Historic 4 Bedroom Luxury Cabin with Private Waterfall & Lake Access

Originally a blacksmith shop built in 1800, this historic home has modern amenities. Enjoy birdwatching out the kitchen picture window or sit on the back porch overlooking your private waterfall. You are surrounded by a luscious garden that with twinkling lights that emerge at sundown for a resort like feel. Three bedrooms each have tvs and a den with a convertible full size futon. There are two dedicated work spaces for remote work and you can soak in the deep jacuzzi tub after a long day. A beautiful lake and miles of trails minutes away, and we provide fun floaties, 2 stand up paddle boards and 2 bikes to enjoy them with. 30 min from Mohegan sun, the beach, and different family activities. There is a Tesla charger available for your use in the driveway. In the winter, we are 1hr away from two ski resorts. With a welcome gift, coffee/tea, and basic shower amenities and bath salts provided, it feels like your own private bed and breakfast!

Not as pictured
Short Version - The property was poorly landscaped, we did not have views of the waterfall due to the overgrowth of vegetation. There were also at least 2 yellow jacket hives on the grounds. The firepit was inaccessible as it too was overgrown with trees and other plant life and a large sign stating the same due to the overgrowth which is a fire hazard. The deck in the back of the property was unsafe so viewing the waterfall which is also blocked by a garage was misleading. This was not told to us until after we arrived along with a second set of instructions. The fire table was available for use if you felt comfortable lighting it under the overgrown tree above it. The internet went out on our 4 day and I had to contact the host Wednesday and Thursday to put it back on. We had yellow jackets and hornets in the house even though no screens were open. The host was very responsive and the home was clean and fully stocked with towels, cleaning products, dish and cookware but the yard was hardly what was pictured on the website. Also, the "gym" was a set of adjustable weights located in the main bedroom of which was the most uncomfortable mattress myself and my man had the displeasure of sleeping on which is why we cut our vacation short by a day and left Saturday afternoon. I would not recommend staying here. Fridge is small, walkway to the backyard is unsafe and the yard is on a hill so walking proved tricky at best.

Relaxing Vacation
My family and I had a relaxing vacation in this cabin. We spent our days fishing and swimming in the lake as well as hiking in some of the nearby nature trails. At night, we enjoyed the outdoor fire table, watched movies, and played board games. My younger children loved having access to the gaming station. The property was pet friendly, and our dog enjoyed exploring the yard. The owners were very prompt about communicating with us. Overall, we had a wonderful vacation!

family wedding nearby
We had a great stay at this place. All the amenities we could want, really. It was so hot while we were there, and the A/C helped a lot. We were busy prepping for and helping to host (not at this house) our son's wedding nearby. This was a great location, near enough to run back and forth for when we forgot things for the wedding.

Very pleasant weekend.
Very nice spacious house, clean and ready when we arrived. Garden was a good size, and plenty of seating and parking space. Accomodated the seven of us very well. Only downside for a couple of us was the foam mattress’s on all of the beds, as we had not slept on them before and found them to be very uncomfortable. Nearby lake beach was good, grandkids loved it, and there was plenty of places around to walk the dogs. Also went to the Dinosaur Place in Montville which we found a little expensive but the grandkids loved it. Overall a very pleasant weekend!

Family weekend
Our family stayed at this property while enjoying family weekend at UConn. The home was a nice distance between campus and fun activities. The house was clean and well stocked with amenities. We missed having a hot tub as was the reason we chose this home, but the views in the backyard were beautiful. We had a wonderful stay. Thank you!

Birthday Celebration
Six adults stayed comfortably at the house for a long weekend. The house was a good size and comfortable, but the outside property was the main enjoyment. We enjoyed the table fire pit nightly, and hosted a 70th birthday party on the back patio. The back lawn provided lots of space for our grand dog to run and for the young to run and tire themselves out. The house had electrical outlets and charges everywhere to keep our many devices charged, and there were plenty of kitchen supplies for our group of six. The only thing we couldn’t find was a toaster, but the broiler worked fine as a substitute. On our day of arrival, I contacted Choy several times with questions. He always replied immediately.

Connecticut Wedding
The Raj’s are friendly hosts. Very responsive and not at all intrusive. The property’s description is accurate. The neighborhood and town felt very safe. New England small town so, need I say, quaint. We traveled between Hartford, North Haven, and Enfield shuttling traveling family to airport, train station, and wedding engagements… usually no more than 40 minute drive. We did not have the opportunity to spend very much time at the house but would have enjoyed doing so since the indoor and outdoor provisions are so relaxing and peaceful. Great lighting inside and outside. Eclectic. Nice mix of the original structure with the modern comforts. Thanks again Raj’s! Sean&Kelly and fam. Lawton Michigan

Stayed here with 6 relatives and a one and two year old. Had a large/sturdy dinning room table great for meals and games. Large TV for entertaining and comfy sofas. Lots of Alexa accessibility, but we also appreciated being able to control things ourself and mute Alexa when desired. Would be perfect for an adult get away weekend!
