Level, Direct Lakefront, Expansive Western Views, Beach On Candlewood Lake

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.

ALSO, WE ARE ONLY ACCEPTING 2 WEEK RENTALS FOR THE 2026 HIGH SEASON (MID-JUNE THROUGH MID-SEPTEMBER). We have availability from 7/6-7/24 and 8/8 through the end of the summer.

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 have updated the backyard landscaping in 2024.

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

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.


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.
