Twin Lakes Cottage
Salisbury, Connecticut

Great casual summer place for a small family or a couple with room for guests. Great room, master bedroom, and kitchen overlook the lake and dock 35 feet away. Great room has firestove, cozy corner, and table, but most sit on barstools at the kitchen counter... unless they eat out on the deck (where, if you sit still the chickadees will eat sunflower seeds out of your hand). The bunk beds in the kids room can be made into twin beds. The beautiful main lake is a mile across. The landmark "Alvord's Tower" forms a scenic backdrop to your kids swimming off your dock. Boat over to O'Hara's for lunch, refill your skiboat, or buy your bait. Paddle through the lily pond into the 2nd lake, and on down the channel for a good morning's paddle. Or find the entrance to the hidden pond where the beaver may still live. Pack a lunch for a trip to One-Tree Island. (Or as the local kids call it, Birdpoop Island.)

Tap water comes from the lake, so order drinking water delivered, or do like we do and go fill the 2 gallon jugs from the town spring in Salisbury. The best testament to how much our renters like it here, most of them have come back more than one season. Five only stopped renting because they bought their own homes on Twin Lakes.
