We stayed for 2 nights over the Memorial Day weekend. The lake house was clean and comfortable. We rented kayaks from Candlewood kayak rental ($100/day incl. free delivery and pick up). As mentioned in another review, the next door neighbor has 5 dogs that barked incessantly whenever we were outside or on the porch, with or without our dog. They also barked at every passing boats, etc. so we were constantly hearing them. There is a fence between the neighbor and this property but one of the dogs jumped over the fence and frightened us and our dog. We could not enjoy the outdoor amenities (outdoor seating, grill, fire pit) at all for this reason. It’s very unfortunate (and not this owner’s fault) because there are few dog friendly rentals on this lake. The lake is narrow at this location and the road noise from across the water was constant. Probably not an issue during a week, but I do think people should be aware.
Could not ask for a better location on the lake. Having a dock right there behind the house, made things so much easier. It was a perfect house and property for our weekend fishing trip.
The house is clean, comfortable and nicely situated right on the lake. Not for the elderly or disabled. Lots of steps and not well lit.
The property met all our needs and the property manager was available and wonderful to meet and talk to.
Overall we had a nice stay. The leaves were in full color change so the view was spectacular. It rained unfortunately so we really maxized relaxation, the screened in porch and the tv channels! Nicely appointed kitchen with all the equipment needed. Bedrooms were nicely sized and comfortable! Only thing that visitors with dogs might want to be aware of is were the house next door have a lot of barking dogs, and one did get loose one day when we were walking our dog in the side yard. When the neighbor dogs were out in their large backyard, they barked very aggressive toward our dog.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sweet Dotti's Cottage. House was charming and well equipped. View on and across Candlewood Lake is amazing. Highly recommend!
Great house. Great lake. Lots of fun and relaxation!
Very comfortable and relaxing! Had all that we expected right on the lakefront being together with family.
Well thought out accommodations. Easy check in and out. everything you need was available. Screened in porch was wonderful with great view of lake. Private yard with lots of grass, and blooming gardens. Dock was good for sitting on jumping off and of course a boat. Easy parking on a quiet street. Brought our dogs and felt comfortable having them there.
Great private location. Home was great to enjoy family with.
Needed to get a break from busy schedules but didn’t want to travel too far! Allowed us to take a deep breath - even if just for 2 days!
