About the host
Hosted by David Packer
Hello! Some of my earliest memories are in the home where you will be staying.! I grew up just outside of New York City, and my dad built the house as a weekend getaway. It is my honor to be the custodian of this magical place. I've spent a lifetime swimming, boating, waterskiing, and hiking in and around the the lake, and look forward to sharing it with you!
Why they chose this property
For over 50 years, I've looked at the magnificent views from the house and from the dock and it never gets old. The lush green of summer, the spectacular colors of fall, and the white snow covered mountains across the lake in winter. Sunsets over the mountain can be breathtaking. And in all that time, the view across the lake remains the same - unspoiled virgin forest, thanks to it's designation at a Connecticut State Preserve.
What makes this property unique
Squantz Pond is separated from the rest of Candlewood Lake by a causeway which does not allow boats in or out. It means we don't see the kind of boat traffic jams common on the mother lake during weekend. It's much quieter, and much more relaxing. The view across the lake of the mountains perfect. And unlike many other Squantz Pond properties, there is no roadway for you to cross to access our lakefront and dock.
