We just stayed at the Cottage on Ashford Lake this past Valentine's Weekend. It was a home away from home except with a lake! The lake was frozen but still so beautiful and you can watch people ice fishing!! I can't wait to go back in the warmer weather so I can see the lake in all it's tranquility! Was a very comfortable stay. Everything you need is right there! Both days drove to Foxwoods & Mohegan with no problems! Great vacation! I have recommended it to all of my friends already!

The Correll Cottage was all we could have hoped for.....and then some! We arrived on Friday evening and enjoyed a wonderful Columbus Day weekend. The fall foliage and lake were spectacular.

The Farmer's Market and Flea Markets were wonderful. We found ourselves grilling the fresh vegetables that we had bought each day. After dinner we enjoyed sitting by the fire admiring the stars. We anxiously await our next opportunity to catch up on a little R&R at Ashford Lake.

Great location close to all you want to visit on the East Coast. The lake is a nice get away and fishing was exceptional. House has all you need and in a nice quiet location.

We cam back to CT to be with our very ill mother. She was too ill to enjoy the
cabin with us, however, my sister and I enjoyed it very much. It is a great
cottage and was extremely clean. We were pleasantly surprised at how
wonderful it was here.

Thank you,

Cheryl and Sheila

What a lovely corner of CT! I have been looking for a place to retire and this
section of CT is now very high rated! Brady and I enjoyed many long hikes
through beautiful, historic countryside. Your comfortable cottage was a great
base to come home to each day. We enjoyed some terrific meals here. The
peace and quiet and lovely reflections on the water were salve to the soul.
Thank you for making this possible!

Our stay couldn't have been more perfect: the accommodations, the weather,
and the lake. We enjoyed antiquing, fishing, swimming in the lake, rowing
the boat across the lake, bonfires in the yard and gazing out at the stars
through the telescope on crystal clear nights. Ginger and Gus especially want
to thank you for allowing them to vacation here. Ginger absolutely loved
jumping off the dock into the water and Gus, a one-year-old, had a major
breakthrough this week when he made it all the up the back stairs un-aided.
We created many fantastic memories this week, and we can't wait to schedule
our future family vacations here.

Thank you again,

Christine, Tom, Hillary and Ginger & Gus (the corgis)

We had a wonderful vacation at the cottage. The lake view is pretty, the
sunrise beautiful, breakfast on the deck, picnic with the family, walking the
cats in the yard on their leashes, rowing on the lake. We look forward to
returning next year. P.S. the beautiful wildflowers and having the a/c on and
fresh ice were thoughtful. We hope to return for 2 weeks next year.

We have had a wonderful time here - despite the days of 90 degrees! The
lake has been an especial joy - we've photographed it, drawn it, walked it at
all times of the day. This has also been an excellent base for exploring this
corner of New England, particularly the architecture & arts. A trip to East
Haddam Opera House to see "The Boyfriend" was also well worth the effort!
Thank you for a very convenient and comfortable home from home.

We have been searching a long time for a place like this! Perfect. The a/c
saved us all with the early season heat wave. Our newfie swimmer was in
seventh heaven. He thanks you much for allowing him to join us. Fishing
was great, 15 1/2" bass!!

Thanks from The Allens

We enjoyed our stay at the cottage on Ashford Lake. We have done the vacation rental thing at many properties in many States and it was obvious that these owners really care about their guests' comfort and enjoyment during their stay.

Soon the calendar will be full with returning guests only.

We had a wonderful week at the lake. We got to swim and fish almost every
day. Our 5 year old caught all of the bass - one was about 15"!! A trip to
Providence, RI & the Gillette castle filled the "not so nice" days. There is so
much more to see but not enough time on this trip. Your cottage is beautiful
and we hope to return. Thank you!

getaway with a great view. Suggestions: We Li Kit ice
cream shop, lying out on the grass with a towel on a
sunny day, stargazing - the sky's nice, clear, and starry.
