Sun Filled Lake House Living

Enjoy life in a lake cottage while maintaining short commutes and everyday conveniences at this centrally-located lake house in a quiet, mid century old-time lake community convenient to absolutely everything.

This is an early 1900s guesthouse in a lake community originally built for weekend retreats from the “big cities” of Hartford and Torrington. Secret Lake was a community of weekend and summer retreats not far from traditional work places used by families in the early mid 1900’s as their get-away havens without complicated travel to far way lands. The home had a fairly low ceiling with a loft above which I raised upon purchasing. Other than that, the architecture is original. Come enjoy how life used to be in classic mid century American times.

It’s all yours.

I can be reached by phone or text 24/7. Cell phone provided upon booking.

In 2005 Money Magazine rated Avon third safest town in America.

This home is centrally located, situated under a 30 minute drive to the UCONN Health Center, Hospital of Central Connecticut, Hartford Hospital, and St. Francis hospital in Hartford. Also just a 35 minute commute will bring you to Charlotte Hungerford Hospital in Torrington!
✅ This property has special local compliance requirements which include a signed rental agreement, ID verification, and a security hold of $1000 (which is not a traditional security deposit, just a pending transaction). As an optional alternative to the security hold, you may opt in to purchase a non-refundable damage waiver provided by a third-party insurance company. The optional damage waiver is $50 for stays up to 10 nights, with an additional $2 per day for stays longer than 10 nights. Damage waiver purchases are optional.

To make this process easy for you, we use a secure and very simple, app-free platform called Happy Guest. It is not an app, and you do not have to sign up for an account - it’s a safe and secure website. It also gives you a guest portal with all the info about the home and all of my favorite local spots.

If you have any questions, just message us anytime! Happy to help!

Where do I begin--- 1) upon checking in Friday a maintenance guy was parked in the driveway so I had to contact the owner where to park since the property is on a very narrow road and there is no available street parking, 2) maintenance guy was on the property for almost 2 hours to get heat and hot water working, 3) I was instructed to turn up the heat to heat up the water (that didn't work, couldn't take comfortable warm showers at bedtime after a long travel day), 3) left early in the morning to attend an event for several hours and upon returning to the property late-afternoon a maintenance crew was on the property powerwashing with a loud generator next to the house (not relaxing after a long day) AND still no hot water! 4) the kitchen sink backed up because the garbage disposal wasn't emptied prior to our stay, 5) the bathroom door is bi-fold style so privacy is somewhat limited. We ended up leaving 8am Sunday. Although the property owner (Lisa) was very pleasant in person and on the phone and tried to make up for the inconveniences, it was a very disappointing stay, definitely not worth the amount we paid. If you decide to book this property, ask A LOT of questions before confirming your plans... make sure all maintenance is done and everything works on the property WAY BEFORE arriving. I probably would've appreciated a week's notice that the property was not ready for renting and receive a FULL refund instead of dealing with so much in a 36-hour timeframe.
