Cottage rentals with a hot tub

Waterfront cottage overhanging the water!
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the cottage. It was so very peaceful and we loved being literally right around n the water! Slept amazingly well and the cottage was just lovely! Robert was also a great host. 5 stars all around and we hope to return again!

Luxury cottage by the sea with hot tub and pool
Perfect spot for a quiet weekend getaway! We were able to go to Yale art museums for the day and then came back to check out the beaches. Definitely recommend the trip to Dockside Seafood and Grill in Branford for lobster pasta! The hot tub was also the best way to end the day with a peaceful beautiful view!! Would definitely go back again!

Cozy Lakefront Cottage w/Swim Spa & Firepit
We had a GREAT time at Feyza’s cabin. It was clean, quiet and exactly as described. We especially loved the secluded setting, the lake views and the jacuzzi. Feyza was helpful, communicative and very responsive. Her digital guidebook was very insightful as to the local attractions and restaurants. We would definitely stay here again!

Lakeside cottage with beautiful views up the lake!
We always love going to this cottage. It’s our favorite. It’s actually one of our favorite places. To go a few times a year winter summer. We just spent memorial weekend there. A little doggies loved it. Home away from home so cozy. Bobby the host is wonderful. My daughter boyfriend came up and they absolutely loved it and my son came from Texas to spend one night. It was his first time there he loved it. We already planning on going back. Fantastic getaway. If you need to distress and want calmness. This is the place to come to. And the town of Mystic has great restaurants Like I said it’s our favorite place to come to and I’ve been to quite a few…. Just got home today and I’m seeing if I can book some sometime in October to go back we love it.

Lake Beseck cottage
We loved our stay here. It was the perfect place for two of us and our dog. The home was just as described, welcoming, cosy and well equipped, and we appreciated all the local recommendations. We enjoyed local walks, the lake, and the great dog park, as well as easy access to Middletown to visit our son. Elisabeth and Daniel were fantastic hosts!

Mystic, CT Pet-Friendly Cottage with Hiking Trails
My sister, dog and I stayed at the cottage for the weekend and had a great experience! Erika is a wonderful host and the property is beautiful. The cottage itself was exactly as pictured. Breakfast in the inn, cooked with natural and organic ingredients, is an absolute must. The location of the inn is great as well, with direct access to the Lantern Hill trail (which our dog loved) and only a short drive from downtown. Would definitely recommend staying here!

In-law apartment in Farmington River Cottage
Is a great place. Clean, comfortable. It is a basement apartment so the ceilings and doorways are lower than a normal house. I am 6 ft 5 in tall and I did not hit my head on the ceiling but the doorways were low where my hair would brush up. The bathroom sink and mirror were low also but all things were workable. I am NOT faulting her place at all. I am just tall. I will stay here again on my next trip to Connecticut. Elizabeth is nice and friendly. Once in a while you would hear the cat chasing the dog upstairs. but I just laughed at it. No noise was ever constant or non-stop. Slept very well. The early evening you would hear a train whistle way in the background almost like clockwork. Not disturbing, made it peaceful like you were in a small town country place. The river was nice. Hearing the river and wildlife was nice after a 10 hour workday. Highly recommend this for a stay. Only thing- wish the security light went on at 3am when I left. Hard to see going up the outside stairs.

SILVER SANDS BEACH COTTAGE MILFORD NEAR YALE/TRAIN
A very cute and wonderful place to stay! Cozy, clean, private, and incredibly close to the beach! Lisa was extraordinarily understanding about the check-out time and process, would LOVE to stay again! :)

Montauk Cottage Escape
We absolutely loved our stay at Milton & Megan's Montauk house! It was perfect for a group of 4 (2 couples) there for a 4 day trip. The house is very quiet & peaceful, with lots of outdoor space, but also very walkable to town. The house was super clean, and everything was very easy to find. The bedrooms had lots of closet space, the TV was easy to set up, and all the amenities listed on the website were accurate. We'd love to come back again and stay. Thanks!

Montauk Oceanview
Always love staying at Ron’s. It’s so peaceful. Perfect location and beautiful Ocean views with a short ride if you need to go to town. Montauk Music Fest is a must. Amazing talent and great way to see all Montauk venues. Ron so great to have as a host!

1920’s charming dollhouse near South Cove
The cottage was fantastic, and Jodi was an amazing host. Communication was effortless and timely, and Jodi was helpful, proactive and generous. I loved how close the sound was to the cottage - hopefully I'll be able to stay there again, and if I do I'll bring a kayak with me. For the purposes of this stay, though, maybe the best thing was how close it was to where I was working for the week - less than a 5-minute drive to downtown Old Saybrook.

Sound View Beach Cottage
Great for my Staycation The peacefulness was great love the beach not too far away from the house Lauren did a great job !

A Beach House Gem
We continue to visit Rose’s house for our yearly weekend girls getaway. It’s the perfect cozy beautiful place to catch up with friends and relax. Rose is an amazing host!

Beautiful Updated Cottage walk to the Beach
The cottage is very well maintained, beautifully decorated, super clean and spacious. You’ll find everything you need there! The location is great, the beach is a 5 minutes walk, neigh bits are very friendly and quiet. Within a short drive you’ll find lots of restaurants, all is listed by Joe in the cottage! We loved spending a few days here and would love to come back!

Game Room-Mins to Beach&Boardwalk-Walk to Marinas
We enjoyed our stay here very much. It was very clean and tastefully decorated. The kids loved the game room and the fenced in backyard was great to enjoy with our pup. We walked to the marina & a great seafood restaurant. It was a short drive to cute cafes for breakfast. Can’t think of anything I’d change- it was perfect!

The Beach Nest-Lux Cottage Steps to the Beach
Great, beachy location within easy driving distance of a bunch of great waterfront restaurants. Easy, clean, and very comfortable.

Little Gem Waterfront beach home/ cottage
This place has so much charm! Clean. Comfy beds and linens. Well stocked kitchen. Everything you nee to feel right at home. Very safe neighborhood.

Cozy Lakefront Cottage Perfect for Families
What a beautiful view! We had a great time despite the weather. The house was very comfortable and the location right on the lake is hard to beat.

Renovated beach cottage a block from private beach
April’s cozy beach cottage was perfect for my elderly parents. Everything was spotless, and although tiny, the kitchen was fully stocked with a large refrigerator and full stove, microwave etc. both the bed and the sofa were v comfortable and most importantly, April made sure there was AC in every room, even the cute porch. There’s an outdoor shower which is super convenient. You can easily walk to the beach, go to the arcade, kokomos, a crepes place and the carousel and gift shop. Very peaceful retreat. Must also mention how cheerfully it’s decorated and how spotlessly clean! Just lovely.
