The house is situated on a quiet street at the very end directly on the lake. The lake views are beautiful. There are a significant amount of steps to go down to the lake so keep that in mind for elderly folks. I thought the house could use some more maintenance and TLC overall.

The property had excellent views. Great communication with the host. Great game room in the basement, very spacious rooms, and perfect hangout for the kids. A lot of supplies in the kitchen, for the laundry room, and bathrooms, abundance of towels and extra pillows. Everything was well organized in detail by the host. There was instruction on how to use everything. It was a great overall experience, definitely would book again. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

This is a nice propertyHowever, while the views are beautiful the proximity to the lake are a bit miss leading. To get to the water and get back to the house is a long way down and a real haul back up. If you’re over 50, doubtful you will make the trip to the water and back more than once during your stay. The house looked clean but there must have been a cat or dog here recently and hair was evident.

The house is set on the south western limb of Candlewood Lake, with glorious westerly views over the water to the tree-lined hills opposite. The house is well appointed, with the hot tub, bbq and fire pit seeing some great action during the stay.Matt, our host, was incredibly responsive and helped to ensure we had the best possible stay - thank you!

We came back to the area and wanted a place that had ample space for our 5 older children. The house was stocked beautifully, more so with fishing poles, and kayaks which were used daily. It was a wonderful time with fun memories.

Beautiful Lake-Front Property

Our group stayed here over Thanksgiving and had the best time. The house is beautiful - directly on Candlewood Lake with a sprawling property. The large entertaining spaces (kitchen, living room, dining room, game room, outdoor patios) made this the perfect property for our group. Everything was extremely well-stocked (kitchen supplies, cleaning supplies, extra towels, etc.), and the owners have done an incredibly thorough job including instructions on how to use everything from the jacuzzi all the way down to the coffee maker - which was so helpful throughout our stay.

Beautiful lake house getaway

Great place for my girls getaway on the lake. This home has beautiful views and the house is extremely spacious with plenty of room for fun activities. It is a direct waterfront home, free kayaks available and an option to rent their pontoon boat. Having a dock to also hang out and spend time with the views was amazing. Peter was a very responsive host. We will be back! Thank you
