About this house rental
Recently renovated inside and out- this lakefront home is located in the desirable community of Candlewood Knolls. An easy 90 minute drive from the city, this property is perfect for extended family get-togethers, a couple of families with kids looking for some lake fun, or a few adult couples needing a few days away.
The property sits directly on a calm part of the lake and extends out to South Beach, a private Knolls beach with child-friendly access to the water from the sandy beach. Bring your child monitor and hang out on the beach while the little's are napping.
Our manicured property leads you to the private deck with a Solo Stiove, Adirondack chairs and a serene sitting area overlooking a very quiet part of the lake. The Solo Stove is a great way to end your day on Candlewood Lake.
Enjoy many a meal on the outdoor teak table with string lighting to set just the right vibe for a tranquil and fun family meal. Our awnings are retractable if need but provides the perfect amount of shade to enjoy morning coffee.
Indoors, the master bedroom has a brand new deck overlooking Candlewood Lake that avails the perfect sunrise daily. I can't think of a better place to enjoy some morning coffee. A pocket door reveals the master bathroom with a double sink and beautiful glass-enclosed shower with natural stone flooring,
The guest room has a nautical double bed that sleeps 2.
Our Bunk Room is perfect for all of the kiddos... L-shaped bunk beds sleep 4 plus a single bed allows for 5 BFF's or cousins to have a fun sleepover party!
A full bath in the hallway with a tub and shower with subway tiles is perfect for washing away the sandy toes. .
Stackable full-size washer dryer is also on the second floor hidden behind a pocket door.
Relax, read and just hang out in "a room with a view" with 2 6 x 8 picture windows that offer spectacular views of the lake. This sitting room has 3 cozy couches and a fireplace with a TV mounted above.
The main floor, which has french doors leading out to the lake, has a 9 foot rustic farm table that all can break bread together. The fully stocked kitchen with all of the comforts of home has a butcher block countertop and stainless appliances. A big cozy couch (which is a sleep sofa) can seat many to either hangout or watch a good movie on the TV that is mounted over the other fireplace.
Behind the sliding barn door is a bar area with a half bath and a perfect area for cocktails and conversation. Toys, games and other goodies for your littles are in the back area to keep your little ones occupied. A bar complete with barstools and plenty of storage for your weekly supplies during your stay.
While we could go on about the house... the community has plenty to offer to families. Just a short walk is a ball field, and bocci and horseshoe courts. Jungle gym, hoops court as well as a tennis court if you want to get away for an hour or so. The beach in the front of the house is the best though. Walk the kids down, and set up for the day.
Minimums: 6 night stay mid-May through Labor day
Note that it's very much a quiet family community. We want to share our home with families looking to make memories.

Bill and Niki are excellent hosts. Their house on Candlewood Lake is a perfect getaway to relax and unwind. The views, the location, the amenities, were all top-notch. Excellent communication throughout our stay. We don’t travel to Connecticut often but if we ever get back to that area, we will stay there again. I highly recommend this house for families as we were traveling with our 10, 8, and 6 year old. The kids enjoyed the paddle boards, the public beach in front of the house, and the neighborhood park to run and play wiffleball.

This is a great home that is like a very well-stocked house! The owners go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. I own a VRBO so I know how much work, care and effort goes into this. You won’t be sorry - book right away. Thanks for an amazing holiday on a beautiful serene glass like lake. We will be back!

Stay was fantastic. We had never been to Candlewood Lake before and found it to be a great area, and neighborhood for this particular house. Everything was super clean, with towels rolled up on the beds for weekend use. Great kitchen table to seat many people for a great time together. Thanks for allowing us to share in the use of your fantastic home.

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Dialed Inn. The home was beautifully decorated, super clean, and included everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. We loved paddle boarding, roasting marshmallows, swimming at the beach next door, and boating. The kitchen included pancake mix, coffee, and all the fixings for s’mores. Bill was super easy to communicate with. Next time we will plan to stay longer. It made my heart happy to see my teens off their phones and playing with their cousins in the water.

We are six women who have been friends for over 20 years and we enjoy once a year a long wkend. This home was so beautiful on the lake. We had gorg5weather so we could sit on the deck by the water and watch the boats and the sunrise. We plan to visit this beautiful home again!

Finding a nice and reasonably priced waterfront house with a dock for boat, 3 bedrooms, and 2 baths is relatively difficult. Bill and Nikki's house fit the "bill". The hosts were extremely nice, accommodating, and responsive to any questions. Would recommend. Note that weekends are always busy at the lake while weekdays more relaxing. My family and day guests had a great time.

We had a wonderful week at the beautiful home located just across from the community beach. Great location for the grandkids and adults alike. Gorgeous views. Very very comfortable.

CT at its best!
Heaven on the lake. The house is a great balance of privacy and activity. Set just off of one if the 3 community beaches in Candlewood knolls and right by the public docks, there us plenty if people watching but calm and quiet when you need it. Sunnies and carp bite right off your private dock and smores are a nightly ritual. The house is comfy and well-appointed. Bill and Nikki are awesome. We’ll be back.

Great weekend at the lake
The house was great and even better then what I was expecting. The family room was a great hang out place, and the deck/outdoor space is perfectly overlooking the lake. Bill was a great host and made sure we had everything that we needed.

Lovely lake house
This was the perfect place to relax for spring break with the kids. The kids had fun playing in the sand and my older daughter enjoyed relaxing on the back porch. Wonderful spot for entertaining and enjoying the water. The host was super attentive and easily available if we had any questions. Wonderful experience, thank you!

