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.

We enjoyed our stay. It was quiet and had everything we needed in the house. Check in was very easy. Will consider staying here again if we are in the area.
We were in the area for a wedding in Connecticut and visiting family in Massachusetts. The location was perfect being in the middle of both events. Its a very quiet neighborhood. All amenities were as stated in the listing. The bed in the main bedroom is very comfortable. We will come back if we are in the area again.bedroom was very cconformable.
The property is near casinos, great restaurants, and many other attractions. The check-in process was very efficient, and the communication with the host was top-notch. The lake is absolutely gorgeous and picturesq
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!
Absolutely loved our stay! It was everything we expected from the pictures and description. Kayaking on the lake was relaxing. It is just far enough away from the hustle and bustle to be convenient and secluded. We will absolutely be back.
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.
Overall experience was great. Price was fair. Could use a bit more organization but it still is a lake house and was plenty comfortable for my family. Will absolutely book again
The sunset over the lake is fantastic and the leaves were all changing. There is a lot of room in the house and it is in great shape and clean. Would recommend for a getaway. It is a long ways from a major city but shopping is not that far away. Very peaceful location
Our family of 2 teens and mother and father stayed in the house with plenty of room. Each kid had their own space and the place was clean and well decorated for the Christmas season which was a nice bonus. The only drawback was the beds were very uncomfortable .
A decent little house, lots of space and a really nice sized yard on the water. Beautiful view. The owner was very responsive to my concerns when I reached out to her about the cleanliness on our arrival. Our stay was ok- I’m sure it’s great in the summer with kids - the yard looks wonderful.
Overall accommodations were s stated. We booked there because it was the closest place to Foxwoods. We ha to run back and forth.
Recommendions: While ther was a spacious yard and lovely view of the lake, the yard a decks could have cleaner.
Beautiful older home with lovely lake accents throughout!
Comfortable master bedroom with walk in closet !The furniture in the kitchen and living room were also cozy !
The extensive work on the outside decks is awesome ! We had everything we needed for a wonderful weeks stay ! Our hosts, Mike & Ashleigh , did all they could to make our stay perfect !! Would definitely recommend this property!
Our family enjoyed this lakefront getaway. This property provided space to spend time together and space to have quiet time. The property was clean and well kept and provided all the necessities we needed. This property is convenient to Mystic area and off the busy roads to escape the noise of traffic. We would return to this property in the future.
Loved the view of the pond from the various outdoor seating areas. The small dock was great for the best view and was fun to see the turtles.
So peaceful, reminded us of a bird sanctuary. Michael and Ashleigh were very responsive to any inquiry we made.
Kitchen nice size and well equipped for our stay. Especially enjoyed using one of the two fire pits for a relaxing evening under the stars. Thanks so much!
Michael and Ashleigh's Cottage is a hidden gem! This cozy retreat, tucked away by the lake's edge, offers an idyllic blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. Mornings here start with serene views of mist rising off the water and end with stunning sunsets melting into starry skies. Inside, the cottage is beautifully furnished, ensuring a homey feel throughout the stay. Perfect for those seeking peace and rejuvenation. A must-visit!
