NEW Listing: LAKEFRONT Home w/ Dock, Theater Room, Firepit. Near Mystic, Casinos

Escape to our rustic lakefront home in Griswold, CT. Our home is on an oversized lot giving you plenty of privacy and space to enjoy the waterfront. Enjoy the beautiful views (the sunsets are particularly spectacular) from multiple outdoor seating areas, the dock, or the 2 firepits. There is also a balcony off of the large king size bedroom. This home rental includes the use of the kayak at no charge.

The house is direct waterfront on Ashland Lake, a ponded section of the Pachaug River in Griswold, CT. You can fish, swim, kayak, canoe, and more in the extremely picturesque waters right off the grassy backyard of our cottage home. Use our kayak or bring your own if you prefer - you can boat right from our personal dock in the backyard.

Although you will want to spend as much time as possible enjoying the water and the views we have gone the extra mile to make all aspects of our waterfront house feel like home.

Inside you will find a game room that is perfect for all ages and a home theater room with a large projector screen. The game room also includes a new bunk bed and a Pac-Man arcade game. The main floor of the lake house includes the living room with a tv and plenty of seating, fully stocked kitchen, full bathroom, a queen sized bedroom, and a king size bedroom which has it's own sitting area, desk, and balcony that overlooks the water. Pets are also welcome with a paid pet fee. 

Important: Sheets and towels ARE included with your stay. They are washed before and after every guest, feel free to use the laundry room during your stay as needed as well. We also provide a starter pack of paper towels, toilet paper, toiletries, cleaning products, soaps, detergent, sponges, k cups, nespresso pods, and tea!

Expecting more

From the photos in the listing and other reviews we we expecting much more. The outside of the property is not maintained well and severely impeded the use of the grounds as depicted in the listing.The inside of the property, especially the "theater room" needed attention as well.

Quiet Friends Winter Getaway

We had a cozy and fun girls weekend here. Close enough to Mystic and Niantic for some shopping and dining. Even on a cold winter weekend we had a nice time and had cozy comfy evenings in, enjoying the projector room. Would love to come back in warmer months for a different experience.

Amazing Trip - Wish We Have Stayed Longer

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful lake house! The views were stunning, and the house itself was clean, cozy, and well-equipped with everything we needed. We especially loved spending mornings on the deck with coffee and evenings by the water. It's the perfect spot for a relaxing getaway, and we can't wait to come back!

Nice escape in winter

It's a gorgeous property and would be amazing in warmer weather. It was mostly clean. One star loss as the downstairs while set up for children is not safe. The sticky corner padding kept coming off and the screws used for the level change stick out for easy cuts. Also in the colder weather it's freezing down then
