4 Bedroom House in Lake Pocotopaug
Laurel Island is a perfect location to hold a retreat, reunion or family group that combines the privacy and peacefulness of an island and facilities for groups both large and small. Accommodations include 5 private cottages and a large main Lodge for gathering. Local catering is available for group meals and will provide meals adaptable to different diets. However you can take care of your own meals in the large Lodge kitchen and the 5 kitchens in the cabins.
The 5 acre island's canopy trees, blueberry bushes, rocky outcrops and large grassy field provide numerous spaces for activities and events. A huge covered deck overlooking the lake provides protection regardless of the weather, and is attached to the Lodge for easy access. All of these spaces lend well for yoga, meditation, nature, wellness and other types of retreats, reunions or family groups.
There are 5 guesthouses on the Island, A-frame, Bay House, Chalet, Deck House and Captain Cabin-which sit on the lakeshore of the Island, all within an easy stroll yet distinctly private from one another. Each cabin has a living room, a kitchen area and 2, 3 or 4 bedrooms. Each cabin has a refrigerator, a stove, a kitchen sink and plates and utensils. Also each cabin has its own dock and at least one water front deck to enjoy the view. There are plenty of windows. Each guesthouse has water, electricity and other facilities.
We provide the facility which includes kitchens, stoves, refrigerators, pots and pans in each guest house. You take care of all other arrangements i.e. food, bedding etc. However if you rent the entire Island we provide sheets and towels in addition.
If you have a boat this is ideal, you can use the dock at your cabin for your boat. Rowboats are available. The recreational opportunities of a lake are available: canoeing, kayaking, swimming, standup boards and more. On the Island are volleyball, badminton, bocce, croquet, horseshoes and other land sports.
When the entire Island is rented there is a caretaker on the Island to help with the facilities. The Island is supplied with electricity by an off the grid solar system with a back up generator when nightime use exceeds the storage. The water in the Lodge and cabins is pumped from a well on the Island.
We have a home on the shore near the Island. You park your car at our home and we take you to the Island on our pontoon boat with all your luggage.
This is our home and we expect our guests to treat it with respect and not to harm it in any way. We do allow pets but expect them to be well behaved and cleaned up after.
Cabin Chalet can accommodate up to 7 people in Laurel Island. In the center is an open area that has a firepit, volleyball, badminton, horseshoes, bocce. There are canoes, kayaks, paddleboards, paddleboats and row boats for your use. There are beaches nearby.