Perfect lakeside getaway with kids
We had a great long weekend at Bill and Niki’s beautiful home. The location is amazing and the house is ideal—comfortable, well-equipped, incredibly tidy but not at all fussy. The fireplace (with plenty of wood), lake views, comfortable beds, and well-equipped kitchen were great. Our small kids loved the bunk beds and the toys. The community has a small playground and plenty of walking by the lake and we had a nice hike at a local nature preserve. Bill was super welcoming and easy to communicate with and he and Niki went out of their way to accommodate us. We look forward to visiting again!

Amazing sunrises on the lake
Our scattered family gathered for Christmas at the cottage on the lake. The sunrises out the large back windows were magical - truly amazing. The space was well equipped, with grille, fire places with the making of s'mores provided. There are nice common spaces on the both the first and second floor. The first floor was a little chilly in the morning but the electric heater provided by the owner and a fire in the fire place helped. Very peaceful, quiet stay.

Great Reunion Weekend
Seven life long friends rented the Dialed Inn for an informal reunion in the area. The house was great. The views were fantastic. We spent hours on the deck and had the fire pit going. Bill was always accessible and friendly. We had a great experience.

Another great visit to Dialed Inn
Loved our second visit this summer to Dialed Inn. Again, Bill responded promptly to our queries with helpful tips. We had gorgeous weather this time and spent many hours on the lake in our boat that we docked at the house for the week. Great swimming too. We expect this to be our go-to place at Candlewood for years to come!

Perfect lakefront property
This was one of the best rentals we’ve stayed at. Bill and Nikki went above and beyond to make the stay extra special. We brought our boat and left it at the dock on the property which was super convenient. The outdoor area was absolutely perfect and all of the kids enjoyed the yard and beach. We would stay at this property again and again.

We'll be back!
Charming, refurbished, family-sized waterfront house with beautiful modern bedrooms and bathrooms . First floor has a cozy cabin feel. So many comfortable places to relax, enjoy the gorgeous scenery and all the lake has to offer! Candlewood Knolls is a lovely community with beautiful quiet roads for walking (and a few steep ones is you like to climb). We had 2 days of very hot weather and the central A/C was a lifesaver. Our college age son had his buddies join us for a few days in the room with bunk beds. Bill is a wonderful host and stocks the house with lots of useful items. Great well-stocked kitchen too. This was our first visit to Dialed Inn and we look forward to many more!!

A great little get away
Our daughter is attending graduate school in Connecticut but due to her work load and required covid testing didn't want to make the trip home to Florida during Spring Break. Your home was the perfect retreat. Your newly refurbished deck by the lake was a wonderful place to sit and study while enjoying the sun and the beautiful views. We definitely appreciated the fire place during the cool evenings. Thanks for providing plenty of fire wood and starter logs. The Smores supply set up on the kitchen table, along with the bottle of wine was a very welcoming touch. The home was clean, well stocked, and the beds were comfortable. The extra large griddle was great. The owners quickly responded to any questions we had and made us feel right at home. Thanks for a wonderful mini vacation

Beautiful Views for a Beautiful House
This property is very clean and has great character, it is stunning. It has lovely views of the lake and just about anything you might need for your stay; plus some family branded items that were so cute. There are tons of restaurants/shopping in the area if needed. Bill is a very helpful and kind host who allowed us to check out late the next day because the weather was so much nicer than the rest of the weekend. Lovely house, lovely people, 10/10 would recommend staying here.

Perfect Family Getaway
My family and I had a wonderful time. Everything about the stay was better than we expected. The hosts are great and really make you feel at home with all of the appointments. The home itself was perfect for our family(mom,dad, 7 YO, 5 YO, 3 YO, and 10 month old). We took advantage of going skating on the lake, skiing close by, and enjoyable nights by the fire place.
I could not recommend this place more highly and we will definitely be making a return trip.

Relaxing Family Getaway
We stayed from Nov 1-7 with my parents, husband and two young children (3 yo & 7 mo). The house is at the end of a street in a private community. The house is cozy and beautifully updated from top to bottom. It is right next to the lake and a small beach area. The views are spectacular from the big picture windows. Oh, the beds are extremely comfortable. Our toddler enjoyed the community playground and the toys and puzzles in the house. We hiked at Bear Mountain (Danbury) and Squantz Park about 10 minutes away. The fall foliage is gorgeous this time of year. It was super easy to check in and out. Bill responded quickly to all our questions. Thank you again for a wonderful stay!

It was a real treat to stay in such a charming well appointed house on stunning candlewood lake. We had everything we could possibly need and more (the s’mores and red wine were a great and delicious gift). Fire pit on the dock was just fantastic. The master bedroom bed was so comfy and the owners were a dream to work with. Ready for a repeat stay.

Lovely stay at position A
We visited the first week of September (myself and my soon to be 9 year old) and we had an absolutely lovely stay. The house exceeded my expectations. It had everything we needed, the kitchen is well equipped, the grill is new, love that there was a spare tank on hand in case you needed it (I didn’t). The location is truly perfect for kids. It’s both on the water and on a cul de sac so just a few steps down the driveway across that and you are at the beach. I could be tending to the grill on the deck, or sitting reading in the shade under the awning at the outdoor table, and clearly see my son across the street playing at the beach with the friends he made. All of the neighbors were so friendly, lots of kids playing and riding bikes around the neighborhood. The street is super quiet and most people arrive at the beach via golf cart. The water at the beach was warmer than I expected, we had fun swimming a ton and jumping off the pontoon. We lit a fire in the fire pit by the water and made smores. Gorgeous sunsets, very peaceful, we felt very safe. We didn’t end up turning on the AC and just left the windows and doors open and it was perfect temperature. There are closer shops but I really wanted Whole Foods and that was a quick 25 min drive away. We really enjoyed ourselves and plan on returning for sure for a longer stay. The communication with the owner was excellent, he was super responsive, helpful, friendly, and generous, perhaps the best host I’ve had ever when renting a house. Highly recommend.
