About this property

Lakefront Home East Haddam CT-Peaceful - Crystal Clear Lake-also Academic rental

Lakefront home, situated 30 feet from lake. Available for Summer Rentals beginning second week of June. ALSO AVAILABLE OFF SEASON for ACADEMIC RENTAL from September through June. Please inquire with Owner on rate. We have been renting for 20 years every summer. We always get praises and repeat visitors the following year. If you don’t see any reviews it’s because most of our renters book through other sites. We are happy to provide prior reviews directly to you. This property is right on the lake, unlike properties on other side of the lake which mostly have a road dividing you from the water. Southwestern exposure (all day sun). Panoramic view of clean freshwater lake. What makes this lake nicer than other Connecticut lakes: No outboard motors allowed!!! This fact keeps the lake clean and quiet/peaceful. Sandy bottom in front of house for 20+ feet. Wonderful spot on the lake. Starts shallow and gradually gets deeper. Great for children. Central air and heat newly installed, mattresses are new. Home is ultra-clean. Bedrooms are good sized. Master and additional bedroom overlook the lake. Hardwood flooring lower level, Berber carpets on upper level cleaned and sanitized every year. Breathtaking foliage during the Fall. Relax in the beautiful Connecticut countryside. Swimming, boating, sailing, kayaking, paddle boarding, canoeing, fishing and lakeside sunsets. Winter: ice fishing and skating when permitted. Many nearby activities: Foxwoods Casino, Mohegan Sun Casino, the Connecticut River, the Goodspeed Opera House, Mystic Seaport, quaint riverside towns, fine dining, antiquing, hiking, biking, farms, historical sites and state parks are within half an hour driving time, or less. Connecticut beaches approximately 40 minutes. Fifty minutes from Bradley International Airport. Two and a half hours from New York City and Boston. Please contact owner about Academic or Off Season monthly rental rates.

Lakeside Cottage

Particularly quiet location on the east side of the Lake; and the cottage benefits from breezes off the Lake from how the property is positioned, a nice bonus on hot summer days. Good, open shore access for fly fishing and water craft launching. Would recommend this property to anyone seeking a peaceful vacation.

Awesome property.

We rented this property for a family vacation. My husband and I live nearby and my daughter and family were driving 12 hours to stay at the lake. We had a wonderful time. The location is spectacular. Lake Heyward is a hidden gem. They only allow electric boats, so any traffic is minimal. The water is clean and clear, and the scenery is beautiful. The house is well appointed and had everything we needed for a great lake vacation. It is very close to grocery shopping and restaurants, and near hiking, farms and other cool things. David was a wonderful host. He was warm, quick to answer questions (saved the day when my daughter's 7 year old locked them out) and easy to connect with. Wonderful visit. I am hoping this becomes a summer tradition.

Our family had the perfect vacation here. WE loved everything about the property--the house-the location- the view and the lake. Can't wait to come back. We plan on making it an annual tradition for our family.

About the host

Hosted by David Kay

Property has been family for over 60 years, but has been completely rebuilt. Spent many summers at this home. I know and am friendly with many of the local neighbors. Great place to grow up as a child and exposed me to the beautiful outdoors and nature. That’s why I seek to keep it a pristine area.

Why they chose this property

No outboard power motors. Keeps the lake clean and quiet. With plenty of water sports available. Sailing, paddle boarding, kayaking, canoeing (we provide canoe and kayaks, and a row boat). House is super clean. Neighbors respectful. Caretaker always close by for any questions or concerns.
