Road Crossing: Guests must cross a two-lane road to access the lake parcel. While not a highway, cars can move quickly, especially on weekends. Please use extra caution and closely supervise children and pets during crossings.
Mobility Considerations: The first-floor master suite with ensuite bath offers a step-free stay for guests with limited mobility.
The yard has a natural slope and stone steps leading to outdoor spaces and the lake area.
Safety & Convenience: Life vests, extra linens, cleaning supplies, and pet/kid gear provided
Location Highlights
*75 minutes from NYC**
* Close to dining, shopping, and entertainment in **New Milford**
* Ideal for weekend escapes or longer, relaxing getaways

The house was perfect for my family celebrating a birthday. Clean and well equipped for a get away. Beautiful views!!!!
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Sep 2025
The house and property were beautiful! It was well appointed and supplied all necessities plus. The cabana and the extras like floating devices were great to have. We swam in the water and used the canoes. The basement was LOADED with fun games that everyone participated in. They even had a kids area, including toys for infants!! Communications with the host were very responsive. We had zero issues and enjoyed our stay here. We highly recommend this property!!!
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jul 2025
The house and hosts are absolutely incredible! Perfect for large groups or families. The basement adds a massive extra space for hangouts / activities / games without disrupting anyone asleep. House has everything you could want in a lake rental. The private lake area is great being in a cove, only downside of this property is the walk from the house to the steep steps going down to the water which would be tough for olde generations.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Oct 2024
First I will say that the owners were communicative and the check in process was easy. They also had a website set up to add things like an early check in etc which was a nice touch.
The house was clean as well.
The house was fine, however I wouldn't say it was anything special. First the description of "waterfront" is doing a lot of work. The property is not on the lake because the lake is across a very busy road.
Second what was provided was very bare bones. For instance there were no bathroom rugs. There was also nothing left out to clean the counter. Even for a short stay it would be nice to wipe off the table or the counter.
Also two things we were looking forward to:
1. Being able to use the Nespresso machine but they were out of pods
2. Playing the arcade cabinet but the up arrow was broken it seems like a previous guest was a bit rough with it.
In summary, the area is pretty and I'd consider staying at Candlewood Lake again but for the price we probably would not stay here.
