Peaceful Fall getaway
Visiting from NC for family wedding. This was the perfect spot for us, on tranquil, beautiful Wincheck Pond. The pine paneled 2-story house is well appointed, clean and comfortable.
Yes, it has its own sandy beach, with propane fire pit, 2 canoes, 2 kayaks, and paddleboards. The owner was kindly attentive in assuring we had all we needed. Henry David Thoreau would've appreciated the quiet, natural setting, with wildlife and foliage galore. Two amazing hiking trails were only 1/2 mile away. It was a quiet and relaxing stay.

A Hidden Gem!
This charming house is set on the most gorgeous lake; every window offers water views. It's so lovely and serene that you never want to leave (even for one of the fantastic local hikes.) Check in/out was easy and the owners are friendly and accessible. The home is very comfortable, cozy and well-supplied. My favorite-ever vacation rental!

Amazing little retreat
Perfect home and setting for us to get away for a weekend! The pictures are exactly what you get but it’s so much more to just be there and enjoy. Loved taking a paddle board and canoe ride around the lake. Loved sitting in the little nook inside that overlooked the lake. Trail very close by and also a great adventure!

Timeless Oasis
Looking to relax and recharge? Look no further, as this is a MUST stay. Bill and Allison were wonderful hosts and the property is exactly as listed. The charm and character of the property is only outdone by its location. You are close enough to enjoy Mohegan Sun and Mystic or far enough away to feel like time stops as you recharge yourself. An absolute must stay for those looking just to relax.

Beautiful Place to Stay
This was our second year staying at the Lake House. It is a lovely property, nicely maintained with new amenities. The AC was needed and appreciated. Wincheck Pond was refreshing and fun for boarding, boating and swimming. Local hikes and cycling to Ell Pond, Patchaug State Forest, etc. is a highlight of staying here. We hope to stay here again soon!

Great spot on the pond!
This was the perfect spot for a relaxing vacation. So private and quiet. Plenty of watercrafts, the sandy beach was amazing, propane firepit on the beach was a plus, plenty of outdoor chairs. The house was clean and had everything we needed. It was easy to communicate with Bill. Fireworks on 4th of July were a bonus! We'd love to return!

EXACTLY as described!
The house is pictured accurately and the description is just what you get - a perfectly clean, beautiful house where everything works as it should and a private beach in paradise.
The beds were good, bedding comfortable. The house had anything you wanted to make a meal. The grill had been cleaned and had plenty of propane. You just have to bring your clothes and start enjoying yourself.
We are a couple in our seventies traveling with a daughter and son-in-law and our 3 year old granddaughter, who turned 4 a couple of days after we left the cottage. We were all delighted with the cottage, the watercraft, the quality of the outdoor furniture and the attention to detail.
The lake was perfect for a child, as it is shallow for the first 10 feet or so.
Before we left our daughter asked if she could have Allison's contact information. She loved the house and appreciated its cleanliness so much she wanted to send her a thank you note. I told her I'd have a chance to leave a review and would pass on her praise.
We've rented over 100 properties on VRBO and similar over the past 15 years. This house was in our top 10%. You will not be disappointed.
Thank you for a really great week at your magical property,
Allison!

Lake House
Perfect location, beautiful view. We went with our 1 & 2 year olds, so a private beach was perfect. Had everything we needed, some things in the house itself could use updating/replacement, but did not take away from the vacation - the lake is the main attraction.

Paradise
Perfect place to leave the world behind, to sit, to play, to dream. The water, surrounded by pines, is a touch of Maine. Herons, ducks, and tiny turtles swimming at the shoreline - nature abounds in the silence. Short walk to hiking trails, short drive to local restaurants - great one in Wyoming is called Wood River Bar & Grill. Sunday is karaoke night - the locals are a hoot! And talented! Highly recommend this cottage for the dreamer or the outdoorsman. Hosts are communicative, kind and helpful. This place cannot disappoint.

Perfect Autumn New England Getaway
I wanted my friends from work to experience Rhode Island how I, a native, knows it…outside of Providence or Newport which is where any of them have been. I told them there are parts of Rhode island that you’d think you were in Vermont or Upstate NY. Well this lake house is exactly what I wanted them to experience. The perfect New England getaway in the Fall Time. The reflection of the foliage was just starting and gave us a tease of what was to come over the next couple of weeks. The hustle and bustle of summer was over and we seemed to be the only people on the pond, although it is in such a peaceful location and the fact that there’s no motorboats on the pond, I’m sure there’s never much of a “hustle and bustle.” The house was clean and had a cabin vibe inside. It was perfect for “spooky season” but I would love to come back during the summer as well!

Great little pond
This was our second year staying at Wincheck Pond and it was just as great as the last. Our boys, ages 16 and 13, loved playing cornhole on the lawn and swimming off the beautiful beach. While there are a few other houses on the pond, most days we felt like the only ones around.

Tranquil family getaway
Our family was needing and looking forward to a fun, private, peaceful vacation. This place delivered and more! Situated on a private lake with a private sandy beach-like front with lots of water toys, this house had what we needed. Our boys, ages 9 and 11, loved fishing right off the dock and love to tell everyone they caught 100 fish (over our two week stay). My husband and I enjoyed drinking coffee and relaxing on the comfortable chairs right by the large windows overlooking the lake. The house is small but cozy and had all we needed. My parents came up for a few days and we were comfortable as a party of six. The water was clear around the beach, enough to see the bottom in depths over 5 feet. This was great for seeing the small fish swim around. Our boys loved viewing them with goggles as there were plenty of them and they were not shy. Mr. and Mrs. Huggins were excellent hosts, replying to every question quickly and ensuring we had all we needed and wanted. We enjoyed our stay so much that we will definitely be doing another trip to this quiet retreat.

Great Location
The location of this lake house is beautiful. A spectacular view of the lake from inside the house. The lake is peaceful and quiet. Our 7 year old grandson was excited and proud to catch his first fish in the lake, and went on to catch many more. He and his younger brother had a great time playing on the beach. The paddle board, kayaks and canoes were a big hit with the family, and got a lot of use. Bill was very responsive to any questions we had. We hope to come back again some day.

Quietest spot, with all the amenities for canoeing, swimming, fishing, relaxing - and even a small sandy beach. Being ocean lovers, we were resistant to a lakeside getaway in the middle of nowhere - but one short visit and I'm sold. Look forward to many returns!
