About this property
5 min walk to private beach
Welcome to Longview Lakehouse! We are located in a private lake community on Candlewood Lake in Brookfield, CT. Access to the lake, private beach, playground, basketball and volleyball courts! This cozy, newly updated home boasts 2 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen with spacious living room & pellet stove, a dining area, and a finished walkout basement. We are also pet friendly! Wedding, Girls Getaway & Couples Retreat add-ons available :)
Check us out on IG - @LongviewLakehouse
Our home was designed with relaxation in mind. The decor is a mix of Scandinavian and Bohemian with touches of Mid-Century Modern accents. The lake house is walking distance to the private beach and only a 3 minute drive to Echo Bay Marina, where guests can rent a boat, jet ski, or go water skiing!
Outside features include a fire pit, patio with outside dining table/chairs, gas BBQ, and a fenced in backyard on 3 sides for added privacy. We also have outdoor games in our shed for the whole family to enjoy: corn hole & badminton. The outdoor space is great for a daytime BBQ with friends/family or a quiet night around the fire pit making s'mores.
Inside, our home has a ton of beautiful natural light in all rooms, and is very peaceful and quiet. In the living room, you'll find a comfortable vegan leather sofa and 50" smart TV - equipped with Netflix, Peacock and Disney + subscriptions. We also have a few books and games for guests to enjoy - Chess/Checkers, Jenga, Uno, a deck of cards, puzzles, and kids toys!
Our kitchen is equipped with a dishwasher, electric stove, coffee maker, refrigerator/freezer, pots/pans, and all the necessary essentials for making a delicious meal.
Our sitting room has 4 comfortable Scandinavian chairs situated around our easy-to-use pellet stove - perfect for a cozy night in! We also have a finished basement with an additional pellet stove, TV, and sliding glass door to the backyard. This space can be used to sleep a 5th guest, as we have an air mattress in the basement closet.
Upstairs you will find the beautiful primary bedroom with a queen bed, comfortable bedding, sitting chair, and workstation. Across the hall is our stylish secondary bedroom with a full size bed and another workstation! We've got you covered if you work from "home." Both rooms have double closets with tons of space. In between the bedrooms is our updated full bathroom equipped with a tub/shower combo and removable hand held shower head. You can also find luxury bath towels, hand towels and wash-clothes in the bathroom closet.
The lake house is super family friendly with a pack n play, high chair, kids toys/books and night lights. It's also perfect for couples wanting to get-a-way for a fun trip on the lake surrounded by nature, breweries and vineyards. Check out my guest guidebook to see all the things to do in the area.

About the host
Hosted by Christienne Gerlinger
Hi, I'm Christienne! My husband and I love to travel, and always stay at short term rentals. We have really enjoyed staying in unique places and meeting so many wonderful hosts. In fact, we love it so much that we decided to buy a vacation home in Candlewood Lake, CT and host guests ourselves!
I grew up on the East coast, and moved to Los Angeles 6 years ago for work. We travel back and forth to visit family, and when we're not in CT - we welcome guests to stay at our lake house.
Our property managers, Yasmina & Chris, take care of our home when we're not there. Guests will also be well taken care of in their hands as they are just a few blocks away. We look forward to hosting you and making your stay as enjoyable as possible!
