Lake Quonnipaug - Guilford Connecticut

I recently had the pleasure of working with a client who was relocating from Chapel Hill NC and was in need of a rental property before starting her new position at Pepsico located at Science Park in New Haven CT.

Mary and I had been in contact via email and phone for a number of months prior to her first visit to look at rentals. She had done quite a bit of research online and had narrowed her search to the Branford and Guilford area with an emphasis on finding a waterfront rental.

We were successful in finding her exactly what she was looking for along Lake Quonninipaug in Point Arrowhead. It's a fully furnished year round rental that overlooks the lake with spectacular views. For Mary it was like finding paradise after living in residence in a college area.

Mary moved into her new place last week and will be starting her position at Pepsico tomorrow. As soon as she gets settled in we'll be getting together to share a glass of wine, light a roaring fire and take in the beauty of Lake Quonnipaug.
