Wonderful stay!!
We booked this for my son’s UConn graduation.My family of 4 stayed and it was perfect!! The Bungalow is clean and meticulously decorated! We felt so at home and it had everything we needed. All the nice touches like water and complimentary bag were very generous. I would definitely recommend to all!

Thanks Tarra! I'm so thrilled that you felt at home. That's exactly what I want the guests to feel. The house is stocked with all the essentials you would expect to find in your own home. It's important because I want you to walk in, take a deep breath and de-stress. I hope for your return!

Thanks Angie! It was a pleasure hosting you during your tour of UCONN. We are only 3.5 miles to the campus. It's a great place for parents to spend some quality time with their college students. I hope you will visit again!

Perfect retreat
Grew up in Mansfield and was visiting from Maine with my Mom. Weekend trip. We really enjoyed the bungalow at Eagleville Lake as our home base. Lake was beautiful and fire pit area was a special spot to enjoy morning coffee. Interior was very well laid out. Comfortable beds which is very much appreciated. Rain shower in bathroom a welcomed treat as well. Very comfortable all around. We visited Uconn as well as relatives living in neighboring towns and were always very happy to be returning to the bungalow. Highly recommend and will definitely return!

Oh thank you so much Luke! How wonderful to bring your mom to visit your old stomping grounds! I'm happy that you enjoyed your stay. I try hard to offer a bit more than typical vacation rentals because relaxation is the name of the game when visiting The Bungalow. I hope you will consider us again if you plan a return trip.

Escape to a Lake
We stayed here for a long weekend with our UCONN student to give him a change of scenery and to spend some quality time with him. The Bungalow is conveniently close to campus, warmly decorated and has lots of activities to foster quality family time and memories. My son especially enjoyed adventuring out on the lake with the kayaks. There are also many hiking trails nearby that we enjoyed.

Thanks, Julia, for this review. I'm so happy that your son enjoyed the kayaking. It's so beautiful and serene out on the lake. No moter boats. Just a few paddleboards and kayaks. I'm looking forward to your return!

Excellent Time by the Lake
We really enjoyed our time. Stayed here during a three day trip to UConn. Couldn’t have been better. The house is fully equipped with everything you could need, inside and out. It’s also just a few minutes from campus. We look forward to returning soon.

Definitely coming back.
Like the other reviewers, we were impressed by the decor and cleanliness of the bungalow. It was so relaxing and comfortable. It honestly felt like being at our own home. We can’t wait to come back when the weather is better so we can try out the kayaks. I’d even like to visit their Florida location. This is definitely one of the nicest places we have stayed.

Thank you so much for this excellent review! I'm so happy you felt at home. I strive to give guests all the things they may need while staying at The Bungalow. Like those little things that you may have forgotten to pack. I hope to have you back to enjoy the kayaks on the lake. It's a beautiful paddle!

Great Stay for UConn
My wife and I were visiting our daughter at UConn and stayed The Bungalow. It was close and convenient to UConn. The place itself was very well done with a lot of attention to detail. We visited in February and given the weather didn't get to enjoy the lack and outdoor activities, but it looks like it would be fun in warmer weather. The kitchen was well stocked, which is important for a foodie, and I had everything I needed to make a beef stew one night.

Hard to leave; be back soon!
The Bungalow was the best in-state getaway I've had in years!! The home is decorated to evoke an immediate sense of peace/escape upon entering and it certainly provided a nice space to relax and disconnect. Although I am one to pack EVERYTHING i think i'll need while away, it was so nice to see the many accommodations and considerations included, from outside family fun activities, rainy day indoor games, but especially the fully stocked spice drawer! I could have saved so much space in my suitcase. Lastly, and certainly a highlight, was the lake and the close proximity of the boat launch. I hadn't been canoeing in years and we spent most of our time on the lake enjoying the wonderful weather and making nice with the swan we affectionately named "Swanderella." We capped each night off by the firepit and as I titled this review, it was hard to leave! Lisa was pleaseant and on the ready and accessible if needed, but there were no issues! I will certainly return!

We have stocked the home with all those things you might find in your home, so there is no "running to the market" for something you may have forgotten. Making for a peaceful vacation. I love what you named the Swan. She is all alone now so she visits once in awhile. I would love to have you visit again!

Such an amazing anniversary stay
We had such an amazing time staying at the bungalow. The pictures do not do this place justice. They have thought of so many things to make your stay that much better, from the seasonings, to the wood for the fire pit, to the pots and pans. We can not say enough great things about this listing. We will definitely be back a couple more times next summer! Thank you!

Terrific Lake House
Wow, what a great stay at this lakefront home. Very tastefully decorated, a LOT of amenities (kitchen equipment, personal care, entertainment, games, too many to list). A TV in each of the 2 bedrooms is exceptional (one also in living area). The beds and bedding are super comfortable. You can tell everything i in the home was carefully selected. The area and lake is very, very quiet and peaceful. Hosts are very conscientious and made sure everything was OK. We'll be back! Thank you Lisa and Robert!

Thank you Rosemary! I'm so happy you enjoyed your stay. I really enjoyed putting the bungalow together. I tried to put things in place that I would like to see in a rental. Running to the store because you forgot bugspray or your toothbrush is the last thing you want to do once vacation mode kicks in. I would love to host you again in the future.

An Exceptional Experience
My children and I truly enjoyed everything about this property. We kayaked, played hours of yard games and ended our days making s’mores by the fire. The inside of the house was a dream. We enjoyed cooking in the beautiful kitchen and got a great night’s sleep in the comfy beds. Lisa and Robert thought of everything their guests could possibly need. We had never been to New England before, but the location was close enough that we traveled to Massachusetts to do a little sightseeing. We all agree that we would love to return to The Bungalow for another visit.

Pristine house and pond in Eagleville, Coventry CT
The Bungalow at Eagleville is a very apt name for this beautiful and thoughtful home. My husband and myself found it very relaxing. We kayaked twice every day between 2-3 hours each time. We saw hawks, egrets, herons, blackbirds, ducks, chickadees, two types of lotus, water hyacinth, wild grape vines, frogs, tortoises, and fish. We did several hikes and went to the Farmer’s market. It was very serene and peaceful and we loved it. Lisa and Robert thought about everything in the house both indoors and outdoors. We wish them all the best, Thanks…

Fantastic lakeside stay
Our hosts, Lisa and Robert were phenomenal. The house itself is newly remodelled to the highest standards. Anything you could possibly need, from picnic to toiletries were provided. Lisa even purchased groceries as we arrived after midnight. The lake is picturesque and serene. We lit the outdoor fire, made s’mores and relaxed under the stars. U Conn was a few minutes drive away and the location was super convenient for both the college and sight seeing. We couldn’t have asked for more from our rental. Many thanks to the owners for being so easily reached with fast responses on any questions. We very much hope to return!
