Fabulous as always!
This was our second stay at the property and it was wonderful! The house is so cute and clean. Really feels like home. We cook up a storm in the kitchen and on the huge grill. The kids are crazy about the game room. We are never bored, so much to do. I miss having our morning coffee on the dock. Views are fabulous.

magical
We just had the most magical 10 days. The house was perfect, the location and views were amazing. Jocelyn was super helpful, responsive and was the best owner I’ve rented from. All the small touches really add up. The welcome packet, how clean everything was, directions and what to do around town.

Amazing city escape at Candlewood Lake
Our family had a much needed change of scenery at this stunning home right on Candlewood Lake. It had everything we needed for our stay, even in freezing temperatures! Everything was clean, super cozy and we had a blast roasting marshmallows and in the game room. Jocelynn was readily available with questions. Would love to return since it’s such an easy trip from NYC. Thank you!

Great Thanksgiving Stay
The house is as advertised, a well maintained home and property on a quiet, one-lane street. We made a last minute booking for a Thanksgiving getaway and Jocelyn was quick to respond and accommodate us.
I packed most of my cooking equipment just in case but I could have left about 90% of it home as the kitchen is well stocked and organized. Small travel shampoos and soaps etc were provided throughout, so there was a bit of that hotel convenience with the comfort of a home.
There isn't a bad bed or room in the house, beds are all very comfortable, and our boys ages 5 & 3 enjoyed sleeping in the bunk bed room downstairs. I did notice the house was well setup for families with smaller children/babies if that's a concern for someone considering rental (retractable baby gates installed at the stairs, on-suite nursery room in master bedroom, high chair etc).
Even in colder weather we were able to enjoy the backyard and terrace with the fire pit and propane heater, and the hot tub was fantastic as well, already heated up and ready to roll when we got there. We would love to come back in swimming weather, great view off the dock and lots of float toys & games in the shed. Plenty to do in foul weather too, board games/puzzles and the garage game room help pass the time easily!

Amazing stay, amazing host and gorgeous house!
I stayed at Jocelynn’s gorgeous house for two weeks. I could go on and on about how fabulous this property is! What an incredibly special place, The house had everything we could have possibly needed and was meticulously clean. The location could not have been any better. Jocelynn was a pleasure to deal with and made every aspect of our stay flow seamlessly. We are already trying to figure out when to go back!

Perfect getaway
My family and I had an amazing time at this property. It honestly had everything we could have ever wanted, a beautiful view of the lake, a gorgeous house with all of the amenities including a game room, and a host that answered any and all questions immediately. In particular, Jocelynn provided all baby items (crib, high chair, baby hates, etc.) so that I didn’t have to bring those with me which was a HUGE help and not typical with any other property we viewed. We will definitely be back!!

Great weekend trip
Lovely home - brand new interior and super clean. Beds soft and very comfortable. Game room was an unexpected plus and lots of fun. Travelled with two young children - loved the ocean room at the top of the house and all the games and kids activities the owner made available. Great stay

Excellent
We enjoyed staying at the property! After traveling it was nice to come into a property that had many of the items we needed (paper towels, soap) available and also have a kitchen fully stocked with cooking items. It was wonderfully appointed and cozy. We enjoyed our stay.
