Very clean, very close to wineries, a great trip! ##### Kimberly J. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rino B. 1 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great spot with Lake Access This was a great spot that had direct lake access with shallow swimming and wading. Property was super clean with all the necessary accessories especially in the kitchen. One warning I would offer for families with kids is to bring your own beach or water toys. Aside from that this was a great spot and would definitely come back. ##### Rino B. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Maureen O. 30 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### girls get a way weekend Beautiful cottage. Well appointed property. Immaculately cleaned and very comfortable. Professional looking decor. Well stocked kitchen and pantry. Unfortunately, Mother Nature created some insurmountable challenges and we had to leave earlier than expected. Overall a lovely place and we would consider another visit in the future. ##### Maureen O. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### christa c. 11 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Found my happy place First time we stayed and hope to come back. Not sure what else I could have asked for. Right on the water. Super clean. Comfy king-sized bed that looks out at the water. Quite neighborhood. Friendly hosts. Beautiful sunsets. Perfect. ##### christa c. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jon H. 20 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place to stay Really clean and nicely updated. Owner is really friendly. Great location being in the lake and So many wineries near by. Only thing I would mention is to maybe try to treat the spiders with something. It’s understandable that being on the lake is the nature of the beast, but we did come across a few large spiders inside. Thanks for everything, we’ll be back. ##### Jon H. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Heidi R. 5 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfectly Tranquil Setting Five of us arrived at different times to attend a wedding at a winery 5 minutes away. The location was perfect as it allowed us to relax and not have to worry about a long drive before or after the event. The lake house was also perfect! Opening the bright yellow door, we were welcomed to a breathtaking view of the lake shining through the windows ahead of us! What a welcome! It was a rainy weekend but I enjoyed my brief time sitting outside on a blue lawn chair just feeling the warmth of the setting sun and the breeze in my face. It has been a trying month and this was a beautiful way to relax and unwind. We all enjoyed our rooms and slept very comfortably in the beds. The house is well-stocked with everything you might need. Seb and Jen are great communicators and generous hosts who genuinely wanted us to have the best experience. Thank you both....because we really, truly did! I highly recommend the Colchester Lake House! ##### Heidi R. Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary T. 28 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great get away The lakehouse was conveniently situated in wine county. The house as exactly as stated. Fully serviced. Lovely view of sunset. Outside was clean and well maintained. Spent lovely evenings at the firefit. Couldn't ask for more. ##### Mary T.
