We had a great time- lake was beautiful and the house was very comfortable. We wanted to be outside and loved the fact that there were several outdoor spaces to enjoy, and the screened in porch made it possible to still enjoy the fresh air when it rained. We would definitely consider staying again next summer.

This house and property were well maintained and in a beautiful setting. We enjoyed the clean lake water and relaxing on the deck and the screened in porch. Access into the water by foot was a bit precarious because of the slippery rocks and the kayaks seemed like they hadn't been used for a long time. These were the only drawbacks.

Fantastic property with wonderful views, very responsive and nice host, we had a very pleasant stay! A bit nitpicky but 2 things would have moved this from great to perfect: 1) provide coffee at least for one morning 2) provide shampoo at least for a one time use. Thanks!

Beautiful spot on the lake

The house was made for relaxing. Lovely views of water and trees. The house had nicely renovated bathrooms and kitchen, good TV and Wi-Fi, and very comfortable beds. We were visiting the area to see family and everyone enjoyed the water access, deck and dock areas. The pool table was a hit, as was the screened porch overlooking the water.

Absolutely wonderful!

Our children 9 and 12 loved the lake and dock. They fished and swam constantly. We had them in life jackets so everyone could relax as the water gets deep quite quickly. As noted the kitchen is fully equipped and we enjoyed cooking and bringing our food down to the water or out onto the screen porch. The mist on the lake in the morning was serene and lovely. We can’t wait to come back.

Great location in upper New Milford with new dock! We were able to bring our boat up from our marina to have at the house which was the best feature, that and the house took our dog. To note, the house is 2 levels and the staircase down to the 2nd level is a steep spiral so the house is not ideal for older people or anyone with mobility issues. That said, the outside steps down to the dock can also take you easily to the 2nd floor with a sliding glass door. Beds were comfortable, there are multiple areas of the house to hang out in and the owner was easy to communicate with.

Outstanding location, Comfortable house

The house was clean and well maintained. Well stocked with kitchen utensils, glasses, plates, cookware and cutlery. The kitchen appliances worked well. Large sectional couch in the living room was very comfortable. Beautiful screened in porch with a perfect view of the lake. There is a large deck outside the house with room for 2 large picnic tables and lots of seating. The lakefront dock area was large and had ample room for assorted chairs, a table, and 2 umbrellas. There is a storage box with various water toys and the property included 2 kayaks with paddles and life preservers. There is a ramp leading into the lake from the dock area as well as a small sandy spot with shallow water which was great for our dog. The water was clean and a comfortable temperature. We enjoyed our stay and would love to return in the future.

Lovely

Had a really nice stay! The water is crystal clear and there is a nice Little Rock staircase down into a Sandy beach, the dogs had an absolute blast swimming all day! The closed in porch was used everyday! And the pool table was a big hit! We grilled everyday, grill worked wonderfully. Only things to note is the oven took a long time to cook things, almost double what it normally would take. And the air conditioning is difficult to find a happy medium between being cool enough upstairs without being Antarctica in the downstairs bedroom. Overall had a great stay and the owners were very responsive to any questions I had. Thanks again.

Nice home, excellent location

Our family of 6 adults (3 couples) had a wonderful stay here. Ideal spot on the lake, centrally located but still a fairly quiet cove, especially on the weekdays. Dock and waterfront area are fabulous. Also enjoyed taking daily walks in scenic nearby neighborhoods with great hills for exercise. Under 10 min drive to many stores and great restaurants too. Loved the screened in porch with view of the lake, large outdoor table, open main room, nice updated bathrooms, and excellent WiFi. Kitchen was well equipped but tight for 6 adults and related food and supplies. Also insufficient space for 6 to eat at the table indoors. Lower level provided nice privacy and space for one couple but A/C was uneven so quite cold down there. We appreciated having 3 queen beds but that made one room very cramped for space. Overall, we highly recommend this house and Mary provided quick responses to our questions.

