About this house rental
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, IT CREATES DELAYS AMONG OTHER ISSUES AND YOU MAY HAVE TO CALL VRBO TO CANCEL.
For this high season, we only have a 11-14 night reservation left from about Monday, 8/24, through the week after labor day. Two week stays will be given preference.
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. We have a large backyard with a large boat dock and at least 25 yards of your own sandy beach. PBring your own boat or rent one. The boat ramp is 10 minutes away. 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 have updated the backyard landscaping in 2024. New septic in 2026.
Three-night rentals will only be considered in the off seasons.
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.
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, mildly restrict water usage as the houses on the lake use septic, 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.
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, after hte initial VRBO agrrement.

We had a great weekend. The house was perfect for our group and we had a gorgeous weekend. We spent our afternoons on the private beach and enjoyedthe view. One afternoon we went to a vineyard - easy to get to. We also enjoyed long walks in the neighborhood. I appreciated how quickly the owners responded to my text messages. Thank you.

As always, it's a pleasure to stay at this property. The location is perfect, the lake is beautiful and the house is well-appointed for hosting our family reunion each year. Chris is easy to reach and a great communicator. Checking in is seamless as well.

Amazing family lake vacation. Kim and Chris were incredibly thorough and always responsive. House was exactly as listed and a truly awesome property on the lake.
6 / 10Average·Jun 2025
On the positive side, this house is in a great location, great neighborhood, nice level manicured yard leading to the water and the dock. Plenty of space for the family, both inside and outside. Fantastic sunsets. The owner was great. Very responsive, helpful and generous. On the negative side, this house needs updating and has a poorly functioning septic system that can back up into the shower. The owner asked us to minimize flushing toilets (if it’s yellow, let it mellow), or taking too many showers, or running the washing machine. Understandable, but not what you want to deal with on your vacation. Also know that the kitchen is not a cooks kitchen. Missing many basics. Mismatched and inadequate dishes, silverware, cups, cookware, etc. Think college house set up. Very much a rental!Personally, I would buy this house if it ever came on the market, but would immediately spend the money to upgrade it.
