This custom home was built in 1982 and purchased by us in 2018\. It has modern accents as well as the charm of a lived-in home. Lounge around, cook and enjoy a fire. Or, visit our charming towns, great restaurants and windy New England roads. Either way- we are sure you willl love it here as much as we do. We welcome pets!! Our dog and three cats will happily let your pets hang out for a while and enjoy the pleasures of Cedar Ledge. Our home is very spacious and good for a group or large family. We have a well-appointed kitchen with everything you could need, including staples in the cupboard and fridge. We provide paper towels, toilet paper and cloth napkins, so fill that space in your car with more wine! Downstairs includes a sunroom with sitting area and breakfast table adjacent to the kitchen. A few steps into the hall you will find the downstairs half-bath on one side and the laundry room on the other. Separated by pocket doors is a large living area with TV, wood-burning fireplace, and upright piano, as well as a formal dining area and multiple sitting areas. In addition there is a bonus room downstairs with a 77” tv, twin beds, walk-in-closet and fully renovated bathroom with walk-in shower, soaking tub and double sink basin. This bathroom also has a heated floor. Upstairs are the four bedrooms with Saatva and Casper mattresses, comfortable linens and aller-ease pillow covers on all pillows. Each room has sets of towels for guests. Upstairs you will also find the second full bathroom with claw foot tub and shower. The surrounding yard and woods are our homes’s best feature. Views of Rogers lake, wooded surroundings and a spacious front lawn (fire pit!) are complimented by two decks and a small manicured courtyard in the back of the house. Various deck chairs and a dining area included. The area is rich with history and beauty. And lobster rolls. Come and enjoy!!! PETS: Pets must be up to date with vaccinations and be on flea and tick prevention to visit our home. GUEST ACCESS: Outdoor parking for multiple cars is available on site. There is no public transportation nearby. OTHER THINGS TO NOTE: We live in the woods, which we hope you will appreciate. A few hiking trails can be accessed directly from our yard. Remember this also means wild animals are in abundance. While they are not welcome in our home, we consider the outdoors their domain and strive to treat it as if we are their guests. The exception is ticks - which we find with some frequency and kill with relish. Please check yourselves and your pets upon returning from any walks beyond the lawn. Pets must be up to date with vaccinations and be on flea and tick prevention to visit our home. Despite the proximity of civilization, we sometimes lose power during storms. There is no generator and we have a well - which means no water if the power goes out. Bottled water is stocked in case you need it. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven ### Bedrooms - 5 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - In-room accessibility - Upper floors accessible by stairs only - Wheelchair-accessible path of travel - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Unit size: 3,700 square feet ## Similar properties ![Smart TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/120000000/119510000/119507300/119507260/0a69b248.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The little cottage on the ct river Haddam - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-02&endDate=2026-02-03&selected=119507260&PinnedHotelID=119507260&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![House (3 Bedrooms) | Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/119000000/118200000/118190100/118190031/df7c03e6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 1/2 Mi to Beach: Family Retreat in Old Lyme!
