa which made for a very relaxing bath. Looking forward to coming back in the summer to enjoy the outside amenities. Definitely recommend this location.
