The kitchen was amazing and well laid out. House was very clean and spacious. One downside of rental is no bathroom on main floor but they were clean and well stocked. I brought a folding cart with me that made it easier to unload car since parking is above the house. The path to the house was paved and was handicap accessible.(made things much easier). I would recommend the place to friends and family .

This property was very new and clean. It had everything you needed. Every room was comfortable and had its own TV. The open layout of the main floor made for great socializing and eating, and the 180 views of the frozen lake (in February) were beautifully serene. Would definitely come again and maybe next time in the summer! Thanks you for sharing this lovely property.

Beautiful lakefront cottage getaway

We stayed in this cottage over a long weekend in August and it was exactly what we had hoped for - clean, spacious, and full of lakefront beauty (and activities). Communication with the management co was easy and relatively quick…we’d definitely rebook this cottage! Only bummer was that we had one wildlife visitor we hadn’t expected appear in one of the downstairs bedrooms but otherwise we all had a great time.

Serene location on small lake for a reunion weekend

Newtown is a special New England village that was founded in 1705. This 3-bedroom house on a small lake was perfect for 6 of us to relax in between family activities around the area. Best for folks who can handle steps. Gorgeous main, open living space takes up entire main floor where we played games, watched tv, cooked, ate and read. Recommended.
