About this house rental

7/20-7/27 and 8/3-8/10 are prime weeks still available this summer!!!

DO NOT SEND A BOOKING REQUEST! SEND AN INQUIRY FIRST! IF YOU SEND A BOOKING REQUEST FIRST, AND WE DO NOT AGREE ON THE BOOKING, YOU WILL HAVE TO CALL VRBO TO CANCEL.

Our precious home is a direct waterfront, 5+ bedroom property with expansive, western views of Candlewood Lake. Candlewood lake is Connecticut's largest lake, spanning 11 miles and covering 5420 acres. Only 70 miles to NYC, there is no better large lake this close to the tri-state area. Large backyard with boat dock and at least 25 yards of your own sandy beach. Private large boat dock- bring your own boat or rent one. The boat ramp is 10 minutes away. New beds, furnishing and floors. Furnished screen house. 3 full baths. Outdoor fire pit in summer (indoor wood-burning fireplace in winter). Garage and parking up to 6 cars. Top-of-the-line Oled TVs with Sonos system. Highly rated Casper and Avocado Green mattresses and pillows!

There is a gentle, indiscernible slope to lake from the downstairs level. The backyard is near-level, as opposed to the vast majority of rentals on this lake that require multiple stairs to get to the lake. The flat grade is perfect for both the very young and older guests, as well as the ability for outdoor games/activities.

We have updated our home in the spring of 2022, and we are updating the backyard landscaping in 2024.

Two-night rentals will be considered only on a case by case basis and not in the summer.

Price varies based on weekend/weekday, holidays, and season.

Bedroom 1 -King foam bed. Private bath. Bedroom. 2 - Queen foam. 3- 2 bunk beds (4beds total) Bedroom 4-Queen. Bedroom 5 - Queen.

There is one flight of stairs in the home.

Getting here is best by car. However, Uber/taxi from Danbury MetroNorth station (18minute drive) costs about 20 dollars. Brewster and Southeast are the closest MetroNorth stops on the Harlem line, about 20 minutes away and about 20 dollars. The Harlem line is always a direct train out of grand central station in Manhattan. The Danbury line is either direct (during return rush hour, for example) or requires one transfer, in South Norfolk.

The house uses a septic tank system, so significant water usage and long showers are discouraged.

Please note that although we no longer accept instant booking, and you would have to fill out a template questionnaire regarding out house rules before we accept the reservation. For example, we need to know the exact number and ages of the guests, strict enforcement of noise rules, absolutely no parties or events, limited water usage due to septic capacity concerns, and clear communication about number of day guests, which have to be limited. We have the right to cancel if we are not satisfied with any of your answers. We also may not agree to some reservations over 3 months in advance, as our schedules change and we use the house often.

Please be aware that the home is protected externally by the Ring camera system.

A separate contract, stressing the house rules, must be signed before entering the premises.

The house is perfect for families with young children! Doesn't get any better than direct lake access and a small beach. The perfect view for 4th of July fireworks. Did not want to leave !

The home was exactly as advertised. My family felt very comfortable and enjoyed our brief stay. The lakeside location and views were exquisite. Kim and Chris were very easy to work with, communicate with and very accommodating to our schedule. I would highly recommend their home to others.

We had a wonderful week here! After renting four times on Candlewood Lake, we finally found a house that checks all the boxes for us and our two adult children and their partners (and our priciest to date): 3 comfortable King/Queen beds (and more for guests), 3 full bathrooms, spacious kitchen and common areas. Screened in porch was delightful as was the comfy waterfront furniture under the shaded tree, dock, kayaks and small sandy beach water access. The flat yard is rare on Candlewood and a plus for our elderly parents who came to visit. Central location on the lake was helpful despite the heavy boat traffic on the weekends. Location is ideal for shopping and dining. Only drawback was the septic, a minor annoyance in an otherwise finally appointed home.

Chris and Amy were terrific hosts, very responsive and attentive! Everything was just as advertised or better! The lake access was fantastic and everything inside was better than one could hope for! Good light, good air, great/comfy beds. We appreciated their accommodation for our family to stay together. Would love to do it again and again and again!!!

We just returned from our Candlewood Lake vacation and couldn’t be happier. We fell in love with the lake and were very happy with our stay at this property. We enjoyed swimming, kayaking and paddle boarding. Fishing off the dock provided hours of entertainment for our 11 year old son and his friend. The house was perfectly located, had everything we needed and was very comfortable for our party of 6 adults and 2 boys. Kim and Chris were great hosts, very responsive and remained in contact throughout our stay.

The house was roomy and modern, and located at the heart of the lake. We had an excellent view of all the July 4th fireworks. We enjoyed that it was very near the Echo Marina from which we rented a boat just about everyday. We also enjoyed that we were able to walk 2 plus miles each day on flat and quiet streets.
