Pleasant and Peaceful
We were 4 adults needing a place to sleep for a family event being hosted in Salem, CT. About a 25 minute drive. Small house in a quiet neighborhood, with a nice deck out front. Clean and tastefully decorated. Comfy beds and plenty of kitchen essentials. Seemed like a nice location to spend some time relaxing, which we were not able to enjoy as our weekend was jam packed with family down in Salem. Hopefully, we get to come back again with more time to explore.

Comfy Cozy
The Peek-a-Boo was very comfortable. First, it was very easy to check-in. Even late at night in the rain! The bungalow is VERY clean and the beds were spectacular. It was warm, inviting, and well stocked. Thanks for your hospitality.

Perfect little getaway
We enjoyed our stay at this cozy little cabin by the lake. The place was clean and had everything we needed to relax and enjoy quality time with our son. We especially enjoyed the retro/mid-century decorations throughout the home. So much fun! We would not hesitate to stay here again!

Good
It was clean. The headboard on queen bed was not attached which when we turned at night it woke us up. Limited linens for five nights. WiFi was good the bathing supplies seemed to be left over from other guests. Laundry was a nice touch. From the south so heating was a learned experience. Beautiful area just felt like we didn’t feel like it was worth the price we paid.

A little home base
Another lovely week on Amston Lake and this property was perfect for us! It's a cozy cottage with all the comforts of home, everything new and clean and carefully thought out. Comfortable mattress and a brand new washer/dryer make this nifty place a no-brainier for us! See you next test, and thanks for all!

Fun vacation!
My 4 kids and I stayed here for 3 nights for a little vacation from Pennsylvania. It was our second time in Connecticut and 2nd house we rented from Todd. It’s very clean, has everything you need. It’s in such a nice neighborhood. When you sit outside to drink your coffee, everyone is walking their dogs and everybody says hello. The night we got there it was a little rainy and we all took a little walk to one of the beaches. The next day it was rainy but we found an awesome shopping area to visit in Mystic. By the time we got back we were able to go to the lake for an afternoon of swimming. The beach is small and the water is crystal clear. We love Connecticut. We will definitely be coming back next year!

Cute little house with comfortable bed and everything in its place. Everything is clean and works. Though not directly on the lake, still has a lake cottage feel. Would stay here again.

Curley Stay
We found the property to be excellent in every way. The shower was a little small for my very large husband but perfect for me!😁. We wished we were staying longer because it was pretty and restful. Our only complaint was the coffee maker. It’s an off brand “Keurig” and wouldn’t work with the Keurig pods we brought with us. I’d recommend the owners spring for the real thing since coffee is VERY important!!

Cute and Comfy and so close to the lake
The house was very cute and comfy. It had everything we needed for our 3 day stay. Access to the lake is right across the street.
It was clean. Back door stuck. Wished the porch was covered since it rained the whole time we were there. Shower was a little small. But we were comfortable.

Wish for more time
We can't say much more than what a great place. Close to the lake and nicely located in a wooded area, but central to the many places we were here to visit. Our wish would have been to spend more time enjoying Peek-A-Boo View and the surrounding area, but other commitments kept us away for much of the stay. Stefan and Todd, the hosts were very accommodating. Thank you for a stress free experience. If we return to the area, we will definitely attempt to book this property again.
