About this property
Peaceful Pinewood Retreat 1 hour from NYC, close to Yale, SHU, & FU!
Relax and rejuvenate in this beautiful lakeside home only an hour from NYC -- perfect for a friends and family get-away or work-cation! This lake-view home includes 2 fireplaces, a fire pit, 4 bedrooms, a private loft, and 2 full bathrooms, living room, dining room, family/media room, and a home office -- all freshly cleaned, disinfected, and waiting for your friends and family gathering. The huge terrace with Weber gas grill, hammock, lounge chairs, fire pit, shuffleboard, corn hole, is perfect for outdoor fun. TONS of hiking, X-country skiing, and biking trails in the area, plus orchards, winery, breweries, and restaurants. The house sleeps 8 guests (see details). The living room is full of natural light from the large south-facing picture window overlooking the lake and also features a huge stone fireplace for gathering around. The newly renovated kitchen with granite countertops has an island for foodie group cooking. The well-equipped kitchen opens up to the dining room with a stunning one-mile view of Pinewood Lake. The home office is a great place for a private zoom calls – or an introvert’s escape. Wifi is newly upgraded to Frontier's "FiberOptic Gig Service" with a "25x faster upload speed than cable" and noted "best internet service for gaming" -- so stream, zoom, game, and binge-watch...or read a book. Located in beautiful Fairfield County, CT, in a suburban neighborhood, the Amtrack/MetroNorth (Bridgeport) station is about 13-minutes away. This host is delighted to assist as you plan your get-away. Please inquire about lake access for Pinewood Lake Association's "tenant membership" (only one granted per calendar year). The lake itself is not part of the property and requires membership for access (swimming, boating, and fishing). Note: This property is NOT listed on any other platform as a rental.

About the host
Hosted by Martha Olson
Rick and Martha have raised 5 children and bought this home as a family gathering place. We love hospitality! Over the past 15 years, we have hosted numerous international students from all over the world. In addition to traveling, we also enjoy classical & jazz music, reading, cooking, cycling, hiking, sailing, swimming, and kayaking.
Why they chose this property
This charming home was built in 1949 and located in a peaceful suburban lake community. The home includes an amazing kitchen/dining area for foodie gatherings, 2 fireplaces, a cozy "home office", a smart HD TV with Roku for casting your favorite shows. If you love outdoors, then take advantage of the huge terrace with a hammock, lounge chairs, dining table, fire pit, gas grill, shuffle-board and corn hole. Or venture out to the numerous parks and nature trails, restaurants, breweries, or orchards to pick your own seasonal fruits. This property has all the comforts and joys of a vacation get-away, yet it is conveniently located close to major transportation routes. The Amtrack/MetroNorth (Bridgeport) station is 13-minutes away. We look forward to your arrival and exceeding your expectations! Note: the lake is not part of the property and access requires membership to the private Pinewood Lake Association.
What makes this property unique
The south-facing views of Pinewood Lake are stunning year-round. The large terrace is great for a fire pit, grilling and dining al fresco, relaxing in the hammock or lounge chairs, playing shuffle board or corn hole, star-gazing, yoga and exercise, and just soaking up the sunshine with a great book!
