Lakefront Tranquility/Fishermans Delight

Enjoy a stay at our cozy, 2 bedroom cottage on West Hill Lake in New Hartford. Situated on the south shore, the view from the main level is magnificent. Spend a lazy afternoon in the shade of the upper deck, or make your way to the waterfront for some sun and a swim in one of Connecticuts most pristine lakes. West Hill is considered a trophy trout pond so if you are an angler you'll want to bring your gear. There is a canoe provided in case you want to venture out for a ride. Amenities include a gas grill, outdoor hot shower, smart TV with cable, and WIFI.
We are short drive to local golf courses, fishing on the Farmington river, hiking at local and state parks, restaurants, breweries, wineries, shopping and retail. There is also a local park within walking distance with basketball courts, walking trails and athletic fields.
We currently provide one private, outdoor hot shower, just outside the entrance.

Cozy Cabin
The cabin was simple, clean, and cozy. A great place to slow down, and enjoy a simpler lifestyle with a beautiful view of the lake. We hope to return during the summer when we can enjoy the lake fully.

Cabin getaway
The cabin was just what we needed to escape the hustle and bustle of work!! Just the right size to sit and relax by the water and enjoy an early morning or late evening canoe ride while the Eagle flew above us. Perfect spot for day hikes or day drinking at the wineries. Then enjoy a bonfire with a glass of wine and talk about all you did and what you want to do the next day!! Definitely recommend and will be back

Trip Down Memory Lane
I took my parents to the cottage as a 60th anniversary present. They met on the lake 65 years ago. We had a wonderful time time reminiscing about time spent on the lake. Eric was easy to reach and getting into the cottage was simple. Everything was clean and neat, and the kitchen was well stocked with pans, dishes, and other basic supplies. There were outdoor amenities, such as a fire pit and a canoe we did not get to use due to the weather. Would love to come back here again sometime.

Great waterfront location!
Cute vintage cottage right on the water with great views from the house/deck and fantastic large dock for hanging out and longer dock off to the side- perfect for looking for sunfish. There is a small ladder down to a sandy area (shallow where you get in- maybe 1.5 ft deep) in the water that was great fun for our young kids- they were exploring and splashing around all over! Easy entry if you want to go for a real swim too. The lake is crystal clear and clean. House itself is comfortable and the outdoor shower is actually a really cool feature.

The cottage was immaculate and had every convenience we could ask for. Situated right on the shore of West Hill Lake, my wife and I couldn't have chosen a more beautiful location to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary.. I'd stay there again in a heartbeat.

Cozy Spot on the Lake
Really comfortable place with a great lake front spot. Close to good restaurants and several towns. The outdoor shower was fine even in mid October...but we didn't get that it was the only one from the listing. It is cool and private...I personally love showering outside!

Return to northwest CT from Florida
We knew West Hill Pond from having lived in the area for years. We’ve referred to it as “Golden Pond” a reference to the Jane and Henry Fonda film. It’s a beautiful and quiet place. The cabin was exactly what this “ lake girl” wanted; Original enough, updated enough and entirely comfortable. Coming from the Florida heat and humidity I was determined to be outside. The porch was perfect because we did have some gentle rain. A true lake experience that looks back at what old cabins were and keeps that vibe going

Lake front views breathtaking.
We really enjoyed our stay. Accommodations are very basic which was fine with us as we wanted to be outside anyway. One thing to be aware of is that the only shower is an outside shower. We visited in October and thankfully hit a beautiful weekend for using the outdoor shower. Other than that, if you're looking for a quiet get away, good place.

Lovely
Very clean quaint cottage with a beautiful view of the lake. Be advised that you’ll need to bring all cooking things like salt, oil etc. And that the outdoor shower is the ONLY shower. (It is right near the front door) but if you know these things in advance you can plan for it. A truly relaxing long weekend

Great relaxing Cabin on the Pond!
Our family had a great long weekend at the cabin. Everything was just as advertised and clean and functional. We spent the days on the dock jumping in the pond for some swimming or else paddling around in the canoe. All in all a very relaxing stay. Thanks Eric for the hospitality!
