About this property

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).

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.

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.

Candlewood Lake Family Vacation

The home was exactly as advertised. My family felt very comfortable and enjoyed our brief stay. The lakeside location and views were exquisite. Kim and Chris were very easy to work with, communicate with and very accommodating to our schedule. I would highly recommend their home to others.

Heart of Candlewood

The house was roomy and modern, and located at the heart of the lake. We had an excellent view of all the July 4th fireworks. We enjoyed that it was very near the Echo Marina from which we rented a boat just about everyday. We also enjoyed that we were able to walk 2 plus miles each day on flat and quiet streets.

Chris and Amy were terrific hosts, very responsive and attentive! Everything was just as advertised or better! The lake access was fantastic and everything inside was better than one could hope for! Good light, good air, great/comfy beds. We appreciated their accommodation for our family to stay together. Would love to do it again and again and again!!!

Spectacular Lakeside Vacay

We just returned from our Candlewood Lake vacation and couldn’t be happier. We fell in love with the lake and were very happy with our stay at this property. We enjoyed swimming, kayaking and paddle boarding. Fishing off the dock provided hours of entertainment for our 11 year old son and his friend. The house was perfectly located, had everything we needed and was very comfortable for our party of 6 adults and 2 boys. Kim and Chris were great hosts, very responsive and remained in contact throughout our stay.

You can’t beat Candlewood Lake in the summer!

Kim and Chris were wonderful hosts - very responsive and proactive with communication. It is hard to beat how beautiful Candlewood Lake is in the summer and this house is a great family base. Plenty of room for all of us to spread out, and kids loved the bunk beds! I loved the expansive views off the living room, screened-in porch and master. Neighborhood was great for morning strolls, and quiet at night. Getting out on the water in the kayak and on the paddle board was awesome, right off the beach! Thank you for the great stay!

Checks all the boxes!

We had a wonderful week here! After renting four times on Candlewood Lake, we finally found a house that checks all the boxes for us and our two adult children and their partners (and our priciest to date): 3 comfortable King/Queen beds (and more for guests), 3 full bathrooms, spacious kitchen and common areas. Screened in porch was delightful as was the comfy waterfront furniture under the shaded tree, dock, kayaks and small sandy beach water access. The flat yard is rare on Candlewood and a plus for our elderly parents who came to visit. Central location on the lake was helpful despite the heavy boat traffic on the weekends. Location is ideal for shopping and dining. Only drawback was the septic, a minor annoyance in an otherwise finally appointed home.

Amazing time!

Our family of 5 and our nanny rented this house for a few weeks this summer. From start to finish, everything was wonderful. We were in communication with the owners, they are kind and responsive and helpful, very nice people. We met the next door neighbor who were very nice as well. We really enjoyed our time at Candlewood, the beach is beautiful and our kids enjoyed swimming and playing in the sand. We fished off the dock with the kids. We had 5 adults and 3 kids and the house fit us very comfortably and everyone had their own room to sleep. The community is beautiful, people are nice and fun and the community beach is clean. We had an amazing time and would love to be back! Thanks for being so kind and making us feel like we were home.

Many Positives and a few negatives

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.

Amazing Lake house and Perfect for all ages!

What a fantastic week! This house is beautiful. It was so clean and comfortable with many amenities. Lots of space with comfortable bedroom options. As you walk into the home, the open concept and amazing views from to the lake is breathe taking. We so enjoyed the screen in porch too. The views were spectacular, and the water is so clean right off the private beach and excellent dock. We enjoyed many days playing and relaxing at the beautiful lake. We all swam the entire week. The waterfront and excellent dock make it fun jumping off and floating with tubes and noodles. We kayaked around the lake daily, the firepit provided campfire for making smores! Our family really enjoyed the back yard. It was easy to play frisbee and allow us to easily wheel my 93-year-old mother down to the lake. With beautiful trees for her to have shade and enjoy the days with us. I highly recommend this home for a family vacations, as there is plenty of room for everyone. Lastly, the owners are a pleasure to work with and is an outstanding communicator.

Peaceful getaway

This is an absolutely beautiful place. The sunset aligns with the large living room window and the lake. It was such a peaceful and restful getaway from the city, also very safe and quiet. There is a lot of great hiking in the area for all levels. The communication with the owners was straightforward and easy. We said good-bye to 2020 in this wonderful house on the lake and in nature watching the birds. It was perfect.

Terrific family vacation house

The panoramic view of the lake from the living room is a spectacular first impression. And every night we enjoyed family games there. The bunk beds were a big hit, and the dock is so easy to launch from. A level yard, not always the case at Candlewood, made outdoor activities possible.

Wonderful lake house

We stayed here for Thanksgiving with our family and a friends family. We were 4 adults and 4 kids and it slept us all very comfortably. We probably could have slept 4 more kids comfortably. We also exercised the kitchen heavily - it has two ovens and a good layout. And the living room upstairs has a great couch for conversation or watching the big screen. The views of the lake in mid-afternoon are phenomenal.

Great location on the lake. Rented a boat for tubing & skiing. Second time for this house. Memories made for me with my kids/grandkids. I had owned a house down the block! Familiar territory!
