3 Bedroom House in Lake Pocotopaug, East Hampton

*Please note this property does not allow for Saturday check in or check out dates*
Make memories with family and friends on Lake Pocotopaug. We offer 3 kayaks and a canoe for exploring the 512 acre lake. Relax in the hammock or on the covered patio where lakeside breezes keep you cool and bug free! A charcoal and gas grill are provided for your grilling pleasure. Sit around the fire pit while watching the sunset.
Our kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need for your holiday feast. Service for 16 & table for 8. The 3 bedrooms each have a King bed & one room has two twins (a daybed with trundle). The house has accommodations for up to 8 guests (portable crib & toddler gear included). Enjoy sunsets views on the lake while sitting by the wood burning fireplace or outside by the fire pit.
Lakeside Ferns is our family's lakefront vacation home, and we’ve been sharing with other families on Vrbo/HomeAway since July 2015. Add your family’s happy memories here in East Hampton, CT!
WHY WE LOVE LAKESIDE FERNS:
** The 50 feet of private frontage on Lake Pocotopaug with a lakeside covered patio and Solostove fire pit. We provide plenty of water toys, too, including a canoe, a stand-up paddleboard (on request), sit-on-top kayaks, life vests and beach towels.
** Because this is also our personal vacation home, we’ve made it as comfortable and clean as possible. We also equipped and stocked it with family-friendly goodies like WiFi, Netflix, Keurig coffee machine (+ pods), outdoor-safe tumblers for cool drinks by the lake, Igloo coolers, charcoal and gas grills, even a jogging stroller (please request at booking)!
** Our home is an allergen-reduced environment, which means:
Regular air filter maintenance
Allergen-reducing protectors on all mattresses, box springs and pillows. (These also protect against bed bugs and dust mites.)
All linens are laundered in hypoallergenic, environmentally friendly, non-toxic soap (Charlie’s).
Two Himalayan salt lamps, which may help to reduce allergy and asthma symptoms.
** Every bed is a King-size bed (3 total). The bunk beds have been replaced with a daybed and trundle.
3 BEDROOMS
:: The Red Fern :: First floor bedroom with direct bathroom access, a Smart TV, DVD player and basic cable.
:: The Boston Fern :: Upstairs master suite with lake views, direct bathroom access, a 50" Smart TV, Blu-ray player and basic cable.
:: The Maidenhair Fern :: Upstairs bedroom with a lake view and small patio. This room has both a King-size bed and a twin daybed with trundle (sleeps 2 kids)—perfect for parents who want to keep little ones close.
Two additional foldaway beds sleep 2 more.
2 FULL BATHROOMS
:: First Floor Bathroom :: Bathtub/shower combination with hand held shower nozzle, removable seat, and closet with a washer & dryer. Hairdryer, soap and shampoo, handheld steamer, iron with ironing board, basic cleaning supplies, and toiletries included.
:: Second Floor Bathroom :: Stall shower and clawfoot bathtub. Starter supply of soap, shampoo, facial tissue and toilet paper provided. Accessed directly from master suite, but shared with Maidenhair Fern.
LOCATION
From downtown East Hampton, you can hike or bike the scenic Air Line Trail State Park. Plan a date night with dinner at the Gelston House, followed by a show at the historic Goodspeed Opera House on the CT River. Dine, shop and try your luck at Mohegan Sun Casino. End a day of antiquing at The Shops at Marlborough Barn with some comfort food from Sadler's Ordinary. Nearby Belltown Hill Orchards is the place to pick seasonal produce like apples, blueberries, cherries, and peaches.
We’re within 35 miles of Bradley International airport, Glastonbury (11 mi.), Hartford (20 mi.), and Middleton (9 mi.).
Located at the street level, there is a garage apartment where the caretaker of the property resides. The caretaker does not access the home, driveway or lakeside yard during guests stays. Please note our trash service pickup is early morning Wednesday as is our landscape service. You will see the caretaker removing and returning trash and recycle cans from the garage parking area to the street and back. The lawn service requires all outside furniture and watercraft to be put away as found at check in so they can mow on Wednesday mornings. Both trash pick up and lawn service days are subject to change without notice.
Minimum age requirements and maximum occupancy of 8
Events (house parties, reunions or weddings), pets and smoking are not permitted.
PLEASE READ: Why is the final rate higher than the rate listed?
We use variable rates so that we don’t exclude smaller groups. If I set just one flat rate, it would likely be too expensive for a couple or a small family—and a total steal for a group of 8! So the rate increases along with the number of guests.
If you divide the total rate by the number of guests, you’ll find the per-night fee per guest is a value for the experience you receive at Lakeside Ferns!
