85 feet of lake front with dock. Spacious modern house with huge well equipped kitchen - everything from baking pans to 24 assorted herbs and spices. There is a 24 inch Amazon Fire TV in the kitchen. On the main level you will find the kitchen and living room, each with a sliding door opening onto the upper deck; master bedroom and bath suite with a door opening directly out onto the upper deck; as well as a second bedroom with a queen bed and another full bathroom. On the lower level is another large living room with 2 sleeper sofas, a bedroom with one twin bed and one double bed, and a full bathroom. The 55 inch Samsung TV is in the lower level living room. Also on the lower lever is the washer and dryer (laundry detergent provided). From the sliding doors on the lower level, you will exit onto the lower patio level with an outdoor eating area protected from the rain. The garage has been converted into a game room with a pool table and a ping pong table. Don't worry, there is still plenty of off road parking in the driveway in front of the garage and a secondary parking area at the side of the property. There is a Level 2 Electric Vehicle charging station in the garage, available for your use.
(Dock, water slide, swimming, kayaks, rowboat, canoe, and stand up paddle boards are available during the appropriate seasons only. The game room is unheated. )
Guests will have access to the entire house, except for one or two small locked supply closets. We love our area in every season of the year. Fall brings beautiful leaves and great hiking and mountain biking, or ride the Airline Trail. Winter is a peaceful quiet time here, with hiking, skating, cross-country skiing, and ice fishing. Spring means beautiful flowers, pleasant temperatures, more hiking and biking, and a return to boating. And I guess we don't need to tell you how beautiful summer is, and how much there is to do here. Year round, just over a mile away on the other side of the lake, is a nice gym called Team Fitness. We have made arrangements with them to provide discounted access to our guests for $10 per person for up to a week.
We're eager to hear from our guests, both about anything they may need and any ideas they have for improving the property. We may be able to help you with anything from finding babysitting to suggestions for activities to finding a mountain biking guide.
We are in the middle of a quiet friendly neighborhood. Spellman Point Road is a dead end road, so there is not a lot of traffic. Just a 3 minute walk down Bay Road is a Middlesex Land Trust park with trails for walking and mountain biking. Five minute drive to either Stop & Shop or Big Y for grocery shopping. Eight minute drive to the large playground at Memorial School. Lots of cute shops along downtown Main Street. 6 minute drive to the Air Line Trail, a great bike or walking rail trail.
We are right on Lake Pocotopaug, a beautiful body of water, providing boating and swimming opportunities. Across the lake from us is a town beach with a playground, and it is open to the public (although only residents can park there). We have a rowboat, kayaks and paddleboards for use by our guests, and a slide out on the water which kids will enjoy. On occasion the owners may also use the kayaks, paddle boards, rowboat or slide.
Plenty of free parking. Approximately 1 mile walk to Middletown Area Transit bus stop.
The owners of the house live in the adjacent property. We are always available by messaging for any questions or problems, and usually can come over in person if necessary.
If interested, check with your hosts about local baby-sitters, all kinds of biking expeditions, windsurfing and other local activities.
LONGER STAYS ARE AVAILABLE: there is a 17% discount for a week long stay. Contact owners for further details.
HOUSE RULES: Guest must sign renter agreement.
No smoking, vaping, or use of candles or incense indoors. No use of fireplaces. Cigarette smoking allowed outdoors if appropriate ash trays are used.
No illegal drug use.
No firearms.
No diving from dock or sliding board.
Life jackets must be worn when watercraft are used.
Children must be supervised at all times, and especially at the waterfront.
No more than 4 cars without prior permission.
No more than 12 people on the property at any time without prior permission.
Turn AC off when the house is not in use.
Pets (cats and dogs) are allowed: maximum of 2 pets. Notify owner in advance of stay so that we can prepare for your arrival and put out dog beds, feeding bowls, etc. We may put protective covers on some sofas and beds when pets are visiting.
Some amenities are only available in specific seasons, for example waterfront amenities are available throughout the summer.
Only toilet paper in the toilets! NO "flushable wipes", paper towels, feminine products, etc. Ignoring this rule could cause you to lose days of your vacation, as the house is unusable if the sewer grinder pump fails.
We have never seen any dangerous animal in the yard. However, within a half mile of the property bobcats, foxes, and raccoons have been seen, and a black bear was reported within 2 miles of the property. Like everywhere in CT there are various insects and also ticks that could carry Lyme disease.
Everything you need is available on the entry level, with the exception of the laundry room. Within the house, there is a staircase from the entry level to the lower level. A child safety gate is installed at the top of these stairs. From the deck to the patio, there is a spiral staircase.

We really enjoyed our visit. Best location on a very quiet section of the lake yet close to town with dining and shops. Beautiful lake with a great dock for swimming and kayaking. Dick & Linda are great hosts.

Communicative and gracious hosts, we felt very at home, and we loved our stay 😊

We really enjoyed our visit. The house was clean and comfortable. Great location, lots of space. Dick and Linda made sure we had everything we needed (even dropped off a tub of Legos, some batteries and matches!) We love Lake Pocotopaug and would definitely stay again at this house.

This property worked very well for our group of six adults. We especially appreciated the large well-stocked kitchen, the three full bathrooms, and the game room. The view of the lake was lovely, as were the outdoor spaces for enjoying it. Linda and Dick were always gracious, responsive, and generous hosts. It was great having grocery stores and pickleball/tennis courts nearby, and we made more than one visit to the Belltown Bakery in town--so good! All in all, a wonderful family vacation spot.

A Wonderful Wesleyan Parents Weekend Retreat
We rented this beautiful property for our first parents' weekend at Wes. It has a magnificent view, a wonderful layout, and the best hosts ever, who live right next door. They sent us lots of helpful info, gave us and our dog some snacks, and even brought over a dog bed. We will be back. We highly recommend it to any family or group of friends looking for a special place to make memories!

Family fun at the lake
Location of property was great! Nice size dock so kids can jump in water plus big enough to keep boat there. The water slide and pad was great fun. The lake was beautiful. The house was mostly updated but could use a little power washing. Overall, our family had a fantastic time. House had everything needed to cook, sleep and play.

Great family vacation!
Beautiful setting! Very comfortable and clean rental. We rent a lot of VRBO properties and this is one of my favorites. The Kitchen was stocked and extremely spacious. Linda was a pleasure to work with, and I would highly recommend this property. The fireplaces didn't work, but from what I understand, the owners might be working on getting them running again. Other than that, excellent vacation!

Graduation Weekend
If a quiet no fuss lake trip near Wesleyan is up your alley this home was great! Clean well maintained and fully stocked on lake w paddle boards. Kayaks, row boat, tubes, slides, grill. Great space to hang w family instead of hotel and enjoy time w your kids ! Dogs welcome too and ours was sooo happy. Owner lives right next door so as long as you are courteous and not late night party people it’s fine. Location near supermarkets and nice restaurant on lake too. We enjoyed our stay.

Fun in the hot summer sun
Owner/ neighbors were very welcoming and attentive. Game room was a big hit for teens in all kinds of weather. House had flexible space for all eight of us. Lots of water activities such as rowboat, kayak, water slides and tubes. Nice views from both decks but could have used a quick power wash on the lower deck. Overall it was a relaxing enjoyable stay and we highly recommend it.