The Lake House

Our family had a wonderful time at this property, which has a great location on the lake. The house is clean with updated bathrooms and has easy access to the water (yes, there are steps, but they are recently redone and solid). We enjoyed the dock area immensely — reading books, relaxing, and jumping in the lake.

Fun lake house!

We had a wonderful week at this lovely lake house! It’s in a great location, on a very quiet street and a pretty area of the lake. Lots of the opposite shore is undeveloped. It has a fantastic deep water dock with lots of seating and easy access to the water, which was shallow at the shore and sandy, great for the dog! We swam, kayaked and rented a pontoon boat from a very friendly marina nearby (Gerard’s). The house is very comfortable and has lots of seating. The two full baths and the kitchen are really nice and look new. There was plenty of room to spread out and it has an awesome screened in upper porch. We ate there most nights. Great for playing games. The bedrooms are small but comfortable. We really had everything we needed for a great vacation!!! We did have a question for Mary while we were there and she was super responsive. There are also some great restaurants in the area. We enjoyed Lucia, La Picolina and Marketplace. A great experience overall!

Lakeside enjoyment

Me and the family had a wonderful time staying at this lakeside property. We especially loved sitting in the covered porch enjoying our meals while still being able to look at the liveliness of the lake. I have young children and it was very easy to access the lake and get into the water while still feeling comfortable with their safety. The house was very comfortable and the kitchen was very easy to use.

Wonderful quiet lakeside getaway

We had a great time staying at this property over Labor Day weekend. The house was exactly as shown in pictures. It’s not anything fancy inside, but it’s clean and comfortably fits 3 couples in private bedrooms, and could have fit even more on the two futons downstairs. The lake was beautiful and the new floating dock was a great place to lounge in the sun. They also left two kayaks with the property which we got plenty of use out of. Mary was quick to respond to any questions we had. Highly recommend!

Last minute getaway success

We are a family who was looking for a last minute getaway and this did the trick! It was fun exploring all the little quirks of the home (the weather stick was our favorite in the screened in porch), we were always by the dock on the nice chairs, fishing (we caught 3), and enjoyed the atmosphere of being on the lake. Mary was great and answered all of our question! Couldn't have asked for more! Thanks again for our memories!

About the host

Hosted by Mary

Host profile image

We are a retired couple that have owned this property since 2001. We love to travel and spend as much time by the water whenever possible. Our family is very important to us and we have spent many happy occasions at the lake. Everyone we have invited or have hosted absolutely love the tranquility of our home.
We are obsessed with cleanliness. We have travelled the world and more than anything we insist on staying somewhere where they care about sanitation. We stress this to our housekeeping staff.

Why they chose this property

The property is located on New Milford Bay which is the deepest part of the lake. It is also the quietest part of the lake 11 miles from the Danbury boat launch.

The house has 2 decks. One with a gas BBQ and seating. The other large deck has tables and chairs to dine. Both have direct views of the lake. Our screened in porch is an extension of the living room that overlooks the lake and is great for entertaining or having a peaceful cup of coffee any time of day.

The family room on the lower level feature a glass wall overlooking the lake and a pool table. The sliders lead out to a small patio and down to the lake.
There is a full bath on each level.

The private boat dock is included and features a deck with dining table and chairs, Adirondack chairs, and umbrella. Dive off the dock or walk into the water from the yard.

The rental comes with 2 kayaks for your use.

What makes this property unique

There are 2 bedrooms on the main level with a full bath.
The lower level has a bedroom, full bath and 2 futons in the family room.
All have queen size beds.

The Big Y grocery store is 7 minutes away. There are many stores (Walmart, TJ Maxx, Home Goods, Stop & Shop, Etc.) minutes away. Apple Picking, Movie Theaters, Golf, Kent State Park water falls and the town Kent is an artist community. Also lots of antique store. The Elephant's Trunk Country Flea Market is open on Sundays and is always featured on Flea Market Flip TV show.
Many close by restaurants.
